Village Hall premises
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that cash at bank was £53,077, with £12,954 held in a reserve account to cover financial risks such as loss of hire income and urgent maintenance. The trustees note that using general funds to subsidize hire fees has been unsustainable, as hire fees do not cover running costs, resulting in a deficit each year. Future plans include seeking grant funding for continued refurbishment to enhance the hall's longevity.
