Achievements and Performance SORP reFw The local groups identified in the summary of the main activities all benefited from the use of the village hall, recreation centre and tea rooms. Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. Pwa 1.20 Due to our buoyant bookings and reliable Children's Centre income we have sutvived the eye watering increases in maintenance and utility costs. negated to a certain exlenl by Government support in respect of the latter. We thus remain in a healthy financial position. We do need lo address the question of the current bank balance in order lo relain our Business Rate Exemption. The flat roof repairs should be completed shortly at an approximate cost of £1500 and we will be seeking quotations for the redecoration of the hall. which. apart from some touch-ups has not been done since the major renovation look place. Two of our major fix costs are for insurance and eleclricily, both of which we cannot manage without, and both of which we are at the mercy of external markels. We employ brokers who annually review our insurance costs to ensure Ihal we have the best possible cover al the most competitive price. I do not see major reductions in our ulilily costs in the foreseeable future, and maybe we should investigate solar panels as a Sour for surplus funds. Such expense may be high, bul the benefit would be long-lerm and may contribute lo reducing future charges to our hirers. We can cover Ihis issue in the business meeting following this AGM. I'm disappointed to report the change of status lo a Charitable Incorporated Organisalion ICIO} has not been completed. This is entirely due lo the inertia on the part of the Solicitors. Unfortunately, the Director of Hodgkinsons with whom we were dealing has now departed. The new man, Ben Neal, who I know from his previous position with Tin Criddle Solicitors, seems lo have a little more enthusiasm and we will continue to push the matter lo see il to completion.
It was my intention to retire this year, but I'm prepared lo stay on to see this matter through. This is of course, unless anybody else is eager to replace me. on again. I would like lo thank Sue, Karly and Lisa for their continued support.
