Review of the Year
I am pleased to report that the hall continues to operate smoothly and efficiently. Our occupancy rates are consistently high, and feedback from our commercial hirers and regular users in the community is invariably complimentary. As expected, the high capital outlay that pushed us into the red last year was exceptional, and this year our income has exceeded expenditure by £ 6,502. I would like to thank my fellow trustees, our treasurer, hall manager and cleaner for their sterling efforts as well as the local community for its ongoing support.
Approved by the Trustees on 24th November 2025
Mr Michael Batsch, Chairman

Basis of independent examiner's report
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

-
