WEST ROW VILLAGE HALL FOUNDATION
REGISTERED CHARTIY NUMBER 1165959 ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2023
PERIOD: 1[st] JANUARY 2023 TO 31[ST] DECEMBER 2023
Objectives & Activities
West Row Village Hall Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The objectives of this charity are set out in the constitution as follows:
To further or benefit the residents of West Row and the surrounding areas, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to provide facilities, in the interests of social welfare, for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.
Achievements and Performance
The main work of the charity involves the general management & maintenance of our facilities: Village hall, playing fields, football pavilion, tennis court, children’s play park, defibrillator & parking areas including 4 EV charge points. Our facilities are kept to a high standard and continue to be well used for community events & private functions.
Main income for the hall continues to come from private bookings for family celebrations such as birthday parties, anniversaries, and weddings as well as regular exercise, martial arts and dance classes. Hire from hall bookings were £13,896. There were no fundraising events in the year and no donations received.
Grant funding totalling £2,000 split equally between West Suffolk County Council & West Suffolk Council will be put towards the cost of moveable goal posts for local children and young adults to use.
Other improvements undertaken in the year included the completion of a project started in 2022 to replace the wooden gravel boards around each section of apparatus in the play park. We also refurbished the tub style chairs in the sun lounge replacing the faux leather with vibrant & patterned fabrics which have enhanced the look of the room greatly.
Total income for the year was £18,118.30 down on the previous year. This was to be expected as there were no fundraising opportunities. A total expenditure of £21,543.23 resulted in a net expenditure over income for the year of £3,424.93.
