Skipsea Village Hall Treasurer's Report 2023 2023 was a year of consolidation after a large number of changes in 2022. Fundraising for the Play Park continued apace and all the hard work came to fruition with its construction in November and soft opening in December. Revenue Account Play Park Total Total income Total expenditure £31,566.26 £35,770.53 £52,091.91 £71,515.06 £ 83,658.17 £107,285.59 Deficit £ 4,204.27 £19,423.15 £ 23,627.42 Revenue Account Expenditure significantly exceeded income, but as Appendix 1 shows during 2023 we had to pay most of 2022's electricity bills {£2,884.04 was owed on 1.1.2023}, an extra large water bill {£921.83) following works to the pond in the autumn of 2022 and contributions of £5,000 and £201.60 towards the Play Park. If these exceptional items are taken into account, and £2,000 of the Warm Space 2023-24 grant which wasn't received until January 2024, less £1,000 grant from Dogger Bank Wind Farm Community Fund for redecorating the hall which was received in December, then a modest surplus of £586.29 would have been achieved. A number of repairs were undertaken during the year, most notably to the patio thanks to a grant of £1,300 from Skipsea Parish Council. In the autumn the range {cooker and hob) was replaced thanks to a £4,000 Do it for East Yorkshire grant which also enabled us to deliver Warm Space with a more varied menu and physical activities including New Age Kurling, Boccia and skittles from October to December. £2,000 was received in October and a further £2,000 in January 2024. We were also successful in securing a £1,000 grant from the Dogger Bank Community Fund to redecorate the Windsor Hall, Seminar Room and gents toilet. These works were undertaken in January 2024. In order to raise more interest in, and income from, the hall a number of new activities were introduced including Table-Top Sales (£987.10), Craft Group {£859.10), Line Dancing {£332), three craft fairs (£300), Dog training (£180} and a Toddler Group (£140). £142 was also received from the old Youth Club in anticipation of a new one commencing and the new clothing bank contributed £42.50. Bar takings increased significantly to £7,634.36 as a result of Family Discos, Family Bingo, Open Mic Night, family parties 2nd a wedding and many of these activities contributed to funding the Play Park. All were helped with the introduction of machines to take card payments. Regular events were given more publicity and made significant income contributions.. Brunch (£2,472.94), Yoga (£844}, In it to win it (£499 after prizes and the gambling licence had been paid out), Coffee, Cake and Chatter (£249.17), book sales (£88.64}.Although the hall was hired out for a number of family and children's parties, corporate events and meetings and as a base for the University of York's archaeologists, income from hire was £5,777.77, down on previous years. Play Park Generous donations, notably from Darren Turfrey, and Community fundraising activities including the nativity, smartie challenge, cake sales, Board Inn Quiues, treasure hunts raised a phenomenal £4,941.91 during the year. The following grants were also secured.. £10,000 National Lottery Community Fund,. £10,000 Orsted, £10,000 Lisset Wind Farm Community Fund; £5,000 Bernard Sunley Foundation,. £3,000 The Cattle Trust,. £2,000 Hull and East Riding Charity and the result is a fabulous new Play Park was built in November, open in December and will be ofFicially celebrated at an event to be held on 13 April 2024. This is all most welcome, but both the Village Hall and the Play Park will need to be maintained and this can only be achieved if they are well used and events supported during 2024. None of the activities described above would have been possible without the numerous volunteers who contribute in so many ways to our Village Hall. The Trustees are deeply grateful to you all for donating your skills, time and energy. If you haven't volunteered, but would like to, please don't be shy, come and have a chat and it could be a lot of fun and very satisfying. Jonathan Platt Treasurer
