REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
OBJECTIVIES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
To provide a community hall for the use of local people, charities and community groups in and around Milford Haven.
Public benefit
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
This year has been a steady year at the Pill Social Centre.
We have still suffered from local competition meaning a loss of some of our large wedding functions but children’s parties are still booking well. As the large functions generate a lot of work for sometimes very little income, this did not prove too much of an issue.
The ongoing problem with the old-style drains is still causing problems. We have to unblock the drains on a regular basis. We have had quotes to replace the system but the cost is very high and unless we can find a grant, this problem will be ongoing.
Income remained steady and for a volunteer run community hall the finances were healthy by the end of the financial year.
The four trustees running the hall remained the same and our dedication was still strong.
Regular users of the hall stay the same this year. These groups include Slimming World, Milford Haven Opera, Unison Dance, Roz Fitness and the Welsh Blood Service use the hall as their base in Milford for Blood Donations.
Christmas Together, a function held on Christmas Day for those that would otherwise be alone, did go ahead in December 2024 and the numbers were greater than the previous year.
The New Year was looking steady with bookings and we look forward to another year of keeping the hall open for the use of the community.
