Annual Re ort of Chesterton Communi Partnershi cio Year 2022-2023 This year has seen an improvement in our income as regular users and private hire funds re￿ived, are retuming to pre-pandernrc figures. confiden￿ in renting the Community Centre has retumed and hire for parties and events has followed, increasing the income by £4326 against last year's figures. Our regular users are again holding their classes and meetings. providing sporting and children's activities, film nights, lunch clubs, local church meelings, U3A, and a local independent school uses the hall for its exams and some after school activities. The hall was used as a polling station during the election. We have lost some of the regular users, but have replaced them where we can. The Community Centre was the focus of the village lebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Wrth greater use has come increased expenditure. General maintenance was mostly regular planned servicing, wth just the odd repair needed. We were lucky enough to have fixed prices for gas and electricty prtor to the horrendous increases in utility bills during the last year, and were therefore sheltered from the spikes in prices. Unfortunately, these fixed contracts will expire next year and we will have to factor this in to the planned budget. The Cerrtre Manager's job was reevaluated during the year, to take into account the extra responsibilities she has undertaken, together with an increase in the hours she works, and an increase in the LorAI ALrthority pay scales. This meant that the salaries costs increased by £3000 The Village Hall continues to be used solely by Chesterton Village Playgroup, and a small increase in their rental was agreed in September proving £6210 for the year. They still r￿1ve a very advantsgeous rate per hour. and only pay for the hours that they are in the building. The CIO has tried to help them remain a financially viable body that serves the l¢)cal communty, but we must make sure that sufficient funds are raised to pay for future Maintenan￿ of an old building. This year £3556 was spent on new flooring in the entran￿. toilets, and kitchen. Work on the wooden floor in the main hall vms undertaken by volunt*rs. saving the CIO additional expenditure. We a￿ very grateful to them for their hard WOTk. We finished the year with £39,751 funds in hand to carry forward, mindful that large repair bills for the Village Hall buikling in the future must be provided for. The CIO accounts for the year have been independenty audited by Mr Stephen Chu wÈth no concems noted.
