Tipton St John Community Hall
Treasurer’s Report for year ended 31[st] March 2025
The Community Hall has had another busy year. Last year the Trustees, mindful of the pressures on people’s incomes, decided not to increase rental rates for the Hall. This resulted in rentals from our regular users being very close to the previous year but rentals from other users, parties etc., showed a welcome increase. There were not as many fund-raising events: disappointingly a Puppets event for youngsters had to be cancelled due to lack of support but the Quiz Nights continued to be popular and raised a worthwhile amount, helped by an increase in the admission charge last September.
The overall financial result for the year was a surplus of £4,011.18: the regular necessary expenses of running the Hall continue with the biggest category being repairs and maintenance of the building. The main and small halls, entrance lobby and corridor were all redecorated and new blinds fitted in both the halls. Also, the fence between the Hall and our good neighbours at Otterside was replaced with the cost being equally shared.
Again, the financial position of the hall continues to be healthy. Our income has benefitted from the higher rates of interest available by putting some of our funds on fixed-term deposit. With a large building to maintain it is reassuring to have good reserves in case any expensive repairs need to be made at short notice. The hall bank balances are not restricted funds and are to be used at the discretion of the Trustees.
We are again very thankful to Mr Allen Marks for examining and reporting on these accounts.
