TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 (continued)
Chairman's Report 2023-2024
As the new financial year began, work wa5 just finishing on the painting of the outside of the Barbour
Institute. The cupulas were in worse repair than first thought which delayed completion but the
finished work made a huge difference to the appearance of the building. A new sign was ordered bv
Bolesworth and would be installed when it arrived,
Our caretaker had to be signed off slck for the month of May, which meant that users of the building
had to fend for themselves in terms of tables, chairs and equipment. By and large this was successful,
but we were thankful when the caretaker returned to work recovered from his injury.
A number of projects were proposed for the year ahead,. renovating and refurbishing the toilets and
kitchen, and replacing the stage lights. Fundraising from Jumble Sales and TADS helped to raise some
funding towards these projects and it was decided that the work on the toilets should come first. Profit
from the 200 Club was also put towards the project.
Quotes were obtained from the various trades with the help of Bolesworth Estate, whose staff would
project manage the job, but the total cost was much higher than expected so further fund raising was
required. Using the Cheshire West Crowd, with support from 8olesworth, legacies, donations and
fundraising by various societies, plus a successful bid to the UKSPF f und we raised a huge total of
£28,000 + enabling the renovation work to begin late in 2023. As the financial year ended our new
toilets were finally ready with just payment of final accounts to be done. Everyone who uses the
building comments on how bright, clean and modern they now are.
Another large piece of work, undertaken by a Trustee, was to work on the Fire Risk Assessment so that
groups hiring the building would have definitive total occupancy numbers to comply with. That same
Trustee has worked with organisers of large events to ensure that all Fire regulations are met.
At the end of the financial year, our bank accounts showed a healthy balance, with only a small loss
being incurred in income, and only one debtor. The Treasurer has renegotiated the electricity contract
successfully and has also managed to keep the insurance cost to the same as the previous year. He
must be thanked for keeping a rigorous eye on all outgoings and spending considerable amounts of
time on various contracts.
General maintenance around the building has resulted in an attractive set of rooms which are appealing
to our many users who appreciate their appearance and flexibility. Most of the praise for this goes to
our staff who work tO8ether to ensure the smooth running of the Barbour Institute.
At the AGM in July 2023 we were delighted to welcome new Trustees who have volunteered to get
involved in the running of the Barbour Institute. It was a relief to have some new faces at Trustee
meetings. Once they have become established in their roles it is expected they will make a significant
contribution to the running of the building.
Over the next twelve months, the aim is to bring all facilities up to a high standard for the benefit of all
users of the Barbour Institute.
