WHALLEY VILLAGE HALL COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION Charity Number 1023635
Trustees’ Report for 2023/24
The year 2023/24 has been one of consolidation for the Association, without significant change to its modus operandi. The main aim of the Association is to offer the facilities of the Hall to the local community and voluntary groups for their own purposes and to encourage the development of other social and recreational activities within the Whalley area. Rental for the use of Hall’s facilities is the main source of income for the Trust.
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 in the reporting year, we operate a rolling programme of renovation throughout the year. Capital expenditure was incurred with the installation of a stair lift to allow disabled persons to have access to an upper room in the Village Hall, which an otherwise only be accessed by a staircase.
The Trustees are aware of the importance of using some of its accumulated funds to provide financial support for other activities which contribute to the social fabric of Whalley. In the current year (2023/24), we were able to offer financial assistance to the local church for the restoration of the peal of bells. Our contribution was used to provide a muffling system which is designed to reduce the impact of the external noise during practice sessions This was a source of irritation with some local residents. The re-hung and renovated bells rang out again in July 2024.
