Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity delivered a surplus for the year, though this has plateaued at just above £6,000. The Trustees anticipate a deficit for the upcoming year due to exceptional expenditure on battery storage, repainting, and legal fees for converting to a CIO, which is expected to reduce overall funds to around £30,000. Despite these challenges and the need to replace key personnel, the Trustees remain confident in the hall's viability.
What the accounts disclose
“underpinned by our core regular hirers and the successful resident events organised by the Volunteer group.” — page 2
“No progress has been made with HUC in acquiring either the freehold or extending the lease term for the land upon which both Fairfield Green and the hall are located. Several meetings were held with HUC and HPC in 2024 to try and progress the matter and it has been left in the hands of HUC to come to a decision about committing some funds to obtain legal fee estimates for disposing of their assets.” — page 2
