Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
This was the first full year following COVID-19 in which no government support was received to help the business recovery. The recovery continued to be a slow process and the return of some previous regular users was short-lived or non-existent. With significant increase in routine running costs (some energy and staff costs up by over 100%) it was deemed necessary to increase most hire rates by around 25% from 1 Oct 23 to protect the charity’s financial security.
Other major expenses in the year related to the renovation of all the flat roofing on the premises, the replacement of failed guttering and the removal of a large old lime tree close to the building which was found to have become unsafe. The total cost of these jobs, at over £13,000, was the main cause of the 2023 excess of expenditure over income. The work was considered essential to ensuring that the charity could continue to meet its key objectives in the medium to long-term future.
Plans to renovate the car park and expand the capacity also moved ahead. Planning permission was obtained and that has been followed by gaining tenders for the work. The first stages of this project are currently scheduled to be complete by mid-2024.
The Hallmaster online booking system was further developed. Online booking is now available to hirers, and invoices are produced from the system. It is also planned to introduce remote control of the hall’s heating system in 2024.
New policies and procedures were introduced covering Health & Safety, Fire Safety and Employment, while other key policies were routinely reviewed and further updated, notably the Financial and Hiring policies. Changes designed to make the hall more available for use by the whole community at popular times, particularly weekends, have proved successful, and resulted in a wider range of ad hoc events and hirers.
The CIO has remained financially sound throughout the past year, and income and expenditure continues to be monitored quarterly to manage any variations from forecasts.

Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the
charity’s policy on reserves
The charity’s policy on reserves is outlined in the hall’s Financial Policy. All funds are currently held in one Current Bank Account and consideration will only be given to investing some proportion of those funds in long-term investments when planned expenditure and interest rate availability provide a worthwhile incentive.
Details of any funds materially in deficit
Further financial review details (Optional information)
You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:
-
the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
-
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
-
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
The charity’s income in 2023 came almost totally from hall hirings and renting out car parking spaces. One small grant (£500) was received from Headbourne Worthy Parish Council to off-set the cost of planned car park improvements. Applications for grant support to other local authorities were not successful.
-
Improvements to car and bicycle parking facilities are a significant contributor to the key objects of the charity. The Worthy villages are now far more widespread than when the hall was built, with a greatly increased population. As a result, it is no longer practical for many of the parishioners to walk to the hall, and parking for means of transport is an essential requirement for many.
-
Other expenditure either goes towards the running expenses of the CIO and the charity’s business or towards the maintenance and upkeep of the premises. All these are essential support for the charity’s key objectives. The new administrative system, with on-line banking, hall booking and invoicing, has greatly increased efficiency, and routine tasks are now completed quickly, easily and in a more timely manner.
