ANNUAL REfuRNS
2023 TO 2024

CHAIRMAN'S ANNUAL REPORT 202312024
This has been another challenging year for the Cent￿ but once again we have
beaten the odds and come through it. Despite the economic climate we have
manged to maintsin a healthy income due to the outstsnding efft)rts of the
whole team but especially our bookings secretary.
This means that this year we hope to spend some time and effort in improving
and updating some of our facilities as well as continuing to ensu￿ that the
outdoor areas remain accessible and safe for all our clients.
I thank you all for the hard work and dedication you continue to show towards
the centre and look forward to another successful year.

Chairman

Treasurer's report: 202312024
The 202312024 financial year has been a difficult year.
The hike in gas and electricity pri￿S has meant that our utilities bills have rnore than
doubled. The utilities costs have been exa￿rbated with continued on90ing
incompatibility issues with our boiler and hot water system, hopefully the proF()sed
solution will at least partially redu￿ ￿)StS but only time will tell
over the course of the year our users have come and gone but yet again our
bookings secretary's hard work has meant that income from tookings was only down
£257.00 on last year. yet another remarkable achievement.
Of those bookings we received, the ino)me was divided 47.5% from community
bookings and 52.5Yo from For Profit hire.
Community bookings were up 1.5% (46% to 47.5%). whilst for profft hire was down
1.5% (54% to 52.5 % ) of booking income.
Our policy of HIRING space continues to be sound and in a normal year we can
ex￿1 to make a reasonable rf small profft.
Financially we a￿ sound and have suffuent reseprfes to continue into the 202412025
financial year whilst we hOp￿IlY we continue to build our bookings.
A note of caution needs to be sounded.
Our Gas l Electricity supplier has indicated. a minor decrease in fuel costs whth will
welcomed.
rades to the centre: Wthilst we have ended the year £649.83 down on the year,
we spent £13262.81 on refurbishing and modemising the 4 sets of toilets wrthin the
centre (2 Female and 2 Male). Had we not done so we would have ended the year
with a net profit of £12619.98.
Hire costs. The trust*s as part of their Annual Review will look at hire costs and if
the climate pemits, and they feel it to be necessary, adjust them as seems
appropriate.
