strongest seen since the post lockdown bounce in 2022 where there was incrcas¢d revenues in part due to pent up demaiid following the end of
Covid rcstrictionq.
-l-he ycar wa% one of significancc for the hall as it was the 50ih ye￿. in opei"atii)n. l-he trustccs appointed a sub committcc to orgTknise two
anniversary Celebrations, one evcning fundraiser and an cvent for children in the village. Both provcd to be & huge success. Thcsc events have
undoubtcdly had a positive knock on effect which can bc seeii in particular through the increase in thc number of children's birthday p&rtie.q now
held at thc hall.

2ppI'eciatcd.
The financial peif()rmance so far in 2025 1)as been positive with demand for thc hall ci)ntinuing to strcngtlien. The trustees liavc had to carefully
consider pricing given cost pressui'es and the ongoing necd to maintain the hall to en8ure the facility rcmains something the communsty Can use
and be proud of.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Finaneial position
The charity .qhows an overall increase in funds for the year of £5,049, thc increase is down to thc small trading profit and the unrealised gain on
the hall's investments.
Thc investmeni account has continued to genci'ale income for the hall with dividends of £3,851 in the year. The Investments on balance slicct
totslling £123,092 following unrealised capital growth of £2,719 in the ycar.
The ycar ended with cash on the balance sheet of £30,872, an inci'ease of £10,291 on the prioi. year. This is reflective of underlying trading and
an eletnent of inconie geiierated fiom tlie solai. panels i'e¢¢ived in 2024.
Overall the hall remains on sout]d financial footing.
Reserves policy
As at 31 Deccmber 2024 the charity held unrestricted funds totalling £338,808 (2023 £336,925). Of this £193,952 (2023-£197,861) was held as
fixed assets and £123,092 (2023 £120,373) as an invcslment with the charitics commission. Tl)e investnient with the charities eoinmission has
no restriction on access.
This leaves a surplus of unrests'icted funds of £144,856 (2023 - £140,947)
The Icv¢l of the contingency fund haq been set at £26.000 to cover one year's fixed overhead plus an allowance for the carctaker, water, heat and
light, less the charge for depreciation as this is a non cash expense.
The exts'aOI"dinary I'epairs fund has been set at £ l 0,000 being a general provision.
