Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The year has been a consolidation of our on- going purpose with all the refurbishment completed. Demand for hiring has been buoyant and raised the income from hiring fees to our highest level of £11400. Hirers enjoy, and compliment us on, the new modern space and its excellent facilities, and bookings increase by recommendations. Further renewal of facilities has become possible with the receipt of a S106 grant from the new housing development at the edge of the village. The £18K was paid right at the end of the financial year and will be used for new furniture and enhancements to the performance equipment. The Hall took over the direct running of Frittenden Events. This provides live shows through the auspices of Applause Rural Touring, and also a film club screening mostly non-mainstream films. Both these initiatives bring accessible entertainment at reasonable prices to the village.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The accounts reflect a successful trading year with a surplus of £1470. None of the S106 grant of £17989 has been spent as it was received at the end of the year and the total cash figure excluding the grant is £8094. Hiring receipts have increased to £11400, of which £750 can be attributed to a small price increase in April. However, overheads are also high and rising, partly a function of increased hall usage and partly a function of price rises generally. The accounts include a separate P&L and balance sheet for Frittenden Events and a consolidated balance sheet. The Frittenden Events season runs from September to April so these accounts only reflect one event.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The target is to have cash holding of £10K for on-going upgrades and maintenance and to cover any temporary shortfall in hall usage.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£8094
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23
