What the accounts disclose

Largest income source: Private Parties (20% of income)
“Our largest source of income comes from one-off hall hires for children's and adults' celebrations, as well as art and performing arts events to name just a few.”
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Reserves policy: We have set aside reserves for essential repairs. The building is over 100 years old, and the uninsulated main hall is costly to heat. lts high ceiling needs replacing, which will require extensive scaffolding and specialist work. The hall's external render also needs attention. Our priority has been to maintain the building's structure, keep it watertight and preserve the hall's interior. The committee has agreed to allocate up to 50% of our reserves to replacing and insulating the main hall ceiling. (reserves figure: £30k)
