sources of funds
(including any

Para 1.47
Income from the hire of the building
has increased over 2024 reflecting
good usage of the hall.
Shop rental income was received for the
whole year and this enabled the Trustees
to distribute that income amongst the four
local organisations that benefit from a
250/9 share each of the rent.
The Hall is one of the organisations to
receive a 25 % distribution of the shop
rental income which has enabled the Hall
to absorb the higher costs without raising
hire charges to local people and
organisations.
Bulphan Village Hall CIO has agreed to
set aside appropriate reserves for future
planned improvements and emergency
works: these reserves are invested
prudently and whilst they attract a small
amount of interest, they are readily
accessible and are consistent with the
agreed investment risk profile
