As our income had not (then), it was decided at our 25 Jan 2023 Committee meeting, not to have the annual accounts independently examined. However, for 2023/24 we have exceeded £25,000 so an examination is required. |**Note 8**

964.00| |---|---|---| When the 31 March 2023 accounts were prepared, we had not been billed for the (summer season) 2022 grass cutting, so a provision of £650 was made. In October 2023 we were billed £580 for the 2022 season, and paid £55 for other work. From the bill received January 2025, we make a provision for the 2023 season of £590, making the overall charge for 2023/2024 at £575. These income amounts are obtained for specific projects or are uncertain (but very welcome) so we 'ring fence' them, and **Note 10** show separately in the accounts to make clear how the Village Hall depends on both successful grant applications and this generosity. Grants received in 2023/24 were from S Norfolk Council £11,000, Thurton Parish Council £2,000 and Ashby St Mary PC (also) £2,000 - all went towards resurfacing the Hall driveway costs. > **Note 11** Rates 2,560.00 1,920.00 The rates charge from South Norfolk, shown only as information, is not an actual cost to the Hall because in recent years the Village Hall has received 100% relief against the charge - comprised 80% mandatory charity relief (Central Government) and 20% discretionary charity relief, given by SNCC. This relief appears to be reviewed annually and while no changes to reliefs have been announced beyond March 2020, there is no guarantee these reliefs will continue. 24/03/2025 17:10 Village Hall Accounts 2023-2024 final 3 March 2025 2024 notes to accounts
