North Ferriby Village Hall Trust Treasurer's Report for AGM on the 2 October 2025 This report covers the period I" April 2024 to 31 March 2025 and references the Financial Statements. We have had a very successful year making a profit of £3.775 and finishing the year with a healthy bank balance. During the year we did successfully address the 4 key actions identified in last year's AGM report. That is: l. Further increase Village Hall usage 2. Maintain income from Events Programme whilst introducing live drama 3. Invest surplus funds to improve Hall facilities. 4. Secure grants and donations to fund further improvements. However, cost inflation and increasing repair and maintenance costs coupled with Hall under use means we had a large deficit of £12,845 on the General Running Account. Despite a small increase in hiring income, we still have a number of unused slots in the Main Hall weekly programme and the Priory Room is often empty. Wage and fuel inflation means costs will increase further and hiring usage continues to be an issue that must be addressed to secure the Village Hall's long term financial future. However, we did run a very successful fund-raising Events programme. The combination of the 100 club, Ferriby Screen. Ferriby Live and Markets programme generated a total profit £19,428. Our volunteers who organise and run these events are amazing and it is their efforts that are keeping the Hall open and available for others to hire. In addition we were successful in our application for a UK Shared Prosperity Fund grant for Digital Infrastructure improvements. The project was completed in November 2024 and the grant of £24,100 funded: Provision of internet, Wifi routers and boosters and electrical power sockets throughout the Hall facilities to create a modern digital meetings and communication infrastructure. Upgrading our smaller meeting room "the green room" to a modern, digitslly enabled meeting and conference room facility. Installation of acoustic panels in the Priory Room.
Provision of wireless microphones and performer headsets to enhance sound for theatrical stage productions. Installation of 4 internal digital information boards. Our Financial Policy requi5 us to maintain cash reserves equivalent to 6 months general running account expenditure. This is equivalent to £22,000 for the next financial year. Our net current assets now stand at £33,500 which leaves a surplus of £11,500 to invest in Hall improvements. Our financial priorities for the next financial year are: l. Significantly increase Village Hall usage 2. Maintain income from Events Programme 3. Invest surplus funds to improve Hall facilities. 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
