## CROFT VILLAGE HALL – CHAIRPERSONS REPORT 

Our total income for the year was £25900 and our total outgoings were 24500. This left £1400 profit carried over to this year and will be spent on a variety of projects. We have used caution to take advantage of better interest rates with investing our capital reserves. 

It has been a challenging year particularly with the flood that occurred at the end of October 2023. There was some serious damage to our wooden sprung floor in the large hall despite the help from individuals from the community and donations from several sources, however this is now in the hands of our insurers. 

We are very pleased with a number of achievements through the year, most notably: 

- The pot holes in the car park have been repaired. 

- All outside doors (10 of them) have been painted by volunteers and have spruced the building up. 

- Many of our emergency lights have been renewed resulting in a 100% pass with our fire certificate. 

- We received donations to fund bat and bird boxes from Freedom Fibre, and planters for the front of our building from Croft Parish Council. 

- We had a 5-year test done on our electrical wiring throughout the building. 

- We had our stage curtains cleaned and fireproofed. This is a 5 yearly action. 

Whilst we have lost a few user groups over the year we have also gained new users. We believe that feedback suggests that we continue to be seen as a safe, clean, and welcoming venue with approachable people who are helpful. 

Our Christmas fair was the most successful so far and it raised much needed funds for use in achieving our goals. We wanted to host a car boot sale but uptake was insufficient however we may consider this again for the future. We did reach out to the local Ukrainian community and donated £500 to host a day where they could gather socially and have a pleasant day with food and drink. 

Special thanks go to our committee, which is a small but effective group who steer the halls in the right direction. To that effect we are a safe, inclusive, welcoming and much appreciated facility. 

We have several projects lined up for the following year. High on the agenda is to get the large hall floor repaired, which is in the hands of our insurers. To paint the two kitchens, replace damaged traffic posts, to fit a blackout blind on the small hall kitchen opening as requested by one of the groups, introduce payment by bank transfer, as an option, for our popular Christmas raffle, to replace all external doors with new due to wood rot which has affected all of them to one degree or another. 

We continue to challenge suppliers and have got reduced costs in a number of areas. Obviously, energy is a challenge but we plan to introduce Hive controls to regulate our heating and, hopefully, minimise costs. 



We continue to serve our community in the best way we can and we look forward to seeing new groups use the halls.
