FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1[st] JANUARY 2021 TO 31[st] DECEMBER 2021
2021 was another strange year for us. The centre couldn’t re-open for the first few months of the year, due to the continuing Covid lockdown restrictions and, of course, it is impossible to compare the accounts against the previous year, 2020, for the same reason.
Let me just go through the accounts with you.
If we look at the accounts under INCOME you will see that some our hirers started to come back and we made £3,460 for hiring out the centre for what remained of the year.
Games and Entertainment speak for themselves as does Tea and Coffee.
Donations – whilst the centre was closed, Horst very kindly carried on doing his Tai Chi classes on the field and several members made donations to the centre – this raised £478 – so a big thank you to Horst and the donees. The final £50 was received from Steven’s funfair for the use of our water.
Outing & Social Functions regrettably, our members were only able to enjoy two lunches out this year, one at The Star, Norman’s Bay and the other at The Green Man, Ringmer.
They say that every cloud has a silver lining and, in this respect, Wealden District Council had various Coronavirus grants available to us, which we applied for, and received, totalling £12,407.43. Part of this was put towards the cost of the new flooring. There was also a community grant from the Uckfield Town Council that we were eligible for, for which we received £1000.00 – this was put towards the cost of the replacement kitchen window.
In addition, we were also eligible for a Start Up Grant of £8000.00 from Wealden District Council.
As our cleaner was put on furlough, we were able to claim back part of her salary through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, so I have made a separate entry for that, as is required.
EXPENDITURE
Repairs and labour – most of this figure, namely £700 relates to labour for work carried out on replacing electrical equipment.
Equipment & Replacements - There were 3 large payments in 2021 – the first being £6,746.80 which was the cost of our new flooring in the centre, I believe it was money well spent and allows us to use the hall for other activities, such as dancing, which we were unable to do when there was carpet on the floor. £2,640.00 was the cost of replacing a new double glazed window in the kitchen as the previous window surround was rotting and finally £1,064.08 which was the cost of the necessary electrical equipment that was installed.
I mentioned the Job Retention Scheme earlier, therefore I have separated the Cleaning from Cleaner’s Wages as is required.
The following utility bills are straightforward. The only thing worth mentioning is the Sewage & Water . I am in dispute with Castle Water at the moment and I believe the figure of £1,777 shown is incorrect – the dispute is ongoing.
Outings & Social Functions – as mentioned earlier, club members were able to enjoy a couple of lunch trips out using Lynns Coaches however, we also had a jolly good Christmas meal here cooked by Jenny and Maureen, our own cooks.
We have ended the year with a surplus of £7,222 and carry forward a combined figure for the Executive, House and Social accounts of £38,974.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking June for doing the accounts for the House & Social Committee and also Hazel Wells for examining the accounts.
I will be pleased to answer any questions you may have regarding the accounts and I now submit them to you for your approval.
