Achievements and Performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity. |
The programme has continued to provide access for a wide range of activities although COVID restrictions remained in place throughout the early part of the period with cancellation of some events over the Christmas period. Income generated from hire of hall was £8,264. This was in marked contrast to the previous year when income was only £2,075 due to the lockdown. As the year progressed, the regular programme resumed. The current programme includes Tai Chi, Pilates, Yoga, short mat bowls and karate. There is a youth club, a WI and the Welcome Club which provides social and educational activities. There is the Peninsula Carers’ support Group. 2022 saw a busy Annual Village Fete. The hall has also been used to enable special events to take place such as a play production, written and performed by local residents, a classical concert by musicians from the Suffolk Philharmonic Orchestra and a cookery class aimed at the older members of the community. The major event of the year was the Queen’s Jubilee Tea Dance. The professional toastmaster enjoined all to celebrate and commemorate the occasion with music and dancing to represent the decades of the Queen’s reign. The event was a partnership between the village hall committee and Hollesley WI. Mr Les Andrews provided the celebratory cakes. The hall was also used as a staging post for a major cycling event in December. The annual flu jab day with the Peninsula Practice continued to showcase effective partnership working and raise the profile of the hall with non-users. The children’s group sadly had to cancel their planned fund-raising pantomime event due to COVID. They had however, received £10,000 funding from the Lottery as part of their fund-raising efforts for a piece of playground equipment. It should be noted that this grant was returned in the financial year commencing April, 2022 following the Parish Council’s |

confirmation that they had sufficient funds to meet the Play Commissioner’s objective. This year saw the removal of the asbestos/cement roof which was over 50 years old. It was replaced with the help of prisoners from the local prison who were undertaking their NVQ qualification under the training arm of the roof contractor. New insulation was also installed and additional photovoltaic panels were mounted. The roof replacement was funded primarily by grants from East Suffolk, Hollesley Parish Council, Suffolk Community Fund and Bernard Sunley Fund with additional fund-raising in the community. The installation of photovoltaic panels was one of the recommendations made in the report written as part of the Council’s agenda for Hollesley Village to achieve net zero. This installation was primarily funded by The Prince’s Trust Countryside Fund.
