## **Trustees’ Report The Newport Memorial Hall (Neuadd Goffa, Trefdraeth) for the year ended 31 December 2025**
## **Financial**
Overall, the Hall made a surplus of £4,766 which was helped by a 22% increase in Hall hire revenue, which increased to £21,317.
Overhead expenses were down by £3,826 with savings vs previous year in the following areas: Repairs, £2,863; H&L, £984; Office expenses, £2,124.
Insurance was up by £1,204 due to an increased premium and the timing of payments when a new monthly direct debit was started in the latter part of last year.
## **Activities**
The Hall has been supported by 63 separate persons and organisations who have paid to hire the various rooms in the Hall. The total chargeable hours were 2,123 which approximates to 40 hours per week.
In addition to the chargeable hires there have been Free of Charge hires to Community groups. These events include Mayor’s disco and grotto, Panto rehearsal, Library disco, Remembrance service.
The Hall also put on its own events to support the community, and for Hall fundraising. These include Caffi Cwtch, Soup and Movie, Christmas Fayre. All these events were strongly supported by the Hall’s Volunteers and have been well-received by those attending.
## **Volunteers**
Volunteers are a crucial part of the Hall’s ongoing success, and the Trustees are putting greater effort into supporting existing volunteers and recruiting new volunteers and putting a system together to enhance the overall volunteer experience.
Records are now kept for Volunteer hours at Hall events. This shows 30 individual volunteers contributed 562 hours during the year. Further volunteer time was provided for garden and indoor maintenance, and for buying provisions for events.
A volunteer ‘Thank You’ event was planned for September but had to be rearranged for January. This event underlined the Committee’s appreciation of the volunteers’ contributions.
## **Projects/ Grants**
Two grants were successfully applied for which have helped the Hall to support the community with a Warm Space during the winter. In addition some of the funds were used to refurbish the Committee room.
