SUMMARY REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31.03.2025
As in previous re￿nt years, the same pattern of use of the halls continues with the Charity providing
facilities to the local community through making rooms available for hire by clubs, organisations and
individuals wishing to arrange a wide range of functions. and by Providing office accommodation for
the Town Council.
Unfortunately the investm8nt accounts held with CCLA saw losses in the year of £2956.
Due to an increase in room bookings and reduced maintenance costs total funds of the charity have
increased to £132,078.
Total income from all soU￿e5 in the 12 months was £99,421 (an increase of 14% to the prior year).
This is wholly attributable to the management activities of obtaining more hirers.
During the year a granvsubsidy for £40,000 was received from Hadleigh Town Council for their use of
the building and to support running costs that the activities of the Charily cannot fulfll Itsèlf.
Overhead expenditure for the 12 months to 3181 Mar¢h 2025 was £93.384, comparéd to £95,090 the
year ending 31 $1 March 2024. Following trends in recent years expenditure remains under tight Gonlrol
and reducing year on year.
El8Ctricily shows a £5.3k increase which was expected due to the ending of the 2018 supply contract
and economic situations.
Water shows a £547 increase due to changing the name on the contract from the Trustee to th8
Charrty incurnng a security bond fee, as well as plumbing issues which took time to resolve.
As indicated in previous reports, the Truslee recognises the value of the complex to the town and this
area of Suffolk and will continue to
ake steps to safeguard its future.
