Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity recorded a deficit of £3,532 in 2024, reflecting deliberate expenditure on modernisation funded partly by grants and reserves. Per the Treasurer’s report, the hall currently runs at a modest loss and requires support from grants and reserves to break even, though plans are in place to increase income through higher hire charges and events. The trustees maintain unrestricted reserves of approximately £41,689, which they consider sufficient to cover their stated policy target of between £25,000 and £45,000.
