Annual Trustees’ Report
Snitterfield Village Hall Trustees
For the year ended 31 March 2025
The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Activities and Achievements
During the year, works to the new village hall annex were completed. The annex is now in use and operating as intended. The village hall continues to be well used, with regular bookings and village events throughout the year.
Financial Review
Total income for the year was £61,694 (2023–24: £166,525). Income in the previous year included significant grant funding, which was not repeated in 2024–25. Income from regular bookings remained broadly consistent.
Total expenditure for the year was £165,088 (2023–24: £105,277). This included redevelopment costs associated with the completion of the annex.
The accounts show a deficit for the year of £103,394 (2023–24: surplus £61,247). This reflects the planned use of funds to complete capital works.
At 31 March 2025, total assets stood at £36,530 (31 March 2024: £138,558).
Reserves
The Trustees consider that the level of reserves at the year end is appropriate, taking into account the completion of the annex works and the ongoing operation of the village hall.
Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to prepare accounts in accordance with applicable charity accounting requirements and continue to manage the village hall for the benefit of the community.
