## **WHALLEY VILLAGE HALL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION Charity Number 1023635** ## **Trustees’ Report for 2022/23** Following the reduction in activity during the COVID19 epidemic, we are pleased to report that the level of activity in the Whalley Village Hall has been restored during the last financial year to what it was before the epidemic. The continuing aim of the Association is to offer the facilities of the Hall to the local community and voluntary groups for their own purposes. The range of activities is wide, from the educational to recreational: from toddlers’ groups to a woodcarving group to Zumba and Pilates classes and Scottish Country Dancing. Rental for the use of Hall’s facilities is the main source of income for the Trust. The Hall Committee organises regular social events for the local community (the so-called First Saturday events). These are popular events and regularly attract audiences of 100 or more. Whenever possible the organisers use local performers from the field of music, comedy and drama. Maintaining the fabric of the Village Hall is seen by the Trustees as essential for the future and while no major reconstruction of the building has taken place, we operate a rolling programme of renovation and furniture improvements throughout the year. The Trustees are aware of the importance of using some of its accumulated funds to provide financial support for other ventures which contribute to the social fabric of Whalley. In the current year, we were able to offer assistance to the Whalley Old Grammar School Foundation with the maintenance of its buildings. This historic building is a prominent feature in Whalley and is now used by a number of voluntary groups in the village. However, the maintenance of its elderly buildings is very high and beyond the scope of the Foundation’s annual income. The Trustees feel that support of this nature lies within our constitutional powers of public benefit. The Trustees have also provided support to a recently formed Ribble Valley First Aiders. This back-up emergency response group is based in the Village and provides first aid support at major incidents, cover at local events and first aid training in the community. We ask that recipients of funding provide the Trustees with a report of how the money has been used. The following is part of a report the Head of the local primary school on the extension to the Forest School, which had been made possible by a grant from the Village Hall’s reserves in the 2022/23 financial year. “When I spoke to the committee, I outlined that the area behind our Forest School was an untapped resource. The biggest hurdle for bringing the area back into use was that it was not secure as the existing fence was decrepit and was not an effective barrier for the children. With the site secured, a polytunnel was erected early in the spring along with some planters and the children have grown onions, potatoes and garlic over the summer and at Forest School sessions in September, the children harvested the crops, chopped and cooked them – producing some very tasty onion bhajis. Some money was also spent on timber to construct a mall shed, weed membrane and bark to create a seating area for the children. The pupils have really enjoyed working in and helping to develop the new area and none of this would have been possible without the donation from the committee. We can now deliver aspects of the science curriculum more effectively.” ||**Charity Name**
