HODDESDON AND DISTRICT OLD PEOPLE'S WELFARE COMMITTEE
The charity acts as a managing committee for two halls. These halls are used for various clubs mainly for older persons. We have now started letting the halls be used for youth clubs and to learn ballroom dancing.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity achieved a net surplus of £16,311, resulting in an increase in cash funds to £51,722. The trustees report that the charity has no employees and is managed by volunteer members, with no trustees receiving remuneration. While a major refurbishment lottery bid was unsuccessful, the charity has revised its plans to proceed in phases.
What the accounts disclose
“The improved receipts, £49,511 vs £37,093 (+33.5%), reflected the very good use of both halls, a modest increase in the hall hire rates and the retention of all of our regular users. Donations increased, mainly from a donation by the Rosehill Bowls Club.” — page 1
