Summary

The charity continues to uphold its founding principle to provide a facility, particularly for the local community without any discrimination.

Yarcombe Jubilee Hall has a Premises Licence which has been adhered to and Temporary Events Notice Licenses have been applied for when required. It is registered with the local authority for a Small Society Lottery.

The Hall is licensed by the PPL PRS (Performing Rights Society and Phonographic Performance Limited) to enable the right to perform music and play recorded music in public.

In addition the Hall has a MPLC (Motion Picture Licence Company) Umbrella Licence to enable films to be shown, subject to some restrictions.

Devon Communities Together membership has been renewed as their advice and resources are valued.

Thanks to the Vice-Chair the Hall secured free Wi-Fi from Gigaclear for another twelve months.

The hall is well used for a variety of activities which include Community Lunches, Parish Council Meetings, Pilates classes, Short Mat Bowls, Tuesday Club meetings, and Yarcombe and District Young Farmers Club activities, computer training, social events, public and private family events.

After repeated failed attempts to form a handbell group the decision to sell them was taken.

The Committee have held fundraising events which also provide a community social activity, these included a Wine & Wisdom quiz, Big Breakfast, Christmas Bingo and Monthly Village Markets. The market provides an opportunity to purchase local produce and enjoy refreshments in a social environment. These activities are intended to improve the conditions of life within the community alongside raising valuable funds for the hall.

A busy twelve months, Delve Electrical completed the improvements to the exterior lights, digital controls installed on the heating system and following a successful grant application from the National Lottery Community Fund we are in the process of creating an outdoor community space. A great achievement as this has been a request from parish residents for many years.

The cost of maintaining the Hall continues to increase. Hall hire charges increased in June to reflect this. The Hall is indebted to all the volunteers who give their valuable time and skills to keep the costs to an achievable amount, the hall had an exterior make over thanks to some talented committee members who replaced the cracked and failing render. And once this was dry and before the autumn wet weather arrived the exterior was painted by committee members with assistance from the members of Yarcombe & District Young Farmers Club.

We have continued to carry out minor repairs and improvements as and when required

Financial Overview

The Yarcombe Jubilee Hall Management Committee are committed to prudent management of The Yarcombe Jubilee Hall to support financial sustainability and are committed to ensuring the hall remains a popular and viable amenity.

The financial objective is to ensure that sufficient funds are generated from hall hire, fundraising events, grants, donations and other sources to operate and maintain the Yarcombe Jubilee Hall to continue to provide a facility valued by the local community.

The Charity holds no funds as custodian trustee on behalf of others.

The Charity has adopted a Finance policy with guidelines and procedures to ensure transparency, accountability and legal compliance. All committee members are aware they are responsible for all the expenditure of charitable funds and have to account for how the charity funds have been applied. Accounts are prepared on a receipts and payments basis, with all payments authorised by two individuals. Accounts are independently audited by an appropriate individual approved by the Management Committee.

The Charity have set a reserves policy which requires reserves to be maintained at a level which ensures that Yarcombe Jubilee Hall Management Committee could continue to provide a village hall during a period of unforeseen difficulty. The aim is to maintain a cash reserve of a minimum of 6 months and up to 2 years operating costs.

Accounts for period 01.04.2025 – 31.03.2026

Summary

Monetary Assets 2026 2025 Lloyds Current Account £2,981.61 £800.08 Lloyds Deposit Account £7,090.80 £25,630.17 Lloyds 30 Day Notice Account £10,137.24 Lloyds 90 Day Notice Account £10,192.78 TOTAL £30,402.43 £26,430.25

At the end of the year, there was a balance of £1,184.77 in the current account that represents unspent grant funding, which is allocated for the outdoor community space.

At the financial year-end there were debtors outstanding totalling £117.50, which were received in full. There were no creditors outstanding at the year end.

The accounts show a surplus having been delivered during the year of £3,972.18.

Overall income has seen a large increase year-on-year; this is largely down to ad hoc items of income, including the sale of the handbells (£7,500.00) and the grant received for the outdoor community space (£19,713.00). The £7,500 handbell sale and additional £6,000.00 received in grant funding comprise the majority of the income movement compared to the previous year. (without these two exceptional incomes there would have been a deficit) Fundraising decreased with one less activity and less support mainly due to the weather. The 100 Club again performed very well this year, with a subscription of 96.

Expenditure is also up on the previous year, in addition to the grant funded outdoor community space, expenditure includes improvements to the exterior lights, the cost of materials for the exterior rendering and decorating, a replacement hot water drinks boiler, a replacement hand dryer and digital controls with a thermostat installed on the heating system, to improve efficiency.

The committee are aware the kitchen needs improvements which will include some considerable expense. Hopefully the next project to be planned and realised.

Minor repairs and improvements will continue as and when required.

Yarcombe Jubilee Hall Audited Annual Accounts - Year Ended 31.03.26

- Commentary on the 2025 26 Accounts

The 2026 accounts have been a strong showing for the Hall, with a surplus having been delivered during the year of £3,972.18 (2025: £3,968.04).

Income

Overall income has seen a large increase year-on-year (YoY); this is largely down to ad hoc items of income,

~£6,000 higher than the grant received in the previous year. The £7,500 handbell sale and additional ~£6,000 of grant income comprise the majority of the income movement compared to the previous year. The 100 Club also performed very well this year with gross income totalling £1,920 (2025: £1,720). There is a breakdown of the net profit generated from the 100 Club in Appendix 1 below. It should be noted that the previous year’s net profit appears overstated as it only includes 10 month’s worth of prizes rather than the 12 that are included this year. It is likely that last year, the prizes for two months were taken out of the cash received by subscribers to the 100 Club and this was not adjusted for when the accounts were prepared. There was a small increase in hire income during the current year, which was offset by a small decrease in the market income received. The former could be attributed to the increase in hire rates that was implemented from Fundraising income is down this year, which is down to an appreciable fall in the profit generated by this year’s Big Breakfast, with warm weather on the day leading to a reduction in attendance when compared to the previous year. There was no jumble sale during the current year, which brought in a total of £760.15 during 2025. There is a breakdown of the fundraising profit by event in Appendix 1. The policy of transferring a portion of the Hall reserves to fixed notice accounts with higher interest rates has been beneficial, with interest income increasing to £440.65 this year (2025: £262.09) despite a general fall in the bank This year the Hall received £19,713.00 in grant money from The National Lottery Community Fund to fund the creation of a community space on the land to the rear of the Hall. The resurfacing and fencing work was complete by February ‘26, with the only outstanding part of the project being a pair of benches to be installed. These were paid for after the year end and will hopefully be delivered during May. At the year end, there was a balance of £1,184.77 in our current account that represented unspent grant funding, which is not to be spent on any general running costs for the Hall. Expenditure is also up on the previous year, with a large chunk of this corresponding to the work to create the community space that was funded by the grant detailed above, along with some additional improvement

Fundraising income is down this year, which is down to an appreciable fall in the profit generated by this year’s Big Breakfast, with warm weather on the day leading to a reduction in attendance when compared to the previous year. There was no jumble sale during the current year, which brought in a total of £760.15 during 2025. There is a breakdown of the fundraising profit by event in Appendix 1.

The policy of transferring a portion of the Hall reserves to fixed notice accounts with higher interest rates has been beneficial, with interest income increasing to £440.65 this year (2025: £262.09) despite a general fall in the bank base rate from last year. This year the Hall received £19,713.00 in grant money from The National Lottery Community Fund to fund the creation of a community space on the land to the rear of the Hall. The resurfacing and fencing work was complete by February ‘26, with the only outstanding part of the project being a pair of benches to be installed. These were paid for after the year end and will hopefully be delivered during May.

At the year end, there was a balance of £1,184.77 in our current account that represented unspent grant funding, which is not to be spent on any general running costs for the Hall.

Expenditure

Expenditure is also up on the previous year, with a large chunk of this corresponding to the work to create the community space that was funded by the grant detailed above, along with some additional improvement expenditure. A breakdown of these items is included in Appendix 3.

The largest area of expenditure is Improvements, with £22,086.23 of this figure relating to the community space work - £18,528.23 of this was grant funded, with the £3,282 balance for kerb stones being paid for from Hall funds.

Fundraising expenditure is shown separately to the income and a breakdown of net profit by fundraising activity is included in Appendix 1.

including the sale of the handbells (£7,500) and the grant received for the community space (£19,713), which was ~£6,000 higher than the grant received in the previous year. The £7,500 handbell sale and additional ~£6,000 of grant income comprise the majority of the income movement compared to the previous year. The 100 Club also performed very well this year with gross income totalling £1,920 (2025: £1,720). There is a breakdown of the net profit generated from the 100 Club in Appendix 1 below. It should be noted that the previous year’s net profit appears overstated as it only includes 10 month’s worth of prizes rather than the 12 that are included this year. It is likely that last year, the prizes for two months were taken out of the cash received by subscribers to the 100 Club and this was not adjusted for when the accounts were prepared.

There was a small increase in hire income during the current year, which was offset by a small decrease in the market income received. The former could be attributed to the increase in hire rates that was implemented from 1st June ‘25.

Transfers

The Treasurer will transfer cash between the current and deposit accounts as required - the aim is generally to maintain a working balance of approximately £1,000 in the current account as working capital, with the balance being held in the deposit account. During the year there have been transfers of £11,000 out of the current account and £9,650 into the current account.

Debtors and Creditors At the year end there were debtors outstanding totalling £117.50, which were received in full. There were no creditors outstanding at the year end. Cash The cash balance at the year end was £30,402.43 (2025: £26,430.25), with £1,184.77 of this balance being the unspent balance of the grant funding. This is included in the current account balance but is ringfenced for the community space project and may not be used to fund daily expenses for the Hall. The majority of the grant funding balance was spent in April ‘26 on the benches to complete the community space.

The above income and expenditure account has been restated to strip out all grant income and expenditure for
both years, as well as the £7,500 of income relating to the sale of the handbells in the current year, since this is an

The result of this treatment is a clearer picture of the Hall’s underlying income and expenditure on a more comparable basis, since the most recent two years have both been skewed by exceptional income and expenditure items.

Reasons for the underlying deficit in the 25/26 year are a small decrease in income from 24/25 (predominantly due to lower fundraising revenue), combined with some expensive improvements to the Hall during 25/26, including £2,389.20 for the external lighting upgrade and £617.30 for a new water boiler for the main kitchen.
