Melbury Abbas Cann Village Hall 2024 Financial Report 

_Charity No: 1173145_ 

## **Notes to the Accounts** 

## **Trustee changes during the year** 

The appointment of a new and enlarged management committee during the course of the year has been a significant change to the administration and management of the hall, and is a significant step in ensuring a bright future for the hall.  The following Trustee appointments and retirements happened during the year: 

## **New Committee** 

Mark Archer Hannah Jefferson - Secretary Liam Jefferson Ben Johnson Hannah Kay James Richards - Treasurer Jane Shepherd Jo Stoate Laura Trepess 

## **Retiring Trustees** 

Nic Griffin Ian Merefield 

## **Income** 

Income levels are slightly down on last year.  Hall hire income has increased significantly, with more regular bookings and bolstered by two elections.  Bar income is down considerably on last year, although the change in the management of the bar appears to have been very successful so far.  25% of the bar earnings for the year have come in the final 2 months, June & July, when the new bar team launched more regular village social events which have been well attended.  Because there has been a shift towards a greater proportion of hall hire income the gross profit has actually risen on last year, despite lower income levels. 

## **Expenses** 

On the whole expenses have been similar to last year.  Nevertheless, a sharp increase in the price of oil since the tank was last filled in 2022, has meant this has been much more expensive this year.  Cleaning costs have also risen sharply, but this is partly due to the hall being used more.  A number of small improvements to the hall following the appointment of the new management committee has meant that the repairs and renewals expenses have risen too. 

Despite a small deficit for the year the hall remains liquid with a relatively strong cash position.
