Achievements and performance
Following the refurbishment of the Village Hall (funded by the
National Lottery}, which ¢ommenced in July 2018 and was completed by
August 2019, Laxton Village Hall has been available to be rented by
residents of the village and surrounding area, subject to the restrictions
thal were put in place as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic during that
period.
Summary of the main
achievements of tho charity
during the year
The financial results for the year to 31 December 2023 r8pres8nted a
period which, for the first time since the refurbishment. was not impacted
by any Coronavirus pandemic restrictions. Income levels have increased
on previous periods. albeit not yel to an appropriate level to cover the
outgoings. Costs have retumed back to 'normal' levels, although
increases in all cost categories have started to be seen as a rèsult of
inflation.
Only minor refurbishment expenditure was incurred in the year to
31 December 2023 (largely decoralion work) as this project has now
been largely completed.
Section E
Financial review
The Chanty does not have a formal raserves policy. Reserves al
31 December 2023 total £17,433 of which £9,539 are in restricted funds
and are in relation to the National Lottery funding. These are therefore
restricted and to be spent on the refurbishment proj8Ct. The balance of
reserves in unrestricted funds (£7,894) and are considered adequate to
Gover overheads I running costs for a number of years.
