## **’ - Trustees Annual Report 2024 25** Treowen & District Village Hall Charity Commission Number 524309 Treowen Road, Treowen, Gwent NP11 3DP ## **Trustees** Mandy Mitchell Chair Kathleen Rogers Secretary Phyllis Jenkins Treasurer Patricia Williams Trustee Pauline Thomas Trustee Carol Prosser Trustee Christopher Edwards Trustee Christine Edwards Trustee Helen Whitney Trustee New Trustees are recruited at the A.G.M. generally from word of mouth. The Village Hall is for the purpose of the inhabitants of Treowen and District without distinction of political, religious or other opinions. It is used for meetings, lectures and classes and forms of recreation with the objective of improving the life of the said inhabitants. We aim to supply a safe place for all ages of the community locally so that they may hold classes, including, Heart Rehabilitation, Yoga, Martial Arts, Ladies Exercise classes, Line Dancing, Sewing, Newbridge W.I. use it as their office and Slimming World hold 2 groups here every week. As well as birthday parties and meetings at an affordable cost. We also hold two charity coffee mornings every year for various local charities. Our income is raised mainly from rental fees of £8 per hour, we are also well supported by our local shop who hold a box there which is emptied regularly and we have a used book store in the hall where people make donations for books taken. Our total rent has been reduced this year by approximately £1000 but this is because one of the classes has finished. This will be rectified this year as new classes have been introduced. We have been successful in obtaining a Grant from the Welsh Church Fund of £7500 and lottery funding of £20K to have additional parking outside the hall. The total cost, to include CCTV, White lining, New Notice board and the new car park is £28,354.26 leaving a shortfall of £854.26. The council completed a set of steps down to the car park opposite at no cost to us. Ruth Jones, the MP for this area visited the hall to view the new car park. The additional car parking has been well received by those using the Hall and residents find it easier for parking their own cars. We also have received a grant from Gildemeister of £1059 for new flooring in the kitchen. Our Income and Expenditure statement shows a shortfall of £4863.46 but this is because the Grant Money of £7500 was not received until after the Audit took place, in reality we made a profit of £2636.54. This has reduced from last year by £2900 but our utility payments have increased by approximately £1200. We are in the process of negotiating a new contract which should see this figure reduced this year. Bank balances are as follows Current Account £8683.46 Savings Account £ 23266.27 Our assets total £31,949.73 and again this does not include the £7500 grant money. We review the amount held in the Current account at regular meetings and transfer to the savings when the working balance is considered too high.
