benefits from. OLir footfall for the year was around 2,058 hours of hall hire, 8quating to about 21,000 people
accessing the centre. This was slightly up from the previous year of 2,048 hours.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Income was slightly more than than last year at £42,201. Expenditure was more Ihan last year at £45,024. There
were increases in utility Costs as well as repairs and mainten2nce. AR a result, we gndp.d the year with a deficit
of £2,822.
There was not the incrg.ase in bookings we had hoped for. Therefore, bookings still have not returned to pre-covid
levels. In addition, there Is still a squeeze Dn spending due to the cost of living crisis. The number of hours booked
slightly increased compared with the previous year {2,058 hours compared with 2.048 hopursl. We have included
the fr88 hours given to hirers. We may have to adjust to having fewer hours booked in the future.
Reserves Policy
All of our reserves are unrestricted funds. At the end of the financial year we held around £70,255.
We hold unrestricted funds to mitigate against financial risk and meet major improvement ur repair costs not
covered by Southwark Council.
Projections of Income and Expendlture for 2024-25
Income is projected to be around £45,000 and expenditure is projected to be around £47,000. We are projecting
a deficit of £2,000. To balance th8 books, we will have to increase our hall hire charges by an average of £1 per
hour.
