Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main achlevemenis of the Charlty durlng Ihe year The Nettteham Communty Hub continues to be an extremely well-used community facility in the village. The recorded footfall has again risen from 90,808 at the end of 2024 to 106,633 at the end of 2025. An average of 292 people per day. The footfall is recorded through the main entran to the library and shared space and does not include those people who access the l)uilding via the rear doors and those who use the facilities not in the shared space and library such as the soft play and studio. The soft play was originalty manned by 7 distrfct. but it was always expected that the Nettleham Community Hub would take responsibility for managing the soft play and this happened in the October of 2025. We took on the employment of the soft play supervisor (Becky Deeley} for 4 days a week with 7 district still providing a supervisor for the weekend and one day of the week. The soft play supervisor was also employed to provide a cleaning Servi for the Nettleham Community Hub. Café stock is now purchased from 7 district and bcK)ker cash and carry. Prices for producls available in the main café are kept the same though other produce are not. We opened a separate bank account specifically for the soft play to keep transactions separate. The soft play, now in its second fvll year resulled in a 100Yo increase In revenue to £26,243. Expens8s increased to £5.148 which is an increase on 2024. The pattem of softplay usage has continued to follow the pattem seen in 2024 and the airconlheater units fitted in 2024 have made the space comfortable in the winter and the summer and the Iruelove donation for carpets on the concrete flocy has again improved the comfort of the softplay users. Private hiring for parties is proving to be quite fruitful with 29 partles over the year. 0[fi rental figures are similar to 2024 at £24,003. The four offices were rented QLrt most of the tim8 with little QPFQrtunity to increas8 revenue next year. The revenue from Ihe studio and shared space was sllghlly down on 2024 due lo the loss of some bcrf)kings at £10,372. Again there is a potential to increase r8venue rf 0kingS can be increased. Artists using the art galleries made £282. The galleries are fre& lo the artists and Ghange monthly and provide our skilful local artisls an outlet to show off their work. The craft shefves simllarfy provide a space for our local crafters and they made £3,596 of which they paid £W5 in shelf bcokings. This was an increase on 2024. WLDC fitted a defibrillator to the outside of the Nettleham Cornmunity Hub in 2024 and has still not been used thankfully though. Young person discos have seen such a drop in attendance that they have beèn withdrawn from the event list for th8 foreseeable future. However, all events continue to be well attended wrth more events baing added to the calendar. TAR March 2012
Section D Achievements and performance Our manager, Louise Budgen has proven to be a perfect fit for Ihe job she took over in 2024. She is local and well liked and very approachable to everyone. She drives the charity forward to meet our objectives, We are maintaining a consistent trustee group of 5. Alister McRobbie resigned due to work commitments and Mick Purvis who has experience in health and safety was brought onboar(l in Seplember 2025. The Netueham ChristTnas Festive market was again a success wlth 60 stalls around the village and dedicated marshals as the event expands. The cost of maintaining the Nettleham Community Hub Is forevèr increasing as energy costs rise. We wanted to fit solar panels, but the landlord Lincoln County Council refused us pernission to apply lo planning to do so. Paula Mellows was again our independent examiner for our 2025 accounts produced by Carf Bocock of You-count accountancy and again confimied that ther8 were no material matters arising. Receipts for 2025 were up on 2024 from £79,071 to £106,934. Taking into consideration Ihe £14,138 cost of assets and investrnent purchases there was a total expenditurelpayments of £89,051 compared lo £89.084 in 2025. As a result. 2024 saw a nel of receipts of -£9.979.59 whi¢h when added to the cash funds of 2023 gave a cash fund for 2024 of £17.165.09. 2025 net of receipts is £17.849.21 which added to the £17,165.09 of 2024 gtves a grand total of £35.014.30 cash fund for 2025. Expenditures are roughly the same but on closer examination wages are more in 2025 as expected and purchases in 2024 are greater. Again, the required amounts received from funding and donations makes our surplus amounts Ic(•k generous. What we do $8e from the accounts is the very significant increase in the nel improvement net of recelpts. from -£9,979.59 in 2024 to £17.849.21 in 2025. Expenditu other than wages are slmllar to 2024. but the expendtture on equipment vms significanly larger in 2024. The Trustees are confident that we can manage expendltufe and maximise reIpts for the 2026 financial year. We are aware of rising energy o)sts and will look again al the possibllity of installing more energy efficient heating and cooling and solar panels. TAR 10 Marth 2012
