HAWORTH VILLAGE HALL ASSOCIATION
Providing Community Provision as a Village Hall
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total net assets are £69,231.73, comprising retained earnings and net income. However, the trustees report that the majority of available funds are restricted Towns Fund grants for specific projects and are not available for daily running costs. The charity faces financial difficulty due to rising costs and stagnant funding, with a potential closure date of 31st August 2025 if rental increases are not accepted.
What the accounts disclose
“Provided that all hall users can agree with the increase in pricing we are confident that the hall will be able to cover the general running costs and remain open for the foreseeable future. Obviously if the hall users are not prepared to accept the increase, we estimate that the hall will not be financially to run effectively through another winter and the hall will, most likely, be forced to close and the building will revert to Bradford Council.” — page 7
