The hall continued to provide a busy venue for children’s parties providing much needed revenue. Whilst the hall was closed we carried out necessary maintenance work including electrical testing and associated works, replacement of the stage rigging and pulleys and load testing of the gantry. Replacement of the fence at the entrance. Temporary repairs to the carpark. We were lucky to secure grant funding to replace the heating system, install solar panels and a battery system and replace the light fittings with LEDs. We required a new fire alarm system.

SPARKWELL PARISH HALL AND PLAYGROUND TRUST REGISTERED CHARITY NO: 254588 Report prepared by: Kathryn Hussey, Treasuer Audited by:
Sparkwell Parish Hall reopened for community use in Summer 2021 following Covid lockdown. We were able to cover overheads during this period due to grant funding obtained. For this year, 64% of our income came from grant funding, where 55% of total expenditure was on capital purchases.
Since reopening, income from hire has been steady. We have welcomed five of our regular community group bookings back to the hall, and sadly lost a four who either disbanded or relocated during covid. We are seeing many repeat bookings for birthday parties. Due to not having paid staff, the decision was made by the Trustees to no longer take wedding bookings after honouring existing bookings.
Covid has restricted capacity for fundraising and community events, and we have also lost our regular Farmer’s Market as a steady source of income. It is hoped that this will be outsourced in the future.
At the end of the financial year, funds toward the Parish Jubilee celebrations had started to be logged in the accounts.
Meetings have taken place with SATCo, and agreement that they will no longer be paying a £3,000 flat rate contribution toward overheads for the pantomime production. Instead, in line with the Charity’s constitution, a unit cost for overheads will be applied for hall usage so that the pantomime does not carry a cost to the SPHPT. Surplus funds from fundraising and ticket sales will be transferred back to the SPHPT account once an agreed float has been retained in the SATCo account.
Trustees agreed to transfer a sum of £7,500 to a savings account which was opened in the 2[nd] Financial quarter for larger projects inc. to source match funding.
This year, we have been successful in completing two major capital expense projects – replacement of the heating system, and installation of solar panels. It is hoped that both of these upgrades will help us in reducing overheads with the predicted steep rise in costs.
Next financial year, we will need to review our hire fees to ensure they are sufficient to cover increased overheads; reduce unnecessary costs such as our communications bill; and focus on promoting ourselves as a desirable venue for
