Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The Trustees have operated the hall for the whole Year . We are again grateful to our Core Regular Users and especially to our Amateur Dramatics Group and weekly Café whom together generated more than 50% of our Annual income. We continue to be used regularly by 2 local businesses and a Local Wildlife Trust as well as for ad hoc family or Church related events. Our last rent increase was from May 2023 of 12%-15%, but continual increases in operating costs leading to operating deficits in the past 3 years will mean we will need to review these again in the coming year Our operating deficit for this year of some £2300 was primarily a result of £800 on equipment and £900 on building Project fundraising consultancy, but we still have a small underlying operating deficit of some £600. Our General Funds have now for the first time in recent years just dipped below our £10000 reserve target to £9884 , which whilst not critical does mean we need to consider how to improve our operating finances
Notwithstanding the above the Trustees remain convinced that a substantial refurbishment of the Hall is essential to breathe new life into the Building. Accordingly they are working with our Funding Consultants to seek funding from community sources and grant making bodies to enable as a minimum a significant refurbishment of the current Hall structure ( roof, heating , electrics & lighting, some kitchen and some toilet improvement ) as well as understand from that Phase how much appetite our Local community has for a larger scale project to include a significant rear extension to create totally new toilet and storage solutions - We will seek as a minimum funding of some £200,000 or so in addition to our current £43,000 Building Fund held, and consider once this is achieved whether further fundraising for a more substantial rear extension is viable .
The Trustees recognise none of this is possible without our Community of both Core users and potential Users being engaged and keen to participate in some way in this Project in the next 2- 3 years to ensure our Hall remains vibrant , relevant and a quality venue for the next 10-20 years.
The offer of a grant of land to facilitate some form of future rear extension still stands from the adjoining landowner but this needs to be formalised based upon clearly agreed plans for its use
