The CIO continues to operate under the License agreement with Southwatsr Parish Council
with two facilities The Ghyll and the Laurie Apted building.
The area in the Ghyll previousty operated by a C￿npanY called Café at the Ghyll started
during the year but unfortunately this was not successful and they dosed in January 2023. It
was agreed by the Trustees that the area previously operated as a Café wrth the eX￿Pl10n
of the kn'tchen area, would become the area vthere the Souihwater Youth Project (SYP)

The Ghyll building continues to present maintenance challenges to the Trustees (partly due
to its age and partially due to lack of investment in the past) wbth improvements and repairs
ongoing during the year. The Trustees are committed to this work and to make il a
welcoming place to visit. One notable item was th8 underground Bowls Green spnnkler
system pipe which stsrted leaking, the Trustees felt it would be best to replace the whole
underground sprinkler pip8 System, rather than repair the ￿'pework wth the possibility of
further failure and leaks.
The heating sy8t8m review at the front was completed with the replacement of the heating
boiler along with the repla￿ment of the main gymnastics hall heating whid) 18 now an air
source heating system. A new control system was finished for the water and heating boi18r.
The café heating to radiators is to be reptaced with the air source heating system. Due to the
cost of the heating system the Parish Council the Freeholder of the building assisted wrth
grants to support the heating improvements.
A further projed for the upgrade for the tr4VO of ￿ toilet systems was started this project was
for a complete redeS￿n of the tai￿lS to all for an accessible t{￿le1 in each of the two toilet
facilrties.
Financial Review
Review of the charfty's Ilnanclal position at tho end of the p•rfod SOFP Parn 1.21
A key financial decision the Trustees had to make was the registration for VAT with the
rolling 12 month income approaching the VAT threshold for registration ￿thIch was going to
be unavoidable. Registration for VAT was mad eady In January 2024.
The impact for VAT registration was that fr(xn the point of registration had to apply VAT
to all the hirers and Licensees.
A small surplus of income over expenditu￿ amounting to Net £59,432 re￿ipts/PaYMents
resulting in an increase in the accumulated balance from £126,385 at the previous year end
