Wixford Village Hall Treasurer’s Report
For the Year January 2021 - December 2021
The village hall which was closed in 2020 as a result of the COVID pandemic and remained closed throughout 2021. The hall has therefore not been available for hire or use. There has however been one exception. At the end of the year the hall has been used to hold two socially distance Wixford Parish Council meetings following the decision to not allow the use of Video conferences for such meetings.
The 50/50 Club was run again during the year resulting in a record number of entries (126). A tea towel showing the layout of Wixford as a tube map was also produced and sold to raise funds.
Work continued on the planning for the new village hall with a local authority planning application made and approved in June 2021. Following this, we worked with the architect to carry out the detailed design and costing of the new hall. An invitation to tender was prepared to ascertain what the costs of the new hall would be. The deadline for the return of tenders is in February 2022.
The work to raise funds for the new hall continued throughout 2021. Applications were made successfully for a number of grants during the year including the following:
-
Warwick County Council Councillors Grant
-
Warwickshire Masonic Lodge Charitable Association
-
Warwickshire County Council Green Shoots Grant
In addition, a grant of £2,000 was provided by Wixford Parish Council.
At the end of the year an application was made for the Warwickshire Social Impact grant.
We opened the year with a total opening bank balance reserve of £42,954. There was no income from hall bookings but £506 was raised through tea towel sales and £2,183 from the 50/50 Club. There were donations from various sources totalling £1,584 and we also received several COVID business grants during the year to the value of £19,051. Grant payments of £23,500 were also made to us.
The total funds pledged or received at the end of 2021 was £120,073.
Many of the normal hall expenses were incurred as well as the payment of 50/50 prizes. The first real expenditure on the new hall was incurred which included architect and bat survey payments. The expenditure for the year on the new hall project was £2,614.
The year ended with a total closing bank balance reserve of £84,526.
The statement of accounts for 2021 is set out below.
