Edale Village Hall – Chairman's Report 2021

It has been another strange year for the village hall. Re-opening the hall as a multi-user venue in 2020 would have been a challenge, and so it was of mutual benefit when Stepping Stones Nursery asked if they could take over exclusive use of the village hall from September to November. It was wonderful seeing the village hall come to life again, with colourful pictures and toys and a room full of happy children. Restrictions increased again in the autumn and into winter and there were further delays to Stepping Stones move into their permanent home in the Winery. With events being cancelled, no bookings for the hall, and then a further lockdown from the start of January 2021 it was an easy decision to extend their stay in the hall, first to December, then January and then onward until they finally moved out at the beginning of May.

With Stepping Stones out of the village hall and settling happily into their new home, and Covid-19 restrictions starting to lift in the country, the village hall reopened its doors cautiously as a multi user venue in May 2021. As we currently stand in June 2021, bookings are slowly picking up as events re-start.

It may take some time for bookings to return to normal, however thanks to the help from council grants over the last year the hall is in a good position to get through this lean period.

After closing for a few months from March to July in 2020 the children’s play area has remained open and has been well used. The playing field has remained open throughout the pandemic and has been popular, although sadly without the team games that were happening before the pandemic started. There is much enthusiasm for additional facilities on the playing field, and plans for a new petanque court are well underway.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a challenge to community halls around the country, however the facilities in Edale remain in a financially strong position and we are hopeful that usage of the hall and playing field will gradually get back to normal.

There are many people who give their time to support Edale Village Hall and Playing Field, however special thanks must be given to:

As usual it is worth remembering that the village hall and playing field are run entirely by members of the community, and so a massive thank you to everyone who has helped over the last year, you’ve done a great job.

Chair, Edale Village Hall and Playing Field Management Committee

Edale Village Hall & Playing Field Charitable Trust

Registered Charity 507831

Treasurers Report for 12 months ending 7th April 2022

1. Introduction

The village hall and playing field are held in trust on behalf of the community of Edale. The trust is a registered charity and the members of the management committee are trustees of that charity.

The running costs of the hall and playing field include items such as Cleaning, Insurance, Caretaker, Heating, Mowing, Play Area inspection and maintenance, Water, Electricity, General Rates and Licences.

Neither the hall nor the playing field are directly funded by the local councils.

Charges are made for hall letting in order to cover running costs. This includes the letting of the hall to non residents in-order to reduce the burden of these costs on the residents.

There are no charges for using the playing field and children's play area. Running costs therefore need to be covered indirectly e.g. by fund raising.

Funds can also be received by way of grants, fund raising activities and donations.

These accounts report on the above activities related to the year ending 7th April 2022. The following sections explain the tables and graphs being provided and comment on the figures that are being reported.

2. Income & Expenditure Summary

The village hall was used exclusively by the Stepping Stones Nursey in April 2021 before becoming available to all users from May 2021.

Income from this year's activities, after excluding the ring fenced Bonfire event, have not quite covered the expenditure of the organisation and have delivered a small deficit of £742.

Hall Letting contributed a deficit of £2,362, with expenditure having returned to the normal level last seen in 2019/20 whilst income has only been 70% of the normal level.

The Playing Field contributed a deficit of £1,766. The Tennis Club provide the only direct income meaning most of the costs need to be covered by fund raising.

Fund raising has covered the above Hall Letting and Playing Field deificits, having contributed £4,139 from the Hundreds Club and the Parish Council's Station Yard Charity Car Park. There was no Country Day in 2021.

Grants contributed £9,934, with significant COVID-19 related grants for the Retail Hospitality and Leisure sector having again been received via High Peak BC.

This year has seen investments made on Refurbishment with £6,798 spent on the Playing Field and Children's Play area and £3,536 spent on the hall.

3. Account Balance Sheet

The end of year balance is £64,577, of which £12,188 is the ring fenced Bonfire account, leaving £52,389 of the balance unrestricted.

4. Income & Expenditure

This sheet shows how the various activities of the charity contributed to the overall figures, including the contributions made by each fund raising activity.

The most notable items are:

£3,319 received from the Parish Council's Station Yard Charity car park £4,184 spent on Children's Play Area maintenance

£1,902 spent on a full redecoration of the hall.

£1,692 spent on the new Boules pitch which was part funded by Breedon Cement.

£860 spent on replacement celing lights.

£734 spent on Sports Equipment. £194 spent on new chairs.

There were exceptionally high water costs due to a leak on the playing field that may have cost as much as £800. The leak has now been identified and that section of pipe has been disconnected from the supply.

5. Hundreds Club

The hundreds club is a lottery run for the benefit of the village hall and playing field. A great deal of effort is put in by a number of volunteers to promote this and collect subscriptions. This year it has raised £820.

6. Bonfire

The bonfire is run by a sub committee of the village hall and playing field management committee. The 2021 Bonfire delivered a surplus of £3,256.

7. Expenditure Analysis over 5 years

This section shows a breakdown of the costs to operate the hall and is included for future reference and analysis. Trendlines have been included on the graphs to smooth out the peaks and troughs that are sometimes due to estimated bills.

8. Hall Usage

Hall usage this year again stands at 23%, not yet back to the 33% level seen in 2019/20.

Usage by Non Residents and local groups appears to be largely back to normal.

Usage by individual residents appears to not yet be back to normal with usage standing at approximately half that seen in 2019/20.

9. Comparison of Closing Balances since 2003

This section has been included to give the current balance some historical context. The graph shows how funds of circa £70k were accumulated from 2003 upto the major refurbishment in 2011/12. Eleven years on from that major refurbishment, the current balance (excluding the Bonfire) of circa £52k shows how we are well on the way to being able to fund another major refurbishment in a few years time.

10. Overall Summary

Income from hall letting and fund raising have once again covered the operating costs of the organisation. Significant COVID-19 related grants were again received this year and largely covered the costs of investments made on refurbishments.

The main challenge for the management committee is to re-build the 33-40% utilisation that we have seen in recent years. The £52k closing bank balance positions us well to meet this challenge and work towards funding the next major refurbishment, potentially in just a few years time.

Christopher J. Wright Treasurer.

Edale Village Hall and Playing Fields Charity Accounts

Scrutiny of the Accounts for the Year to 7[th] April 2021

The Accounts for the year were scrutinised on Thursday 6th May and Monday 21st June and a meeting held with the Village Hall Treasurer on Sunday 19th June . Bank statements for the 5 bank accounts have been viewed online and details of income and expenditure for the Charitable Trust have been checked and the recording mechanisms examined.

Given the strange year, it is appreciated that the Committee and the Treasurer have done sterling work in reducing the halls ongoing costs, gaining the grant income available due to the pandemic and establishing a long term tenant for part of the period - thanks all!
