thankfully continued good health.
The community’s role in bringing people
together continues to be important in 2025
as we all continue to repair our emotional
and physical well-being as the toll of
difficult times here and abroad impacted
families and communities.
Ensuring continued financial stability
helped by an increased workload from all
the trustees, our booking manager and
wardens. As a result, we have seen
continued stable usage of both the
community hall and the main rental
property ‘Court House’.| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
objectives set|Para 1.41|Our main focus was to continue to engage
with local community groups and wider
organisations to maintain and if possible
increase the usage of our hall and court
house.
This was led by our wardens, and we have
seen a wide range of users including
Quakers, local live music nights, scouts &
brownies, yoga and various other wellbeing

financial position at the end

income from Court House and Curtis house
(both -4% yoy) however our end of year
balance grew by ~£4k to £36.2k. This was
driven by continued tight management of
costs including a £300 saving on water bills
and slightly lower maintenance bills. As a
result, we have managed to maintain
financial stability whilst keeping rental
prices low to encourage lower income
groups to use the facilities (as stated in our
aims).| |Statement explaining the

risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|Income has come back well over the last
four years due to the reengagement with
the community in St Davids itself. Clearly
inflation means expenditures will continue
to increase but we have mitigated several
of these with utility bill fixed rates again.
The upkeep of the court house is always a
risk given the cost required to maintain an
old, listed property
We see far more risk with how many
people struggling and as such low cost
rental facilities such as ours will become a
more important resource for families and
groups.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
