The meetings include a review of the financial position plus reviewing maintenace, Heath & Safety and events as necessary The management committee maintainn a reserves policy with a minimum of £20,000 held in reserve for unexpected finacial shocks . This is kept under review periodically Objectives and Activities The objective of the charity , more fully detailed within the constitution , is to run a village hall for the benefit of the residents of Stockcross The hall is utilised by a number of customers for which hire fees are payable and in addition, the management committee organises various evevnts through the year to benefit the residents and in many cases to raise additional funds ## Achievements and Performance The accounts this year have been prepared ona cash ( receipts and payments basis ) more appropriate for the size of the charity.In doing this the previous years figures have been restated to provide a direct comparision. Trading improved in the year benefiting from the increase in hiring rates applied to help offset the increasing costs of electricity . The net affect is the hall returned a welcome surplus of £4,307 for the year. The previous year on the cash basis also now shows a surplus. Total adjusted income was £38,178 split between : Hiring fees & rent £31,299 Events £4,076 Donations £2,010 Interest £793 Hiring tees benetitted trom the 5% increase has been applied trom August 2024 ta further ensure the costs are covered Donations comprised a substantial donation from a resident for which our thanks is recorded. | also record our thanks to Sir Richard Sutton Ltd who have supported the hall by paying for various maintenance works which were required during the year Event income benefitted from the Pantomime, wine tastings and other events for which my thanks go to all the people who donate a considerable amount of time & effort ensuring the events are a success. The figures include the revenue for the Migz event held late in June 2024 but for which revenue fell into the current year although costs were incurred in the previous year 1 | | Sutton Hall forTrustees’the yearReportended 30 June 2025 it is pleasing that our strong trading allowed various village community groups to continue using the hall free of charge plus continuing the heavily discounted rates to village residents thus clearly meeting our key charitable objectives of running a venue for the benefit of Stockcross. The hall running expenses were £33,871 . The increased expenses are reflective of the increased power costs of £10753 compared to prior year £9,371 and for part of the year paying two wages during the caretakers maternity leave and additional cleaning costs , offset by Statutory Maternity Pay contributions from HMRC .| am pleased to report that from February 2026 a new power contract will come into effect saving around 30% from the rates. . The hall continues to be a high quality and popular venue. The hall improvements made over recent years have enhanced the facility . | therefore anticipate strong rental income Into the 2025/26 year. However, costs continue to increase , wages, consumables, maintenance all continue to rise . Also we will not benefit from income from the Pantomime . | therefore anticipate a ‘tight’ year ahead , easing in the final quarter as our power costs start to reduce An investment into the small hall is planned to refurbish it and create a more weloming community space . Estimated costs are £15,000 and funding is being raised from The National Lottery and others Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law **----- Start of picture text -----**
