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

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-

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.

FUTURE PLANS
Key Targets for 2025126
To 313rge extent 2025, from an operntinE pe￿peCtIVe, will be like 2C124, with third party hire5 driving bar 531es and hall hire.
This year BDC has agreed to replace the gas boilers and Snsisted on replacing all the radiators and pipework at the same
time. Inevitab5y there wlll be some redecoration requlred. especially in the Citizens Advice part of the hall, In whlch the
upstalrs rooms had already been damaged by water ingre55. f4anagingthis redecoratlon while minimi2ine the impact on our
ability to hire out the rooms will be an Interesting ￿gist[Cal challenge 35 well as representing a slgnificant financial
undert3king. Other capitsl projects being explored 8re:
l The potential to reorgani5e the front of house area (foyer, offlces 2nd toilets) to improve the look and functionality,
possibly increasing the number DI ladles tollets available.
2 The potential to redecorate the main hall
3 New sound equipment now that storage has be¢orne available after the Citizen's Advitt has vacated one of Its rootr)Is.
41 Up8rodlng the kitchen. especially the Ilooi covering.
However. likely these projects wlll have to await the completion ol the redecoration upstairs and the appropriate fuTrdiD8
in place.
In terms of succession planning, we have sta¥ted looklng for part-time or potent1311y full-tlme stsff that can manage some
of the tasks £￿rIent1Y tnanaged by the caretakers and Hall Manager, perhaps transitioning to assume 315 of those tssks over
tlme.
Capital projects aside we would antt(ipate a surplu5 01 £SOOC>- 10.000 ill the year to end June 2026.
