SHIFNAL VILLAGE HALL
(Registered Charity No. 505365)
Report of Management Trustees for Year Ended 31 December 2021
This has been another very unusual year with the Coronavirus having a devastating effect on our ability to function as a venue for local activities. We were closed for a number of months and open with restrictions for a period, but client confidence when we were fully open was very slow to return to normal.
In addition to the Annual General Meeting, the Management Trustees met three times during the year to manage the Village Hall, which is let out to various local groups and members of the public.
Booking levels compared with pre Covid were considerably down, but revenue from the hire of the hall increased to £14,544 compared with £11,100 in the previous year. A Government Covid 19 grant of £18,565 was received.
Operating costs, including repairs and improvements, decreased to £19,770 from £37,470 for the previous year.
The annual accounts show a surplus for the year of £13,055 giving total reserves carried forward of £192,318 which includes £134,158 for buildings, fixtures and fittings.
£52,609 is held by Lloyds Bank PLC, of which £50,950 is in a deposit account.
