Morley Village & Sports Hall Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2022
Objectives of the Charity
The hall aims to be ‘a place for all’ in the community and we, the Trustees, hope the range of facilities and activities adequately reflects the needs and aspirations of those who wish to come together to spend some of their social, educational or leisure time at their village hall:
-
Provision of a village hall for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Morley without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions
-
Use of the village hall for sports, meetings, training, workshops, private functions, lectures, club and classes or other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the social conditions of the life of the inhabitants
The Trustees consider these objectives to be consistent with Charity Commission guidance on providing for the public benefit as shown in the list of activities pursued this year.
Principal Activities in Pursuit of Objectives
The hall is in use most days of the week for a variety of regular activities including Badminton, Table Tennis, Climbing, Cricket, Zumba, Karate, Judo, Morley Youth Football Club, Baby, Toddler and Pre-School Sessions and Fitness Classes. The Hall is also used for sports, weddings, children’s parties, private functions, events and business.

The hall retained more than 30 groups and individuals using the premises on either a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis in 2022/23.
Every booking and user group are important, and the hall benefits from a significant number of recurring bookings, but a careful watch is required on the implications for the hall if these should vary.
Grant income was £26,362 with grants from The Geoffrey Watling Charity, Awards for All, Doric Lodge, Local Giving, Norfolk Community Foundation, SNDC Members Ward Grant and SNDC Warm Spaces Grant.
The Trustees are pleased with the outcomes of 2022/23 and are grateful to all the hirers, donors and supporters who make it financially possible, to the dedication of those who help run it so ably, in particular Trevor Sturman and Jen Sands and the support of those who use it. The Trustees will strive to continue to run and manage it successfully but a key aim must be for more people to join and succeed us in this work.

My exaM1rtiOn was c3rried out in accordance with General Dlrections glven by the Charity Commissioners. An examination indudes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparlson of the accounts presented with those recorts. It also indudes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeklng explanations from the trustees concemlng any such matters. The proureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit. and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
