Sywell Village Hall Charity 295196 Annual Report Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the year ending 31 March was a very quiet one for our village hall, with it remaining closed for much of the time. On the occasions on which we were able to open very few of our normal activities resumed, for example the Art classes. However, many groups did not restart for example the Air Scouts. We look forward to welcoming back both old and new customers. We were extremely grateful to our local authority, Wellingborough Borough Council, for the grants which we received. As a result of these grants we were able to put in place the measures required to make the hall a ‘Covid secure’ establishment. We therefore remain in a fairly healthy position financially. It would have been a very different scenario without the grants. ## **Sywell Village Hall Management Committee Receipts and Payments account for the year 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 CHARITY NUMBER 295196** |**CHARITY NUMBER 295196**|| |---|---| |**RECEIPTS**

As the hall has been forced to close for most of this financial year due to Covid-19 then obviously the rental income is considerably lower than for the previous year 2. The income for subscriptions and advertising has given a profit over the printing costs for the year even though the advertising revenue includes £350 recently received for next year’s advertising. 3. We have been fortunate in qualifying for some generous Covid-19 grants during our enforced closure which have helped the hall immensely. 4. Utilities: Whilst Gas and Water charges are lower this year due to closure, Electricity is about the same but this is mainly due to increased unit prices and the fact that it is basically only lighting that has not been used. |5.|Maintenance: the following have been|Maintenance: the following have been|carried out during this year.| |---|---|---|---| ||Painting of interior & exterior||£215| ||Carpet Cleaning|£140|| ||Electrical inspection & PAT test cert||£212| ||Gutters cleaned|£150|| ||Heating Maintenance & repairs||£390| 6.
