THE SHIPTON-UNDER-WYCHWOOD RECREATION FIELD AND VILLAGE HALL CHARITY

It leases tennis courts to the Wychwoods Tennis Club and operates two football pitches for local children and young people. There is a gym. The hall is used throughout the day and in the evenings by a wide variety of clubs for young and old.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a surplus of £21,343, bringing unrestricted funds to £890,260. The trustees report that the hall usage has been excellent and the charity is in a strong position going into 2025, despite ongoing delays with insurance payments for building damage.
What the accounts disclose
“An essential element in our financial stability is the annual grant given to the Hall by the Parish Council and we would like to thank the Councillors for their continued support each year. We give the Day Centre a 30% reduction in the hall hire fees and this is enabled by the PC grant.” — page 1
