LACH DENNIS VILLAGE HALL – Registered Charity No 520074 TREASURERS REPORT YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025 Ms Lynn Griffiths held the role of treasurer in the financial year from 1[st] April up to her resignation from the position in November 2024. Due to the difficulty of finding a replacement, the role has been vacant until May 2025, when the committee accepted my offer to take on the position. Since that point, with great help from the committee, and specifically the booking clerk, I have been able to complete a full reconciliation of the annual accounts, both on paper and also captured in the cloud-based accounting software, Xero. The attached report has been created using the same approach and methodology that was put in place by the previous treasurer. Lach Dennis Village Hall is showing an annual profit, before depreciation, for the fiscal year of £10,883, an increase of £2,951 on the previous year. After depreciation, the profit stands at £4,040. The main reason can be seen in the increase in bar revenue, hall hire, and the benefit of the reduction of repair or replacement needs in the year. Hall hire income has increased this year from £24,821 to £26,718. Bar takings have increased from £9,013 to £14,355, with the number of bar events rising from 12 to 21. This is a reflection of the increased quality of events and services provided both in the booking and bar service. Naturally, as revenue has increased, there has been an impact on cost to serve. Bar spend has increased from £7,666 to £9,888. In addition, there has been a large increase in utility costs from £4,542 to £7,641. There may be an opportunity in the next financial year to explore improvements in fuel efficiency by upgrading the current systems. There have been no new fixtures and fittings added to the depreciation list. 3 items; hand dryers, stage curtains and 150 chairs have now been fully depreciated and therefore removed from the fixed asset list. As a consequence, the total net book value has decreased from £160,301 to £153,458. As a result of the strong revenue performance, the balance sheet surplus has increased from £202,280 to £206,320.
