Hullbridge. Hockley. Essex. SS56JR The address remains the same. This year we have had the Toilets decorated. The right-side driveway to the Car Park was completely renewed with new footings and cement finish. This was completed in just over a week by a local groundwork company. The carpark was cleared of weeds and treated with a sealant. New window blinds were purchased with printed information of the activities and meals ect. for our members and the community. We have invited a fire brigade officer to visit the Centre to advise us on fire alarms and safety of the Centre when in use by our members. No grants were needed as the Bank account had a healthy balance. All utility bills have increased as the Centre is being used more after Covid restrictions were lifted .Next year’s expenditure will include replacing our dining chairs, and to have our left hand side entrance renovated. We are looking into the cost of a new Bowls mat and Mat winder. Two New Trustees will be appointed due to the ill health of Mr Neil Williams and the retirement of Mrs Christina North. The increased use of the Centre is promising and the name change of our Centre identifies us from the Hullbridge Community Centre in Pooles Lane Hullbridge.: In attendance at this meeting: Christina North Neil Williams Linda Sandford ## **Hullbridge Senior Citizens Welfare Council – Day Centre** ## **Receipts & Payments Year Ending 31[st] March 2023** |**Receipts**|**2023**|**2022**|**Payments**|**2023**|**2022**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Current a/c b/f|3502.28|1682.43|||| |Deposit a/c b/f|23209.06|23206.67|||| |Petty Cash|100.00|100.00|||| |Kitchen Float|10.00|10.00|||| |Fundraising Float|100.00|100.00|||| |Kitchen|17042.93|7400.42|Kitchen Expenses|12336.56|1973.12| |Bowls|1421.50|857.00|DayCentre Exp|17275.63|8487.41| |Line Dancing|1004.00|645.00|||137.00| |Patchwork Pals|458.00|318.00|Waste Disposal|914.03|636.68| |Craft|1042.60|507.00|Gas|1629.13|1168.80| |Bingo|1478.50|937.50|Water|838.40|28.16| |Art|797.00|516.34|Telephone|511.89|388.00| |Darts|285.00|125.75|Electric|867.76|399.44| |2ndTime Around|1563.45|749.90|||| |HPC Hire|385.00|385.00|||| |Hire of Hall|542.00|1100.00|Insurance|980.60|911.93| |Riverside Ladies|506.00|850.08|||| |Donations|1005.22|328.13|||| |Crib|214.50|0.00|||| |Fundraising|4543.50|850.08|Fundraisingexp|569.50|| |Raffle|95.00|185.00|||| |Wave refund||566.21|||| |Gazprom||442.92|||| |Ryan Heating|101.29||||| |Photocopier||36.15|Current a/c bf|901.65|3502.28| |Active Life|837.50||Deposit a/c b/f|23224.14|23209.06| ||||Petty Cash c/f|100.00|100.00| |Bank interest|15.08|2.39|Kitchen Float c/f|10.00|10.00| ||||Fundraising Float|100.00|100.00| ||60259.41|41051.89||60259.29|41051.89| Accounts prepared by C L North, Treasurer 31 / March /2023 Independent ExamIne￿S Report to the Trustees of: Hullbridge Senlor Cltlzen$ Welfare Councll, (Day Centrel I report on the accounts of the Day Centre for the year end 31 March 2023.
