Management
Since our openingwe have employed an outstanding manager in Kari Davies who is
supported by a small team of volunteers which include ourTrustees.
Kari manages the bookings and arranges the volunteer rota aswell as maintain the
building and ensuring the cleanliness of the facility.
We have a very small group of Trustees and other volunteers who give of theirtime to
carry out opening and closing duties. Throughout the week and at weekend there is a
need to open up for bookings and to secure the buildingfollowing late evening events
and weekend parties. After each closure these volunteers also ensure that the building
is f it for purpose for the next booking. Toilets are inspected and floors are checked for
cleanliness. Not all those who enter the building treat the facility Wlth the respect it
deserves. Despite thiswe have a reputation for delivering a clean and bright space for
our communityto use. We are always seeking newvolunteers.

Finance and budgets (see separate report)
Although we took our first bookings in September 2023 this report focuses on the first
fullfinancialyear of operations form 1°'April 2024 to 31°, March 2025
Our initial business plan showed a budget def icit over the first two years of operation.
This was driven by the experiences of other similarfacilities with whom we discussed
budgets and management issues prior to opening. We are pleased to report that our
f irst full financial year of operation produced a f inancial surplus which can be seen in
this year's financial report.
This surplus in year one was only made possible bythe grant provided by Magor and
Undy Town Council to cover the cost of employing a manager. The Trustees had been
reluctant to take on a fulltime manager in the early days but encouraged by Councillor
Frances Taylor we now recognise that move as having been essentialtothe success of
the Hub.
We were granted the firsttwo ye8rs oftenancy lease free by MCC and therefore was not
payable in the financial year being reported. However lookingforward to 2025126 the
lease valued at £10,300 p.a it is an expense which is currently notfunded which
demonstrates that our hire charge income just covers our current operating costs.
Ourfirst responsibilitywas to worktoward making MUCH a financiallyviable operation
whilst tryingto ensure a broad range of activities. The information below demonstrates
the progress made to date in the wide range of activities on offer.
