Yelvertoft Village Hall Management Committee (Charity No. 304457)
Treasurer’s Annual Report for year ending 30 September 2025
AGM
I wish to thank Francis Powell for independently examining the accounts.
Overview
Income £111,097.65 (2024: £36,765.15). Income split 2025: Non-grant income £37,813.08, grants received £73,284.57 (2024: Non-grant income £34,644, grants received £2,121).
Expenditure £108,081 (2024: £46,416)
Income & Expenditure
Private hire of the Hall, 3 party sports and pet show clubs income increased to £1 6,125.15 (2024: £14,202). The addition of a weekly table tennis session has proved particularly popular. The Village Fete took place again this year, having income of £4081.76 and expenditure of £2,742.73. A couple of items remain to be received and/or paid as at year end. Itis planned that our next fete will take place in 2027.
Film nights, theatre events, and the running of a Last Saturday Café once a month remain important to help community spirit. 2025 income £4,337.14, expenditure £958.54
Block booking of the Club Room and use of our Wifi by the Yelvertoft Pre-School continues to provide a constant income stream £4,104 (2024 £3,900). The 200 Club prize draw provided useful income £1,196, expenditure £640.
Repairs and maintenance costs were £8,407.56 (2024: £11,752) including tree surgery (£1,850) to facilitate new playground works. Also included £592.80 for a fridge/freezer, £750 to cover the bridge repair in the pocket park and removal of defunct playground equipment. Energy costs were contained due to the very warm summer £5,970.02 (2024 £6,890)
The refurbishment of the children’s playground facilities has finally been achieved, after fundraising efforts over several years. The overall cost of the project was £107,301 (including additional turf and picket fencing) — this was funded by grants from BIFFA (£75,000) and Northamptonshire Community Fund (£20,000.00), with the balance drawn froma variety of sources (Yelvertoft Parish Council (£7271), Yelvertoft Educational Charity (£1,000), Hollowell Steam Rally (£200), the estate of Geoffrey Heighton (a resident - £1,000) and a raffle organised by interested parents (£1,211). A grand opening was held on the 13" September 2025. Grants for this project provided during this year totalled £62,500, with the remainder to be paid during 2025/6. The balance of costs still due to the contractor at year end was £31,183.
Yelvertoft Parish Council reimbursed the playground portion of the insurance premium and annual inspection of the playground facilities.
YELVERTOFT VILLAGE HALL CHAIRMAN’S ANNUAL REPORT 2ND February 2026
7 There have been two main highlights during the year — the village fete and the opening of the new children’s play area. The bi-annual fete was very successful due to careful | planning by a sub-committee over many preceding months. Hundreds from the village community and further afield attended the fete and enjoyed the wide range of attractions ) and refreshments which also helped to raise funds for the Hall and the parish church. On | the same day our MP Stuart Andrew formally opened the play area to the many children eagerly waiting to use the equipment for the first time. This project took many months to | come to fruition thanks to grants from BIFFA, the Yelvertoft Wind Farm Community Fund, Yelvertoft Parish Council, Yelvertoft Educational Charity and private donations. In addition, several volunteers gave their time and energy to prepare the play area for its opening. | The Hall has been used for a wide variety of activities throughout the year including Yelvertoft Pre-School, theatrical and singing performances both indoors and at the Theatre by the Pond, film shows, bowls, badminton, keep fit, table tennis, Tai Chi, WI, meetings, private functions and parties, wedding receptions, dog clubs and dog training. The monthly Last Saturday Café continues to be well attended and provides a regular opportunity for socialising and enjoying tea, coffee and homemade cakes.
Cricket is now being played throughout the summer by a number of teams from the area with Yelvertoft’s own sides having a very successful summer in their leagues, and football matches continue through the winter season. Our committee seeks to continuously improve the Hall. This year we have new exhibition display stands thanks to a grant from Yelvertoft Parish Council, and a grant from Yelvertoft Solar Farm has paid for new curtains in the hall. Our kitchen equipment has also been upgraded thanks to using some of our own reserves and a grant from Hollowell Steam Rally where volunteers helped at the two-day event. A new glass washer has been installed due to a private donation. We have also invested in new maintenance equipment — a heavy-duty mower, a hedge trimmer and grass strimmer. The Hall is grateful for the Parish Council’s contribution to part of our insurance costs. The Pocket Park continues to be well used and is regularly maintained and monitored for wildlife and habitat diversity. Volunteer working groups have carried out various tasks and Yelvertoft Environmental Group hosted a Wildlife Afternoon helped by the local Wildlife Trust. A two-year management plan has been devised with the help of the Wildlife Trust and is the basis of a grant application for new equipment, professional advice and events aimed at attracting families, children and more volunteers. The Village Hall and all its facilities continue to thrive as a successful community asset due to dedicated support from its committee and from many members of our local community. Thanks are extended to all who contribute in so many ways.
