## **Badshot Lea Village Hall Annual Report 2023-2024** 

## **Trustees** : 

Mr. John Boas 

Mr. Kevin Taylor 

Mr. Cliff Watts Mr. Pat Brogan 

Names of persons (or body) entitled to appoint Trustee: Residents of village of Badshot Lea in the county of Surrey. 

## **Objects of Charity** : 

To provide and maintain the premises known as `The Kiln, Badshot Lea Village Hall` as a venue for hire and use by the community. 

## **Advisors:** 

Bank: NatWest Bank Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7NP Accountant: Jones & Co, 41 Queens Road, Farnborough, Hampshire, GU14 6JP 

## **Charities Activities and Achievements during the year in relation to its objectives:** 

The Trustees continue to hire the village hall and its grounds to clubs, societies and local organisations. Many hirers are long standing and all serve the local community. We are constantly seeking new hirers to make the most of the hall and the outside areas of the site. 

## **Work Planned for 2024-2025** 

The income from our hirers has continued to struggled back to it pre covid level. The huge increase in our energy costs, although now passed its peak, has also had a major effect on our finances. This has forced us to reduce planned work to a minimum and concentrate on essential maintenance work and improvements to the energy efficiency of the building. 

## **Work Planned for 2023- 2024** 

There is no planned work as such owing to the continued reduction in income and the high level of necessary expenditure. 

## **Work completed 2023-2024** 

Ongoing replacement of rotting floorboards on top floor. Extensive cut back of trees along sections of the northern and eastern boundaries. 

## **Grants and Donations** 

We received no grants or donations during 2023-2024.
