## **North Ferriby Village Hall Trust – Trustees Report Annual Accounts for Year End 31[st] March 2023** This report covers the period 1[st] April 2022 to 31[st] March 2023 and references the Financial Statements. We have had a very successful year making a profit of £15,441 and finishing the year with a healthy bank balance. During the year we did successfully address the 3 key actions identified in last year’s report. That is: - Find a new tenant for our rental premises - Increase Village Hall usage - Increase the User charges Even so cost inflation coupled with Hall under use means we still had a deficit of £6,775 on the General Running Account. We have a number of unused slots in the Main Hall weekly programme and the Priory Room is often empty. Usage is an issue that must be addressed to secure the Hall long term financial future. However, we did run a very successful fund raising Events programme. The combination of the Ferriby Screen, Ferriby Live and Markets programme generated a total profit £12,578. The volunteers who organise and run these events did a tremendous job and their efforts give the Hall financial resilience. In addition we ran a very successful crowd funder campaign with matched funding from the Coop Warm Spaces scheme. This raised a total of £10,000 which is approximately 1.5 times our annual general running account deficit. North Ferriby Parish Council were generous in their grants from the “Windfarm” fund and that provided the majority of the monies for an £8,300 external wall repair maintenance project. Significant donations were also received from the Ferriby Drama Society and a number of individuals. These donations have allowed us to create a £2,500 pot that we will spend on stage and stage lighting improvements. We thank all the individuals and organisations who have supported our activities and made all these very generous donations. In total they have allowed the Trustees to make significant investments to improve the Hall. Our Financial Policy requires us to maintain cash reserves equivalent to 6 months general running account expenditure. This is equivalent to £16,000 for the next financial year. I am pleased to report that our net current assets now stand at £22,000 which is £6,000 above this target. Our financial priorities for the next financial year are: 1. Find the next tenant for our rental premises 2. Continue to increase Village Hall usage 3. Maintain the successful Events Programme 4. Secure grants and donations to fund further improvements. The accounts presented have been prepared on a “receipts and payments” basis as recommended by the Charities Commission and have been independently examined by Andrew Chaikin.
