|Summary ofthe main<br>achievements<br>ofthe charity<br>during the year||||||Following the refurbishment<br>ofthe Village<br>Hall (funded<br>by the<br>National<br>Lottery), which commenced<br>in July 2018and was completed<br>by<br>August 2019, Laxton Village Hall has been available to be rented<br>by<br>residents ofthe village and surrounding<br>area, subject to the restrictions|||
|||||||that were put in place as a result ofthe Coronavirus<br>pandemic.|||
|||||||The financial<br>results for the year to 31 December 2022 continued<br>to|||
|||||||some extent to be impacted<br>by the Coronavirus<br>pandemic<br>restrictions,|||
|||||||with the Village<br>Hall unable to be opened for long periods oftime in|||
|||||||previous<br>years, along with other periods where residents<br>and local|||
|||||||groups were not keen to return to using the facilities with income levels|||
|||||||therefore<br>still reduced<br>from pre-pandemic<br>/ expected levels. Costs have|||
|||||||returned<br>back to 'normal'<br>levels, although<br>increases<br>in all cost categories|||
|||||||have started to be seen as a result of inflation.|||
|||||||Only minor refurbishment<br>expenditure<br>was incurred<br>in the year to|||
|||||||31 December 2022 (screens/partitions<br>for hall &some external|||
|||||||brickwork) as this project has now been largely completed.|||
|||||||The Charity does not have a formal reserves<br>policy. Reserves at|||
|Brief statement|||ofthe|||31 December 2022 total Et8,905 of which 810,544 are in restricted|funds||
|charity's|policy on reserves|||||and are in relation to the National<br>Lottery funding. These are therefore|||
|||||||restricted<br>and to be spent on the refurbishment<br>project. The balance|of||
|||||||reserves<br>in unrestricted<br>funds (E8,361)and are considered<br>adequate||to|
|||||||cover overheads<br>/ running<br>costs for a number<br>ofyears.|||
