TRUSTEES REPORT TO CHARITY COMMISSION
2024 - 2025
Th¢ financial yw 20242025 was an unusual year for Village Hall and Walled
Garden charity. for although considerable wogress was made by our voluntKT
supporters in redesigming and refreshing the walled garden. it Wds not N)ssible to
hold any events in the Village Hall itself IKcause major building works (described
lat¢r) took up the entire Although the main cOnStr￿tion activities w¢r¢
funded by grants. the absence of reven￿ earning activities in the hall for the whole
yw. put considerable strain on our financial resources. and our Committee had to
concentratc on rev¢nu¢ earnin& in order to ]My for the hall's ongoing regular costs.
Lambeage Hall (i.¢ The Villag¢ Hall-} w&s originally built over l (K) years ago. and
for the whole of pKriod had only been xc¢ssible using a long flighi of steps.
which made it effectively unusabl¢ for wheelchair users or anyone with mobility
issues. For several y¢ars, the Committee hav¢ been planning a two stor¢y extension at
the front of the exisling hall which included a lift and an internal well lil staircase.
This would ￿M]It direct whe¢1-ch￿r access from street l¢vcl to the lift which th¢n
lowers users (k1￿ to the existing hall Icvel. Altknugh a design had been compl¢ied
and planning Frrniission had been obtsined a few ycars preVio￿lY. it was not until
2023 that the commitmeni for funding was secured from 2 private funders and one
Government backed fund¢r which enabld construction lo commence in February
2024 and continue throughout our financial year. It was a requirement of our main
funder. Good Growth. that all works should be cornplded by 31° March 2025. and
despite encountering several delays fAused principlly by UneX￿ted ground
conditions. our contractor was able lo complet¢ the works within the s￿lfied ttme
period. The Tntste¢s wish to place on record their thanks to all 3 funders, particularly
Good Growth who were the large￿ funder of the 3.
The abs¢nce of rev¢nue earning Cvents in the hall for a whole year. was a major
challenge lo our Treasurer and whole Committ¢¢. but by organising a Kries of fund
raising initiatives. encoura￿n8 private donations, and also receiving supw>rt from
other local organisalions. we were able lo maintsin mod¢si PK>Sitive balances
throughout thc financAaJ ycar.

AUDITORS REPORT FOR THE FINANCIAL PERIOD I" FEBRUARY - 31" JANUARY
2025
I have examined the tinancial records of the Lambeage Hall IcharFty no.
2079051 for the 12 month period ended 31° January 2025 and found the
financial statements for the period to be a true and accurate report of the
charity's financial position.
For the period under report the charity's normal activities were suspended
while the Lambeage Hall premises underwent a major refurbishment. This led
to a significant increase in both income and expenditure. The costs of
refurbishment and related fees dur•ng the year amounted to £310.fJX). This
cost was met by grants and donations of £4CM),tKK) producing a surplus of
slightly in excess of £90,C*JO which will be utilised in meeting on8oin8 building
ost incurred in the followin8 financial period.
