Financial Review
Review ofthe charity's Para 1.21 2023 was another
solid year financially,
with the
financial position at the end CIO making
an operating
core surplus
well in
ofthe period excess off10,000. However, there were signs of
this levelling offdue to the hall running
at near
capacity while costs continued
their inexorable
rise. Consequently,
in July the trustees decided
to raise charges with effect from the end of2023
โ€”the first rise in hire charges for 12years.
Nevertheless,
even after that rise hire charges
will remain
lower than average for the area.
