## Trustees Annual Report War Memorial Hall Trefeglwys It has been another exceedingly positive year. Thanks are extended to our wonderful volunteer Marigolds who give of their time & energy cleaning every week as well as coordinating the monthly Volunteer Saturdays, where there are upwards of 12 wonderful volunteers busy working both inside & outside of the Hall. It would not be what it currently is without them. - ▪Fund raising - Another craft fair was held in October organised by the Marigolds team (all monies raised donated to the Hall), a Strictly Come Dancing in November (£5,000 donation from the organisers plus the bar profits to the Hall) and the Trefeglwys Starlight Spectacular in February (organised jointly with Trefeglwys Show Committee but with the Show Committee generously giving 70% of the profits to the Hall) These events raised in excess of £12000 without including the bar profit. - ▪Achievements - Our largest achievement this accounting year has been securing grant monies £23720 to upgrade the front entrance - new doors, windows, frames & glazing. This has made such a difference maintaining the heat within the building. - ▪Forward planning - repairing & resealing the floor in the main hall, funds already raised & booked in for summer months when venue is quieter. Also National Lottery funding of £30000+ secured for new kitchen, this to be completed August/September. O ngoing work is being carried out on the curtains, windows are all complete, now focus is on repairing the stage curtains (this again led by one of our volunteers). The draught beer system including all pipework, gas installations, taps etc in the bar have been refurbished. Energy generation and savings in the form of LED lights have been installed and all outdoor settings as well as the car park + 300mm roof space insulation laid + 25kwH solar panels erected on the roof and a 10kwH storage battery installed (Asset Collaboration Grant Funding secured). In addition a new storage area has been created for bins which was well constructed, secure and much neater than its predecessor. The Committee &Volunteers are thanked for their unstinting support and an equally successful 2025-26 is hoped for. ## **War Memorial Hall Trefeglwys** ## **Summary of Bank Accounts 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025** **Opening Balance** Current Account. £19588.57 Savings Account. £4465.94 £24054.51 current year previous year **Income** Hall Hire. 9305.50 10296.00 Donations. 5950.00 2010.26 Bar Takings 16867.33 12390.02 Fund Raising 7210.36 2750.72 Grants. 23720.00 7452.00 Bank Interest 213.90 75.64 63267.09 34974.64 Total. £87321.60 **Expenditure** Licences 1014.88 267.16 Utilities. 2398.10 2096.29 Heating Oil. 6854.54 3586.45 Insurance. 2908.16 3455.10 Cleaning 672.98 444.86 Repair/Maint. 450.29 861.31 Bar 5384.86 6352.63 Capital costs/inv 23927.29 7801.24 Sundries 20.00 913.00 Bank Charges 145.11 129.08 43776.21 25907.12 **Closing Balance** .
