WITHAM P HALL TRLIST LIMITED REPORT OFT ETRUSTEE FOR THEYEAR ENDED30JUNE2025 STRucfuRE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT H15toiy and constitutlon DIscu55ions between Br8intree Dlstrictcouncil and representatives of With2m Amateuroperatic Society, Witham Operatic Workshop and With2m Drarnatlc Club be88n late 2008 when it was first mooted that, in li¢)e with the Braintree District Coiincil long terffl plan, the running ol Witham Public Hall and other H311s owned by Braintree Di5tri¢t Council could be outsourced to group5 of interested parties. A5 a result, a small group was put together representing four of the major users of the Hall under the name Witham Theatre Associ3tion. In 2010 this becam¢ Witham Public Hall Trust Limited In order to reflect a more inclusive and community-wlde approach. Following a period of ionsultation and the 35slstsnce of Pa￿1 Conway of Conway, FieldingÈnd GO￿gh laccountantsland Chris Haywood of Brightand Sons1501icitorsl, a company limited by guarantee (Company RegI￿ratiOn No. 74528651 was incorporated in England on 29 November 2010 to lacilit3te the takeover of the day-to-day management of the H311 on a not-for"profit basis. The Company was registered ￿1th the aiarity Commlssion on 20 January 2011 (Charity Registration No. 11399571. A Business Plan was prepared and after much discussion was sutimitted and approved by Braintree District Councll. Since Wltham Public Hall Trust Limited, under the Management of Brair)tree District Council, had operating costs excpÉdinB venue5 by appiu%mately £20,000 it was forec35t ￿th5n the Business Plan that the Trustocs wtsuld rieed three years to turn around the losses and achieve sustsinability on an operating basis. However, it wa5 a150 agreed that a truly sustainable business would need to have adequate reserves for unexpected eventualities and that Withattt Public Hall Trust Lim1ted would not be in a position to set aside such reserves for many years. Discussions with Braintree Dlstrlct Council continued throughout2011 until 2 Lease Agreement, granting Witham Public Hall Trust Ltd 3 25 year lease to run Witham Public Hall, was signed on 16 September 2011. A b2nk account was set up under the. nxme Witham Public Hall Trust Llmited and company incorporation costs and miscellaneou5 Other pre-trading expenses were met by dollations frotn With2m Amateur Oper3tlc Society and Witham Dramatic Club. Those donations were subsequently commuted into rnembership fees for the fivst year ol trading. Braintree District Council granted Wltham Publlc Hall Trust Limited thesurn of £11,500 towards utilities expenses in Its lirstye3r and togethe¥ with the licence fee from the Citizens Advice Bureau. which occupies several rootns in the bulldln8S adjacent to the Main Hall, this served as worting c8Pltal from Witham Public Hall Trust Limited. A further £3,000 was granted to Witham Public Hall Trust Limlted towards start-up costs 3nd this was all 5P2nt on IT equipment, website development, Stationery, and maiketiTrg. Formal tradlng of Withatn Publit Hall Trust Lirnited began on 16 September 2011 and Wltham Public Hall Trust Limlted booked all cdsts and revenues associated with running Witham Public Hall from that date. An employment contract was agreed wrth the caret2ker and PAYE and Natlonal Insurance details were duly regi5ttred with HMRC. All tommeicial contracts for utilities and other 5Èrvices delivered to Witham Public Hall were transferred to Witham Public Hall Trust Limited 2nd every user orthe hall was contacted Jboutthe change of man38ement. Hire fee5 to users of the h351 were all ￿￿tInIsed and the laree variation in hiring rates which h3d @VDlved in the past was rationalised so that they were both f31r and cornpetitive. Where the move to a new rate represented 3 big percentsEe Increase for the hirer a trsnsitional rate was usually aEreed In order to make the change to the new rate easier to m3na8e. No hirers felt the need to cancel their bookings and the overall effett of rationalisinE hire fees and gaining new hirers led to 3 40% increase in revenues Irom hiving in the first year. A membership scheme was establlshed In the first year and those regular users of the hall who pay a membership fee benefit from a more favourable rate. In 2012113 3 Sum of £8,000 was donated by Braintree District Council specifically for the creation ol a new bar. Some additlonal investment, in excess of £1,￿0, was made by Witham Publlc Hall Trust Limited to complete the bar to a high standard, including new fridges, tills, optics and othe¥ accessories. Subsequently the Trust has received a grant from the Essex Community In￿tIatiVe Fund as well 35 interest free loans from Witham Am3teur Operatic Society to enable the Trust to replace all the seating. In 201912020 and 202012021 theTrust received grants from Essex County Council in resp¢¢t of the impact of Covid on hospltality venue5. These were sufficEnt to keetk the Public Hall open for the National Blood Transfusion Service and those few events that restrictions allowed. Recrultment and appointment of newtrustees The Ch3rity's Trustees aro appointed at a meeting of the Board of Trustees follawing a selection process and recommendation by an existing Trustee. The Board requires breadth and depth of experience to carry out its duties effectively. When recruiting new Trustees, the 803rd takes into consideratlon eligibility, personal competen￿, specialist sktlls of knowledge 3nd local availability. Page 2

WITHAM PUBLIC HALL TRUST LIMITED REPORTOFTHET USTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 20JUNE2025 STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Organlsatlon31 structure The Trustees rnaintsin overall responsibility for the charity and its assels. DurinB the year the Trustees dete￿iDed the policy of the charity with rÈgÉrds to hiring the hall snd promoting events. They assisted in the management of the charity via the operation of the Maln Board as well as provided direct help to the Management Team as valuiiteers, rnalnlyas Front of Hause and Bar Assistants during promoted events. Dur¢n8 the yearthe day-to-day managetnentofthe H311 was delegated to the Hall Manager, Nigel Northf1eld and the Events Mana8er/Front of House Manager. Graham Green- the Man3gement Team. However, Graham Green 5s nowstepping back 2nd offering support to Nigel Northlleld until additional help can be found. R15k Management The Trustees have assessed the major iisks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those relating to the specific operational 3reas of the charity and its linances. The twstees believe that by Monitoring cash Te5erve5 and hire bookings versus anticipated expEnditure the key financlal risks can be controlled. However, exposure to the CAB'g abllity to receive funding ICAB is a major contributor to Wlth3m Public Hall Trust Limited revenues Since it licence5 several rooms under With3m Public H311 Trust Llmited controll is outside the tru5tees' control. To establish an adeqvate capital reserve lor repairs, redecoration, and unforeseen business risks, £18,WOwa5 &llocJted to reserves attheend of the firstyear of tr3dlng and an additional £4,000 has been added to reserves each year. Untll year-end 2020 these reserves were capped at approximately £40,000 and were m3tthed by cash at bank. As a result of Covid and the r3pidity with which plans for promoted events and other income-generating activities can be cancelled the board decided in 2020121 to add the Covid grant of £25.0(K) (from 8raintiee District Council) to reserves, taking totsl reserves to £75,607. However, trading almost returned to normal in 2021122 and $0 £5,000 of the Covid grant W3s released to the income account, reducing ￿serveS to £70,607 (with the rern3ining £20,000 ol tlie Covid 8rant movin8 to the GenerJl Repairs Fund. In 2023124 the unusual r.osts associated with attempts to repair the boilers, together with installation costs for an extra electrical phase needed to powe¥ the air-conditioning meant that Trustees decided to release £8,439.13 from the General Repairs Fund, rather than depress the reported surplus for2 noTr-recurring item. Thls reduced the total reserve5 to £62,168. At the end of 2024125Trustees decided to transfer an addition31 £10,QOO from net Income to the Gener81 Repairs Fund in è¢)tlcipation of significant redecoratloH costs following the repEa￿￿ent of bDilers. pipework and radiators. additional risk Is dependence on voluntee¥s and stafl for key tasks. The Trust had previously been lucky to find three caretaker5 willing to share the103d and provide coverfor each other during holiday5 and illne55. 51nce then, two caretakers have left, another is sl¢k, and we have ￿lled heavily on a rÉcent hire. We need to find Jddltlonal caretakers with some ur8ency. The work ol findin8 additional voluntee15 to spread the workload of bar and froTht of houscwork is ongoing but this remainschallenginE. Forthe avoidance of doubt, it must be stressed that the bargenerate5 tn05t of the fin3nci2I surplLts (before alloc3tion to reserves) made by WPHT and that surplus would dÉsappe8r if bar and front of house volunteers were replaced with stsff paid even the minimum wa8e. One more risk, apparent slnce the previous year end. wa5 the dependence of the Trust on its landlord, 8ralntree Dlstrlct Council, for repairs to the fabric ol the building includlng the gas btsllers. Norm31 inspection and maintenance has been sufficient until now to keep the fabrit of the building structurally sound. However, failure of both ga5 boilers during the Year 23124 and the discovery that these boiler5 and its key ¥eplaceable parts are no longer manufactured posed a challenge to the normal op&r2tion of the Trust during the winter months. The Trust understands that BDC h35 3 policy of obtaining three quotes for all work undertaken by outside contractors, but thls lengthy process is at odds with the Trust's need to repair thlngs quickly if it is to Maintain Dorm81 service for hirers and other paying customer5. Contractors are now, p05t- balance sheet end. replacing the boilers, pipework and radiators throughout th¢ whole building. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objective5 3nd Activities The principal oblects of With3m Public Hall Trust Limited, as set out in the Constitution, are to provide and maintain the public hall lor the use of the Inhabitants of WStham and the surroLsnding area but espe¢lally for Meetings, lectures and classes with a particular preference lor the perforTning arts, and ii. Other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation. with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants. In addit(on, Wltham Public H311 Trust LiThited had planned the promotion ot several events during the year to 30 June 2025, cover%ng a range of tsstes and actlvities includinE dances, concert5. professional theatre, and comedy nights.

WITHAM PUBLIC HALL TRU MITED REPORTOFTHETRUSTEES FOR THEY ENDED 30JUNE 2025 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE A Reviewof Key Target5 for 2024125 The Trust's main business goal for 2024125 was to persuade Bralntree District Councll to replace the g3s bo11ers, a vital task if our autumn and winter se350n W3S to remain vi3ble. At the time of writing, Braintree Distrlct Council had appolnted contractors to replaie the gas boiler5 as well as the pipework alld radiators throughout the building and the work 15 now I progress. with 3 completion iJ3te towards end September. The maln source5 of Income for Witham Public Hall Trust Lim(ted are usu211y hire fees, rental income from the Citizen5 Advice )nd the surplus from promoted events. which include bar profit5. This year three of those sources of income were down (between 1% and 9%11È2vinB bar sale5 as the stand-out success, rising Il% to £66,579 v £59,691. Hire leos at £58.550 were down 1% vs the previous yezr1£591671. Thls1s mostly explained by havin8 three more self- promoted nr box ollice split ev¢nts versus the previous year, from which we genÈrate no hall hire income. ThÉs would account for approx, £1,500 lower hire fees which. if 3dded back, would have generited a 1% growth In the year. However, these three events did generate £2,000 more ticket income share Iwitham Public Hall Trust Limited share of tot21 ticket les for these eventsl thus representing a netgain in income fokrthese events. It 15 Worth notinE that the number of events overall was reduced by two ver5US the previous Year, owing to cancellations by the promoter. Withatn Publlc Hall Twst Limited is trending towards peak capaclty Sn terms of the tsumber of events it can h3ndle In a year, in the absence if significantly more volunteers. I￿PrOVed audience 2ttendance is one of few ways in which to improve income In the 2bsence of price rises for the bar and hall hire. CA rental fell to£12,050 versus £13.200., reflectlngthe redLEced Iborarea that the CAIS now Ilcenslng from wit1￿rn PublK Hall Trust Limited. The lull year effect wlll be evldent in the 2025126 accounts. Bar sales were £66,579 vs £59,691 an in£rease of Il% reflecting the success Of events 3nd thelr generally better attendee umbers. The Comedy Nights, which are becoming Increasingly popular, are particular￿ good for bar salÉs. Events Income has drifted a Ilttle in 20241245 vs the previous year, £31.019 vs É31.831, with the Real Ale and Gin Fe5tlval sale5 and net income down ca £1,500 and ca £2,500 respectively. However, this does not imply that the event5 themselve5 have been less suwessful than185t year, 51nce the value of revenues depends on the mix ol third-party hires and sell-prtsmoted or box-office split events. The former 8ener2tes ticket commlssions. but the latter generate 2 sha¥e of ticket sale5. whlch are clearly larger per event With respect to expenditure items the13rgest absolute change was the increase in Repairs and Renewals from £30,193 to £34.955. Th15 was heavily impacted by the £13,(JOO charge in 2023124 to keep the b￿lerS running, reduced to just £1,500 in 2024125. The￿ was a myriad of 5m311 repairs in both yeais but with rather more in 2024125 than the previous year. Together wlth grant5 and dorbations, as well as membership fee5, and interest on cash at bank, total income was £174,162 vs £169,669, a gain of 2.6%, surpasslng previous years. Furthemor¢, a marginal increase in tatal expenses (from £150,268 to £160,0351 reduclng our reported 5urplu5 from £19,401 to £14.127. Glven the likely sfie ol the redecor2tion bill in the C￿￿ent year it is dlfflcult to forecast the net income for 2025126 but a modest surplus of £5000-EIO,000 should be possible. Page 4
