SHIFNAL VILLAGE HALL The Village Hall, Aston Street. Shifnal. TF118DW IRegistered Charity No- 5053651 Annual Re ort to Trustees for ear endin 31" December 2024. Trustees: .tr. John Home. ( Chairnian) Miss. Paula Rushton. (Secretary) Mrs. Jacqui Booker, (Treasurer) Kevin Booker, (Web Manager) Cllr. Roger Cox- Representing Shifnal Town Council From May 2025 Cllr Jan Coulson has replaced Cllr Roger Cox as representaiivr of Shifnal Town Council and Mrs Ellen Moore was elected on to the committee. As the Charity Commission provide inforniation on what is expected of Trustees no t'ormal induction or training is given by Shifnal Village Hall. th At the Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 14 May 2025 the Constitution, which had been previously revised by Trustees, was forn]ally adopted and the Statement of Accounts to 31" December 2024 was accepted. Previously Shifnal Village Hall was governed by a constitution which was amended in November 2010. Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting held in May each year, with Shifnal Town Council providing a representative following their first meeting in May. Trustee meetings are held bi-monthly. Shifnal Village Hall provides a venue for local people to undertake sporting, social and recreational activities. It has one main hall with a stage and a further 2 smaller meeting rooms that can be hired, as well as a kitchen, and a small car park adj acent to the main town car park in Shifnal. The Village Hall boasts a well-stocked bar that is run by our Bar Manager and can be hired for any event. We currently have 8 regular groups who use the hall and most weekends are booked by the general public for social events. We have also hosted a wedding this year and are hoping to encourage others to use our facilities for this in future.
As the Village Hall was built in 1975 it was decided to undertake a number of improvements to the venue in the coming years to improve the general appearance and safety. The first of these was to replace the curtains and blinds in the main hall and meeting rooms as well as paint the interior. This was our priority for 2024. In subsequent years the roof and facias will be repaired and replaced where necessary, fire doors will be fitted with push bars as well as improving the main entrance to the hall. It is hoped to find a contactor to clean and seal floor as well. General maintenance will continue to ensure that the hall is safe for its hirers. It was decided to improve our Website and Mr Booker has taken over this as well as providing l.T. support. More social media activity will be added to bring in more users of the hall. Quotes were sourced and in August 2024 the hall was painted and new curtainq were hung. It has dramatically improved the look of the hall and we are hopeful Ihat it will encourage more people to use our venue. Priorities for 2025 are to -'JairireDlace the roof and fascias and replace the fire door in the hall with a . Jsn Dar door as well as replace the existing main door. The Booking Clerk, David Carey. resioned as of 31" December 2024 and M Rushton and Mrs Booker interviewed and appointed a new Booking Clerk readv to start on I" January 2025. We are hopeful that Rebecca Davies will bring new life to our hall and are looking forward to working with her. The Booking Clerk Is a seir-employed role and she will invoice us monthly for her services. It was decided not to limit the hours that she is able to do as we require her to be flexible and proactive in her new post. The Treasurer has designed a new bookinglrecording system as a spreadsheet that is to be used by both the Booking Clerk and the Treasurer so that all activities and costings can be recorded in one place. This has been trialled previous to the start of 2025 and has been successful. This should eliminate clerical errors due to transfer of details. During the course of the year we have SDent a considerable amount of mon.--' improvino the hall and therefore our accounts have seen a deficit over Ir.: course of the year. It was decided not to move any money inio accounis wni=.. provide better interest as we want easy access to our money so that we can continue to improve the venue. We have spent over £15 000 renovating this year and are likely to spend a similar amount next year which will deplete our finances considerably. However we are ensuring that we maintain a sensible amount in our Business account in order to finance any unforeseen expenses.
The annual accounts show a deficit for the year of £4032 giving total reserves carried forward of £184 332, which includes £44 225 of which £44 169 is in a deposit account with Lloyds bank. This year our income was £33 230 as against £24 984 the previous year whilst our expenditure was £36 932 against £23 995 in 2023. Our only assets are the hall itself which is in good repair. The Trustees have been provided with a copy of the guidance issued by the Charity Commission regarding public benefit and have complied with their duty to have due regard to that guidance in 2024.
