Skipsea Village Hall Treasurer’s Report 2024

2024 saw a lot of investment in the repair and renewal of the Village Hall, largely as a result of a number of successful grant applications which secured £33,238.

	Revenue Account	Restricted Total
Total Income	£26,478.33	£34,720.33 £61,198.66
Total Expenditure	£26,961.27	£21,444.67 £48,405.94
Deficit/Surplus	(482.94)	£13,275.66 £12,792.72

Expenditure slightly exceeded income on the revenue account, but only after taking a significant amount match funding towards repairs and renewals. These included repainting the Windsor Hall and Seminar Room replacing the bumper strip around their walls and replacing the old tables with 33 tables with tilt tops and castors. The new tables are much easier to move when setting up and clearing up after events and thanks must go to the Two Ridings Foundation, Lissett Wind Farm Community Fund, Tesco Stronger Starts and East Riding of Yorkshire’s Do it for East Riding Community Grants which supported this Project. The net cost to the revenue account for all this work was £1,255.82.

To reduce our energy costs we switched suppliers from EON to Octopus in June and were successful in securing a 100% grant of £3,888.00 from the UK Government’s VCSE Energy Efficiency scheme which enabled us to replace all the remaining fluorescent light fittings in the kitchen, Seminar Room and Windsor Hall with much more energy efficient LED fittings. We also secured an £11,500 grant from the Northern Powergrid Foundation to install a battery which will be charged from our solar panels and partly discharged when the sun doesn’t shine and fully discharged during power cuts. This should also reduce our electric bills and mean that the Seminar Room and Kitchen will have some light, heat and power for a few hours during Skipsea’s frequent power cuts. These works will be completed in February 2025.

Late in the year we secured a grant of £2,000 from the SSE’s new Atwick Thermal Community Fund towards the cost of purchasing a new, more manoeuvrable ride on mower which should help with grounds and Play Park maintenance. This will be purchased early in 2025.

We were also successful in securing grants from East Riding of Yorkshire Council towards Warm Space during the winter months (£4,350 with a further £2,350 due early in 2025) and via Skipsea Parish Council to celebrate the 80[th] Anniversary of D Day at Brunch in June (£250). The Hull and East Riding Charity also granted us £200 towards the Toddlers Go Large children’s activity project which ran on Tuesdays during August.

A number of other activities were tried during the year including Craft Club, Line Dancing, New Age Kurling and Circuit Training, but whilst they generated a small amount of interest and income at the time all were discontinued due to lack of support. Sadly, this is also true of the monthly Coffee, Cake and Chatter sessions. A youth club was planned for 2024, but a lack of volunteer capacity meant that this could not be taken forward.

However, exercise classes generated £1,666.20 (of which £1,134 was from Jan Waldron’s yoga classes), hall hire £5,689.98 (This now includes an aire for campervan overnight stays) and fundraising £8,908.07 which includes the monthly Brunch, Term time weekly Toddler Group, a number of Table Top Sales, Community Cinema, Open Mic Nights and clothing bank £84. The Summer Fair and Bonfire Night events also fall into this category and both covered their costs.

Particular thanks must go to Ian and Michelle Newman for their continued support and fundraising which generated £1,410, of which £635 was allocated to the Play Park. Thanks must also go to everyone who has supported Play Park fundraising events such as Family Bingo nights the Easter Egg hunt. During the year the separate Barclays Account for the Play Park was closed and due to poor service £350 of compensation was secured following the intervention of the Financial Services Ombudsman. This has been credited to the Play Park. Following generous donations received in 2023 we were able to claim £2,387.63 in Gift Aid from H M Revenue and Customs which brings restricted funds for the Play Park to a total of £6,888.95.

Skipsea Village Hall and its Play Park are outstanding modern, accessible community facilities when compared to many other villages. However, they will only remain so with the dedicated support of volunteers and the local community, so please come along to our events and if you would like to get involved, please talk to a committee member.
