Aberthin Village Hall

Aberthin Village Hall is of local historic interest, being the second oldest Weslian Chapel in Glamorgan. Apart from preserving the fabric of this historic building, it is a centre for Aberthin Village activities with both organised events and private hiring. Amongst others, a children's playgroup meets daily in the Hall, and it is used on 2 Sundays per month for a village religious service.

The places the charity told the Commission it works in.

In the year ending 31 December 2025, it had income of £16,750 and spent £13,575.

Figures as the charity reported them to the Charity Commission. Staff and volunteer numbers are only asked of charities with income over £10,000. A year with no row was not reported.

Separate measures from the charity's own returns and accounts, each with its year. Read them together: no single measure says how well a charity is run.

Income over time

Up 60%, from £10,456 in the year to 31 December 2021 to £16,750 in the year to 31 December 2025.

Spending against income

It spent 81% of its income in the year to 31 December 2025. It spent less than its income in each of the 5 years shown.

From the annual returns the charity filed with the Charity Commission. The largest funder comes from its accounts, read by AI.

Government grants in the year ending 31 December 2025: Not reported. Government contracts: Not reported.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 1 grant to this charity, worth £11,000, awarded in 2014.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.

Public bodies' published spending shows 1 payment to this charity worth £2,925, on 2 February 2022.

Councils and Welsh Government publish what they pay suppliers and grant holders above a threshold, usually £500 for councils and £25,000 for Welsh Government, so smaller payments are missing. A payment is shown only when OpenEconomy matched it to this charity with certainty. These figures come from the payer's records. They are a separate measure from the charity's own accounts, 360Giving grants and its annual return, and are never added to them.

11 trustees run the charity.
