Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
Mannings Heath Village Hall made a trading profit of £7,648 this financial
year ending 3110312024. After a stable and profitable prior year ending
3110312023, the current year started with the Hall being well occupied with
regular hirers and popular with ad hoc guests. The Committee agreed to
undertake a new project to strip the hall roof. add some insulation and retile
the roof. This has future-proofed the hall in terms of fixing some leaks. as
well as making the roof more environmentally sound with the added
insulation.
This has been in the long term plans ever since the kitchen and toilets were
remodelled 5 years ago, making the most of the more efficient boiler which
was fitted then. This project was funded via a Biffa Award grant, covering
900k of the costs, with the remaining 10 % funded by Horsham branch of
Parkinson's UK. Part-funding by an interested group is part of the Biffa
Award requirement. During the roof repair, the Hall Committee also took
the opportunity to repla￿ some of the ceiling tiles in the main Hall, which
had been damaged by water from the leaky roof.
The work was undertaken with only small disruption to our hirers, the
majority of whom were able to hire as nomial throughout the project.
Section E
Financial review
Cash at Bank at 31st March 2024 was £38,435 in unrestricted funds.
Brief statement of the
charity's policy on reserves
The main financial risk to the charity is a loss of funding from use of the
hall from any future pandemic closures. Current funds as at 28th January
2025 were £45,897 and we continue to conserve funds to meet essential
expenditure such as insurance. We keep 1 year's worth of essential
expenditure as reserves (£5k).

The following accounts were prepared by Harriet Connor ACMA (Treasurer). These accounts are prepared
5t
on a cash basis and represent the financial position as at 31 March 2024. They are currently draft and
will be presented to the committee at the next meeting. The A.G.M will be held during November 2024.
Mannings Heath Village Hall made a trading profit of £7,648 this financial year ending 31103/2024. After
a stable and profitable prior year ending 3110312023, the current year started with the Hall being well
occupied with regular hirers and popular with ad hoc gue5t5. The Committee agreed to undertake a new
project to strip the hall roof. add some insulation and retile the roof. This has future-proofed the hall in
terms of fixing some leaks, as well as making the roof more environmentally sound with the added
insulation.
This has been in the long term plans ever since the kitchen and toilets were remodelled 5 years ago,
making the most of the more efficient boiler which was fitted then. This project wa5 funded via a Biffa
Award grant, covering 90% of the costs, with the remaining IO% funded by Horsham branch of Parkinson's
UK. Part-funding by an interested group is part of the Biffa Award requirement. During the roof repair,
the Hall Committee also took the opportunity to replace some of the ceiling tiles in the main Hall, which
had been damaged by water from the leaky roof.
The work was undertaken with only small disruption to our hirers, the majority of whom were able to hire
as normal throughout the project.

As per the agreement, 2 years after installation, the Hall repaid Red Academy Dance the final 113 costs of
the mirrors installed in September 2021.
The 2023-24 surplus will be taken forward and held for any future maintenance needs. The floor will need
to be revarnished within the next couple of years and the Committee is considering the installation of
solar panels, now that the roof is in good working order. If this goes ahead, it will likely involve some input
from other community groups, plus some of the Hall's own funds. These sit at £38,435 at Apr-24. As
always, we will maintain a ring-fenced amount to run the Hall for l year in the event of enforced closure
(c £5kl. Any significant use of surplus funds will be approved by the Committee.
In addition to an audited Receipts & Payment Schedule, a trading account for BAU Hall activities and a
cash balance sheet as 31" March 2024 are included for additional information only.
