Lodsworth Local Care Treasurers Report Year Ended 31 December 2024 

Lodsworth Local Care (LLC) was very fortunate to receive financial support from several Lodsworth organisations during the year, namely the Lodsworth Parish Council, Lodsworth Fete Committee and Lodsworth Community Trust. 

Their support has enabled us to continue providing a monthly lunch club for residents in the locality together with the addition of a catered Christmas luncheon and a visit to the Hollist Arms village pub when the village hall was unavailable. 

Our main expenditure was for the monthly luncheons at a net cost of £1651. This included £383 for the catered luncheon in December 2023 not expensed until January 2024. The catered Christmas luncheon was our largest expense at a net cost of £722 but donations from the Fete Committee were specified to cover this cost. The Lodsworth Community Trust donation was used to supplement our contribution for use of the village hall. 

Sundry expenses comprised mobile telephone charges, a thank you for an outgoing member and paint for maintenance of the equipment shed. 

Insurance was provided by Policy Bee at the same cost as last year. 

At the end of the financial period we had a surplus of £84.
