The charity receives income from the hire of the hall and grants from the Parish Council. This year, the grant from Etwall Parish Council was received as payment for a new fire alarm system, which is the reason for the drop in income. Expenditure has increased due to:
-
Inflation
-
The continued sharp rise in utilities costs
-
continued maintenance of the hall
-
The caretaker is on the payroll of the Council to minimise administration costs administering pensions etc. and the hall reimburses the cost. Wages this year are high due to a backdated salary increase.
Use of the hall
The main hall is well subscribed and the bookings clerk occasionally has to turn away potential hirers. A second room refurbished in Phase 2 is beginning to attract new hirers with its main hirer, Etwall Bowls Club, being very active.
Village Hall Improvement Project
Over the next year, further Section 106 funding will become available from a housing development in the village. This “up market” development is progressing very slowly and the timing of Phase 3 is being delayed. Phase 3 will primarily consist of improvements to the main hall to install an insulated suspended ceiling, upgrade the lighting and install an upgraded public address / hearing loop system. These works will significantly improve our environmental impact. The first release of funds is predicted to be available for initial works to commence in summer 2025.
