BRILL MEMORIAL HALL
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees present their report for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The year showed continuing improvement in the overall surplus, achieving £7,939 in the year, of which £1,668 has been earmarked for the pending Hall refurbishment.
Receipts
Once again, Hall hires were up and the offices were let throughout the year. The Parish Council provided a contribution of £2,000 relating to the previous year. As mentioned above, net receipts of £1,668 were added to the balance earmarked for the proposed refurbishment of the Hall that is to take place over the next year or so, bringing that total to £2,090.
Payments
Overheads remained relatively constant year on year with insurance and cleaning costs showing the highest increases.
Net Funds
As a result of the factors outlined above, the cash reserves of the Hall were increased by £7,939 to £41,542.
Looking forward
The Hall continues to be a prime location in the village for hosting a range of regular community activities as well as social functions such as wedding receptions, birthday parties and other one-off events which require well serviced facilities.
There will be additional ongoing expenses that have to be incurred in the year to March 2026, relating in particular to the repair of the wooden sash windows on the ground floor, which will be costly as the building is Grade II listed, putting restrictions on what can be done to those windows. In addition, planning is well under way for an ambitious programme for improvements to the Hall in order to keep it fit for purpose for years to come. It will take some time to complete the project and it is hoped that significant funding for the works to be done will be forthcoming from third party grants, donations such as the ones mentioned above.
On behalf of the Trustees_
