## **Report of the Trustees**
## **Objectives of the Charity**
The provision and maintenance of a village hall in Castle Bytham for the use of the inhabitants of the area without discrimination due to age, disability, sex, nationality, race, political or religious opinions.
The use of the village hall covers meetings, exhibitions, lectures, classes and other types of recreational and leisure activities for the specific purpose of the social welfare of the inhabitants.
## **Activities during the Year**
The charity has had another successful year, with income from ongoing activities increasing to £6,537 (2022: £5,454). This was due to an increase in the general usage of the hall and the amounts raised through special events.
The balance of the income shown in the accounts relates mainly to grants to upgrade the heating system in the hall to be both more effective and energy efficient. Income of £20,242 was received from South Kesteven District Council and a further £600 from the Parish Council. The total cost of the heating upgrade was £21,264. Individual donations of £3,656 were also received specifically to fund the insulation of the roof which is scheduled for 2024. The trading surplus for the year was £2,783 and net funds at the year end were £17,696 (2022: £14,913).
There were no changes to the trustees during the year and no other significant events to report.
