ANNUAL REPORT OF.C.HESTERTON COMMUNITY_-PARTNERSHIP (CIO)
2023-2024
The year has finished on a challenging note given the decision of the Parish Council
lour Landlords) who indicated to the Trustees that they intended to review the Lease
Agreement in place since 2018 with the intention of raising increased income from the
CIO {Chesterton Community Partnership). We have yet to receive their proposed
rewrite of the lease agreementwhich could impact upon our proposed budget for24-25
and income we currently receive from Chesterton Playgroup who rent the Village Hall
from the Trustees at an advantageous rental, so as to ensure thatthe Play Group remain
a financiallyviable body servingthe local community.
The budget tor 2023-2024 reflected increased expenditure on electricity prices from a
fixed price of 16.9 p per Kwh to 56.5pfrom mid Septetnber. Triplingthe price has been
financially demanding. An increase in the salary of the Centre Manager underthe new
AP&C approved rates has also incurred additionalexpenditure.
Bookings have remained stable and rental income is runningat74% of ourtotal income,
with the remaindergenerated bythe lettings to the PiayGroup of £ 6572. The range of
hirers ofthe Communitycentre ranges from sporting acttvities ffable Tennis & bowls},
girl guides, yoga . U3A. localchurches. and private hire bya local independent school
forexaminations. The Centre is also used bythe Evergreens (an over 60s group). lunch
club and increasinglyfor Conversation Classes with local immigrants from Hong Kong,
including a number from Oxford itself. Where bookings have fallen is in birthday parties
which is not surprisingasthis is where savings can be made by parents.
Thankfullythe balance carried forward was £ 27.082with ourwirgin MoneyAccount
adding a further£18039 which means thatthe CIO holds resep4e accounts of £ 45121.
However, such reserves could easily be necessary if majorwork is needed on the Village
Hall building. which is the responsibility ofthe CIO. Essential maintenance workon the
Village Hall in the Summerwas carried out by a team of volunteers thus saving
expenditure.
Finallythe independent examiners repon on the accountswas done bystephen Chu

Treasurer-Linda Honey-for her care ofthe CIO accounts.
