## **ADDINGTON VILLAGE HALL (AVH) TREASUER’S REPORT FOR 2022** 

Treasurers report for 2022. 

For 2022 the hall had a full year of regular lettings including some significant new hires (e.g., Addington Bridge Club) which has resulted in a good steady level of income. 

The year saw the first full 12 months of operating using NatWest’s online electronic banking platform called “Bankline”. Following some initial teething problems, the system is now fully embedded and working well. As part of the continued modernizing of AVH’s banking arrangements excess funds (£20,000) were transferred to two interest bearing accounts opened specifically for the purpose of getting a return. During the year a total of £77.29 was earned in bank interest. 

During the year AVH successfully bid for and obtained a National Lottery Grant (£1,946) to assist the Parish Council with village celebrations of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee anniversary. The monies were used to provide facilities and entertainment including a Barn Dance. 

Following several discussions, it was decided that AVH should explore the opportunity provided via TMBC to install solar panels on the hall’s roof. Following approval of a business case and pledged financial support from the Parish Council a commitment was made to go ahead using some of AVH’s accumulated reserves. The actual installation of the solar panels and batteries occurred in March 2023 with a contribution of £7,200 from the Parish Council. 

As in previous years there were numerous capital improvements made to the building fabric and internal furnishing to improve the appeal and enjoyment of the hall (e.g., new concrete paths and railings, windows, baby changing unit, electric hand dryers and various electrical upgrades). Grant funding of £6,380 was received from KCC to assist with external building works and surrounds. 

The statement of Income and Expenditure and Petty Cash usage for the year was signed by our auditor on 19[th] May, copies of these are attached to this report, with a closing balance of £31,468.46 and £54.32 respectively.
