Chairman/Trustee Report for Charity Commission Report ‘24/’25
Mike Green, Chairman & Trustee
I start with some sad news just a�er the last AGM when Sue Crampton died a�er a ba�le with cancer. We are grateful for all the many years she was on our commi�ee.
Then on the 5th of January 2025 a tree fell on the hall from the planta�on by the side of the hall (which is owned by owned by the Homes & Communi�es Agency (Land Title WK476729). Insurers were contacted and a claim registered. We were unable to contact the Agency but passed details onto the insurers. Thanks to Rob it was sorted, and the insurance paid for the repairs to the roof and damage to the ceiling.
We have had the hall painted to keep it in good condi�on. It was done by Bill Boyce for £1,480 plus VAT. We had the heater by the stage replaced and because we had had objects on the heater on the ceiling a cage was fi�ed above it for safety.
check found a few problems but nothing too serious, just repairs to the emergency ligh�ng.
Following a professional Fire Risk Assessment, we made changes to areas of the Hall and spent £3,500 on a fire alarm system to keep us up to date with planned regula�ons.
Large par�es have been a problem at the Hall recently, with people leaving the hall in a serious mess. A�er one of them, Michelle, had to repaint part of the wall. So, we have decided no more large par�es as we have enough income from the regulars and small bookings.
I must thank my commi�ee for all their support and hard work they have put in to keep this hall running, especially Michelle for her first full year as booking secretary as she is in the hall a lot with her keep-fit sessions, she spots problems early which is a great help.
Summary of Accounts:
Income increased from £32,604 in 2024 to £35,896 this year. The increase is due to the increase in both Regular and Casual bookings.
Expenditure increased from £19,242 in 2024 to £27,760. The increase is due mainly to higher general maintenance costs and the installa�on of a fire alarm.
