## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2023.** 

Horncastle and District Community Association (508317) is the Charity responsible for operating Horncastle Community Centre, for the benefit of all persons in this area. At our AGM on 18/09/2023 the 4 managing Trustees were re-elected, but subsequently there have been 2 changes. The new Secretary and Treasurer Trustees are now registered with the Charity Commission. 

In 2023 the Community Centre accounts showed a small trading profit (£1,726). The reserves held in our deposit account have increased (£22,938). 

Our 2023 hiring income has now returned to prepandemic levels, perhaps to some extent due to our economical rates for hiring. As a community focussed venue, we believe it important to keep our hiring fees unchanged as long as possible, despite many increasing costs. 

With the help of funding received from ELDC, the Cooperative Store and the Jobson Trust, we were able to proceed with some major expenditure. This included a new Kitchen flat roof and Wi-Fi availability throughout the premises. We have also improved the content on our Website. 

We look forward to continuing to serve the local Community in 2024.
