The past year have been difficult with the energy costs continuing to increase and due to the cost-of-living crisis, this driving up expenditure across the different areas of expenditure; for example, water, gas, electric, broadband. We are in the process of becoming more sustainable and finding alternative ways of managing the increase in bills which will drive us into the future; for example, through the meals of solar panels which will come in 2025 with the national lottery grant and moving some of our costs to electric which will use solar energy reducing our costs as a charity which should help us in the long term. Income from sections has been helpful but the increase in the bar and the hall hire has significantly helped this year thanks to our committee members. The contract for the nursery is undergoing negotiation and an increase in the rental space should also help us to drive up figures next year and be in an even better position. ## Public Benefit Our charity exists to provide a space in which local people can come together for a range of activities and can become a community. We now have a range of activities for the local community, including; Scouts, Showgroup, Knit and Natter, Table Tennis, Thursday Club and Slimming World. We also have interest from a new SEN group that are looking to begin with us that should increase our support further to the local community and Guide Dogs. The Community are more invested than they were previously as we now host more venue hire for parties and dance clubs than we ever have and this is driving up numbers for the clubs we invest into the community.
