Robert Andrew Kelly FCA
8 Matty Lonning Thursby Carlisle CA5 6PQ
Thursby Parish Hall - 508841
Financial Year Ending — 31% March 2025
Report following the independent examination of the charity accounts for Thursby Parish Hall by Robert Andrew Kelly being duly qualified as FCA.
| have audited the accounts of Thursby Parish Hall for over 20 years, a practice given the usual income being below £25k pa which has gone above and beyond the Hall’s legal requirements until the financial year ending 31° March 2021 and 31 March 2025.
The competency of the treasurers over the last 10 - 15 years have been exemplary, and | have no concerns regarding their ability or any concerns with their overall management of the accounts.
Their procedures are robust and ensure the security of the funds held by the Parish Hall.
| have fully completed the recommended checklist and can confirm | have examined the accounting records and found these to be correct and completed to an extremely high standard.
The accounts agree fully with the funds held and detailed on the annual report.
The format of the accounts is correct with no requirement to prepare these on an accrual basis and | can confirm the charity is eligible for the independent examination based on the level of income being over £25,000 and for no other reason.
| have identified no areas of concern in relation to the running of the accounts for Thursby Parish Hall. The accounts do showa loss for the second year running, but age related maintenance costs have impacted the level of expenditure which has been undertaken to protect the long term integrity of the hall. The committee are committed to protecting the asset of the hall whilst at the same time looking to enhance income through the coming years and taking proactive actions to enhance the income with costs covered in the coming years. | am confident in their abilities.

Financial Report for Thursby Parish Hall 2024-2025
Charity Name: Thursby Parish Hall
Registration Number: 508841
Address: Matty Lonning, Thursby, Carlisle, Cumbria CA5 6PQ
Trustees:
Colin Edgar, Elizabeth Gorst, Andrea Edwards, Nicolette Carey, Julie Fitzsimmons, Wendy Tiffin, Kenneth Thorn & Robert Drayton
Charities Commission is the Custodian Trustee.
Income overall on the year to 31/3/25 increased from £23,526 to £27,988 with the number of hirers and income increasing from last year. The Hall’s income has been measured over the last few years against pre pandemic figures ending 31/3/20 with hirers income at £19,812 & Fund Raising income of £1 529 totalling £21,341. 2024/2025 the combined income for these two areas amounted to £24,129 and overall income on the year being the highest it’s ever been for the hall at £27,988. Every committee member should take pride in the level of work involved to generate these levels of income. Well done.
Additional income includes FIT payments of £785, lower than usual as some of the generation income was claimed in the previous year and some will be due to be paid in 25/26. Interest of £2774 was received being the highest for a considerable time with the hall benefitting from higher interest rates. A donation of £300 was gratefully received from Thursby Parish Council aiding income levels.
Maintenance Fund Stands at £52,710ina 1 year bond which will mature in May and would expect to reinvest at a slightly lower figure than the current interest rate of 4.4% The Instant Access Account stands at £21,998 being the Maintenance and Capital Expenditure Fund - £5,000 was transferred to the Coop current account during the year given the capital expenditure that was completed. A total of £74,708 is now being held in reserve and can be called upon in case of need subject to the agreement of the committee.
£13,898 is held in the Cooperative current account down from £17,151 as at 31/3/24. A healthy balance retained to cover ongoing income and expenditure. The combined sum of the Skipton Maintenance & Capital Expenditure Fund of £21 ,998 and the current account at £13,898 cover the current reserve level of £35,000 needed in the event of funds being needed quickly. The one year bond matures in May and before reinvestment the committee will decide whether a further cushion is needed by

transferring capital and/or the earned income over to the Skipton access account to increase instantly accessible funds.
Cash float of £250 continues to be held giving overall funds of £88,856 down from £94,335 last year.
The financial aim of this year has once again been to increase the useofthe hall, to Promote the hall to new users, retain existing hirers and to invest in the long term maintenance of the hall and to purchase equipment that will enhance the use of the hall to users. The committee has worked tirelessly to host events run by the hall, some have been very well attended, but some have had to be cancelled due to lack of interest which has been disappointing. 2025 has a new agenda of events including themed food evenings, starting with Greek night on 5" April, Quizzes and D Day Celebration. We very much hope villagers will support us given the ongoing funds needing to be raised and to aid the longevity of this brilliant facility.
Hall fees have continued to be reviewed and tweaked where needed. A comparison has been completed of comparable halls and the committee are confident the hirers fees are in line with other halls, and will continue in this vein. The introduction of the kitchen fee of £20 and the £1 per person from the monthly lunches has contributed well to fund raising.
Electricity costs this year have been lower than had been anticipated, but this has been due to an ombudsman complaint regarding the Hall’s supplier which fitted the wrong meter and resulted in £3,300 in compensation and bill recalculation. The Hallis still in Credit with the supplier, and costs around £8250 are expected this year compared to the £5100 charged 24/25. This is all Significantly higher than the £4k charged in 22/23 when the unit price was 14p.
As acommittee looking to protect the hall as a long term asset the decision was taken to spend funds on the roof area - condensation was marking the tiles and a void in the roof space allowed heat to escape, so along with new energy efficient lights fitted in the main hall just over £10k was spent to protect these for the future with an expectation that the electricity usage/cost will also decrease.
£2050 was also spent on a new projector which the committee feels will be of benefit to hirers and enable the hall to host events with the use of the projector without the need to hire/pay for one externally.
Overall, expenditure has increased and is expected to continue to increase in the future. Last year income was anticipated at £25k and expenditure to be in the region of £28k with a £3k loss following 23/24 loss of £4204. However, income at £27,988 against expenditure of £33,467 providing a loss of £5479. If the costs of the roof, lights and projector being one off items are added back into the accounts then a profit of £7,371 would be a good indicator of the income versus normal anticipated expenditure (this is a little inflated given the benefit of the electricity payments that have been received, but once again highlights with overall funds of £88,856 still being held, plus in the region of £1,750 stock of alcohol held ready for events, the hall remains ina strong financial
|
Position with committee members committed to ensuring the long term sustainability of the hall.
Looking to 2025/2026 the income is anticipated at around £32k and expenditure of F27k. The only exceptional item at this stage is for the purchase of a floor cleaner in the region of £1500. This would leave a profit around £5k.
These figures are based on hirer numbers continuingto increase and for the committee held fund raising events to be supported by villagers. This is imperative to the longevity of the hall.
In view of the Thursby Parish Hall being a Charity the expectation is that we cover our costs and a large profit is not expected. However, it would be reasonable to recoup the losses made over the last 2 years, and to try and protect further against inflation. The committee remains obliged and committed to ensure the hall remains financially viable long into the future and will make any necessary changes to ensure this. Regular financial reviews will be completed throughout the year to make any adjustments to fees, expenditure etc as deemed necessary.
R A Kelly FCA (Hon Auditor) has audited the accounts for 2024/2025 and once again confirmed he is happy to continue in this role and the committee thanks him for his continued support of the Hall.
