Treasurer's Report 2023/24
Mr Chairman,
May I present the 56th Annual Report to the Association.
Overall our income in the year to 30[th] April 2024 was £4,082 more than our expenditure.

The net income for the Bar was £7,280.
Events included a very successful Gin & Prosecco evening and two separate quiz. The total raised was £3,164. Unfortunately we were unable to stage the annual Downhill Run.
Grants and Donations- The 200 Club again made a donation of £4,000. We received £250 in recognition of our help with the Rotary Xmas Float. In addition we received a bequest of £2,000 from Jean Littler's estate. Jean used to be our booking secretary.
The actual Lettings for the year totalled £81,689.
The Weaver Words Literary Festival resulted in a net income of £3,425.

Staff Costs
----- End of picture text -----
Staff Costs , wages and National Insurance contributions remains our largest area of expenditure. The total cost was £47,971
Other than the staff costs there were no significant Admin costs .
The majority of the Buildings costs of £17,503 were due to the replacement of failed window units around the building, the refurbishment of the gents toilets with some work undertaken in the ladies as well. In addition the pot holes in the car park have been repaired.
House costs were minimal.
The Services costs reflected the increase in gas, electricity and water prices.
Balance Sheet
The increase in Net Current Assets reflects the excess income over expenditure. Frodsham Community Association remains financially healthy and we continue to hold reserves to cover the possibility of an uninsured loss.
The need for reserves at the current level will diminish once we have completed the transition to CIO status. We would, however, look to retain c. 1 year's running costs.
In addition you need to be aware that we will have some large items of expenditure in the coming years. Our heating system is coming to the end of its life and will need replacing within the next few years. We are also considering replacing the chairs in the Main Hall. Many have become damaged and some of our users have indicated they are not the most comfortable if sitting for any great length of time.
Budget for the Year 2024/25
In setting the budget I have made the following assumptions:
-
Wages/NI costs will increase in line with the National Living Wage
-
In addition to the normal repairs and renewals throughout the year, the planned programme of building maintenance will continue. We intend to refurbish the GP Room and the area outside of that room. The Large and Small Committee Rooms will be repainted as required and new carpet tiles fitted.
-
The level of increase in our utility costs will not be of the magnitude of last year.

Income Assumptions
-
Our Lettings will be at a similar level to the year just gone
-
The contribution from the Bar will be similar to historic levels
-
Events income will include a surplus from the Downhill Run .
-
The 200 Club will continue to make a contribution to the Centre's income.
