**Pitstone Memorial Hall Registered Charity: 300318** 


## **Trustees Annual Report** 

The trustees of the charity present their report and financial statements for the year ended **September 30[th] 2022** . 

## Reference and Administrative details 

Name: Pitstone Memorial Hall Registered Charity number 300318 Principle Address Pitstone Memorial Hall Vicarage Road Pitstone Buckinghamshire LU7 9EY 

## Objectives and activities 

The provision and maintenance of a Memorial Village Hall (the Hall) and facilities ancillary thereto for the use of the inhabitants of the Parish of Pitstone and the immediate neighbourhood thereof without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions, including use for meetings, lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation including food and beverage facilities. 

It is the intention of the Trustees that the Hall is regarded as the centre of the Community especially after the hiatus caused by the COVID pandemic.  The Trustees are keen to work alongside the Pitstone Parish Council, local sports clubs and groups and provide services and facilities that allow greater interaction between all parts of the local community. 

In planning activities for the year, the Trustees confirm that they have given due regard to the Charity Commission’s legislative and regularity requirements to comply with Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011. 

The Trust financial objective is to maintain the Hall and to improve the facilities that it is able to provide to the Community. 

## Achievements and performance 

After an extended period where the Hall was forced to close due to the pandemic, the Trustees and staff have reopened the facilities to the community, however, insufficient revenue could be generated during the year as users of the Hall regained their confidence for social activities and the results for the year ended 30 September 2022 show a loss of £15.320 for the period. 

In preparation for the reopening of the Hall the Trustees approved major refurbishment and maintenance work but recognised that further work is still required following a number of years of poor investment on the building’s structure and facilities. 

## Financial Review 

## **Summary:** 

Total Income: £ 62,869 Total expenditure £ 78,189 

The Trustees are content that the financial position of the Charity is in line with the Financial Policy and that there are sufficient funds to maintain it as a going concern, 



The results for the year ended 30 September 2022 show a loss of £15,320 for the period.  This is calculated on a cash basis (money actually received less amounts paid in the period) and is subject to an Independent Examination before submission to the Charity Commission.  The previous year had a surplus of £6,053 (mainly due to Covid Grants from the council).  As of 30 September 2022, the Hall had a total cash balance of £15,560; 30 September 2021: £34,184. Regular activity bookings and one-off Event Bookings were slow to resume after Covid restrictions were lifted, especially where a celebration included vulnerable people. 

Included in the calculation is net income from the Hall’s bar of £3,363. Bar income was boosted slightly in July due to its presence at the annual Pitstone Party in the Park event.   The Hall provides bar services directly, primarily to Hall functions, and Cricket match hospitality.  The Hall has continued to run the profit share arrangements with the Ivinghoe & Pitstone United Cricket Club only.  From bar profits arising in the year to 30 September 2022, their profit share was £1,363. 

Pay rises were given to the Bookkeeper, Hall and Bar Managers from 1[st] August. 

In July the Hall provided a Bar service for the community _Party in the Park_ event. Numbers were less than expected and there was an initial outlay of supplies and equipment. Surplus stock was returned to the Suppliers and credit refunds received. 

The monthly electricity payments returned to normal after the Hall reopened for Hirers in October 2021. In the previous year the Hall received a large credit for the months it had been closed. The three-year contract with Eon has been renewed and some discount obtained which will help with the rising costs imposed nationally. 

The Hall insurance has been renewed with a fixed 3-year price £4,035.38 per annum. Changing practice from previous years, 10 monthly payments will be made by Direct Debit starting from 22/11/22. 

Due to difficulties with employing cleaning staff the decision was made to engage a professional cleaning company. Whilst this reduced the Wages costs slightly the £7.739 costs have increased the Maintenance figure. For 2022/2023 we have appointed new cleaners and will no longer use the cleaning company. In addition, repairs and maintenance to the building includes gardening charges of £2,184; CCTV and Fire maintenance/repairs of £2,651. 

Hall Refurbishment costs reflect repairs of £5,934 for the roof and £1,630 for the showers using grants given in the previous financial year. Exterior lighting requirements cost £3,948 and a new oven for the Millennium kitchen cost £1,441. 

Previous Independent Examination of the Hall accounts was carried out free of charge by local accountants _Ashby’s_ . The company was taken over during 20/21 and could not continue with the goodwill arrangement. Another Independent Examiner was found and has been re-engaged for the 2021/2022 IE. 

Due to the continuing difficult conditions for 2021 and 2022 it was decided not to increase Hall Hire charges from 1[st] September to encourage regular Hirers to book for as long as possible. The situation will be reviewed in November 2022.
