Income is down on last year due to all the works and expenditure associated with this. The outstanding event in 24/25 was the annual Bonfire and Fireworks event which proved more popular that in previous years with an increased overall contribution. The solar installation has now more than proved a good investment giving the hall an income rather than an expense. Based on the receipt and payment analysis, I certify that this is a true reflection of the charity for the year ending February 2025. Simon Blyth.
