Report for accounts ending March 31st 2024 

Mr. Richard Bridges audited the accounts provided by former Treasurer, Stella Douglas. 

Slaley Commemoration Hall had an opening balance of £35,233.66 at 31/3/2023, and by 31/3/2024 it had a closing balance of £16,769 

## **Solar & Battery Storage** 

The solar and battery storage became effective during this financial year and power is being exported to the grid.  £18,336.50 was the 65% of battery cost in May 23 followed by £6,000 transferred and finally £5,821 in August (final 10% of battery cost and £3,000 for cabinet to store batteries).  An area of hardstanding was also constructed for the battery cabinet to stand on safely outside the main building.  A grant of £10,665.00 in July from Tees Valley Combine (Northeast & Yorkshire Net Zero Hub) was received towards the solar and battery storage. 

## **Repairs** 

The building celebrated its 100[th] birthday in December 2022 unfortunately any 100-year-old building suffers from unexpected repairs.  The ridge tiles on both west and east gables began to leak water internally resulting in a £4,200 roofing invoice followed by £600 for internal decoration.  Guttering to the south was replaced in September costing £1560.  Lightfoot two invoices were £813.  A replacement welcome plaque inside the main door recorded the 100year renovations.  Materials for the decking £1290.18 Jackson Timber in March 2024.  This increased expenditure in running costs explains the difference between 2023 and 2024. 

## **Income:** 

A second Christmas Fair in November 2023 with proceeds ring-fenced towards curtains. £600 of this was spent in August 2023 for Community Room window blinds. 

Snack and Chat, each fortnight between October and April brought in an additional £430 compared to 2023. 

SCH 200 Club had a shortfall of £37 compared to 2023. 

£1,000 in August was a grant towards the Decking. 

## **Facilities:** 

Decking at the rear of the Hall has been completed, thanks to a £1000 Community Chest grant in August 2023 plus several small grants and work undertaken FOC by a community group. 

Acoustics remain a problem in both meeting rooms and will need to be address in the coming months. 

## **Hire income:** 

An increase in bookings using two rooms, resulted in the increase of hire income.

Secretary for Slaley Commemoration Hall January 2025
