SMHT- 2025 Chair Review Overview Another very successful year, hall users, hirers, attendances to functions, discounts to other charities maintained and a successful May fayre. Completlon of the hall extension & refurbishment of the original hall ground floor. The extension has expanded our hire spaces including 3 micro offices, hot desk area and 2 more activity rooms. Income has increased far more than our expectations, confirming that we did the right thing expanding the hall. The future looks very rosy as last years activities have Financial NB The figures in this report are rounded, for detail see the full accounts Trading / core activities ie stripped out any c(7pex either way Income £220k- expenses1£239k- 144k project expenses} £95k = £125k surplus on activities Cash in Bank 315t Dec 24- £52k 31" Dec 25- £22k Capital spend £144 k Outstanding loan of £25k, 0 £6k poyment is due each June until and inc 2029 The vast majority of capital money has been spent on the extension and refurbishment project, which a150 includes an upgrade to the cinema system. We believe the balance of income streams is nicely spread: we are quite resilient to one of these becoming le55 buoyant at any time Regular Hirer5 Occasional HSrers Forever active programme Office hires Educational home study hires is a new but growin8 area. Event Management and subsequent bar takings
Occupancy rate Over 800A including the new spaces Events in the hall We ran all our regular events to support the community, music, cinema etc. Children's Parties We continue to be a magnet for children parties, these contribute greatly to the halls finances Forever activity programme We have run these activities for over 10 years no, these are great community services but they also add a good income stream May Fayre The May fayre was very successful, we are planning to continue the event for 2026, this is an ad hoc arrangement reviewed each year. It is an event that we do not raise money for ourselves it is purely for the benefit of other charities and associations and the residents in the town. Centre Mana8er This role was created and filled sept 2024 to help with the expanded facility, it is proving very successful and ha5 reduced the amount of work carried out by volunteers Future Now that the expansion is complete, consolidation of our financial position by building back our reserves is planned for the next two years, with minor works and improvements continuing.
