Treasurers Report for 2023
Income this year was £13,518
We received £1,885 in grants, £1000 was Covid Based with £500 from the County Council and the £385 from the Borough Council.
Income from Occasional hirers (£4315) makes up 37% of income with our regular hirers (£7156) making up the other 61%.
Regular hirers, includes, Bridge, WI, Dance, Choir, Gardening Club, Karate, Martial Arts, Yoga, Pilates, Parish Council, Puppy School, Art Appreciation and Diabetes Wellbeing Group.
Occasional hirers, includes, children’s and family parties, baby showers, club AGM, Hungarian Food Market, Church fund raising events.
Expenditure was £29,939
The many updates this year have included the new ‘shed’, a much needed storage facility.
New chairs, new curtains throughout the hall, new kitchen, safety
railings/bannisters installed on stage, electrical repairs and updates, these include extra sockets in hall, all lights changed to LEDs and outside safety lighting installed. Ongoing costs of changing to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation should be coming to an end.
Hall now has a modern feel about it, but further large costs and updates must be considered carefully.
We have been shielded from the huge rise in energy costs by our fixed agreement, this runs out in September and we are likely to see an increase from £161 month, to possibly treble this to up to £500 month.
The agreed increase in hirer’s fees should help to offset the increase in running costs but we must be cautious with any long term plans.
