## Annual Report 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 

## Introduction 

St Luke’s Hall is a Registered Charity. The purpose of the Annual Report is to report on the activities of St Luke’s Hall and present the accounts for the year ending  31  December  2024,  in  accordance  with  the  requirements  of  the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). 

## History 

During World War II the Bank of England evacuated much of its workforce from London to its mill in Overton. In 1940 the Bank purchased land between numbers 47 and 57 Winchester Street, and built a social club with a wooden dance floor, toilets, kitchen and bar for the use of its employees. When the workforce left at the end of the war, the Bank donated the freehold to Overton Parish Council and the Hall was presented “to the parishioners of Overton in gratitude for their kindness and hospitality”. 

In 1992 the Hall became a Registered Charity, and a copy of the Governing Document/Constitution with amendments is available on request. 

## Organisation 

St Luke’s Hall is managed by a committee of Trustees. Under the Constitution, the  Management  Committee  can  consist  of  a  maximum  of  nine  Trustee Members. 

Five Representative Members can be appointed by each of the organisations that use the Hall’s facilities. Two representatives are appointed by Overton Parish Council. 

Two further Co-opted Members can be elected at the Annual General Meeting. 



During 2024 seven Trustees managed the Hall. The correspondence address of the Charity  is  St.Luke’s  Hall  Management  Committee,  St.Luke’s  Hall,  49-55 Winchester Street, Overton, Hampshire RG25 3HT 

Overton Parish Council is the “Custodian Trustee” of the Charity and the registered  address  of  the  Charity  is  therefore:  St.  Luke’s  Management Committee, c/o The Parish Office, Overton Community Centre, High Street, Overton, Hampshire. RG25 3HB 

The Charity’s bank accounts are administered by HSBC Bank Ltd, 8 London Street, Basingstoke. Hampshire. RG21 7NU 

## Objectives 

The object of the Charity as set out in the Deed and Constitution is: 

“the  provision  and  maintenance  of  a  village  hall  for  the  use  of  the inhabitants of the Parish of Overton….. without distinction of political, religious  or  other  opinions,  including  use  for  meetings,  lectures  and classes, and for other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants” 

## Activities and Finance 2024 

The Hall welcomed a variety of hirers, including Taekwondo, Short Mat Bowls,  Community Church,  and towards  the  end of  the  year  Overton Preschool. In addition there were various social functions. 

During 2020, the Seven Acres development (built by Bargate Homes) was completed and S106 funding amounting to £102,000 was made available. 

The Trustees agreed during the year that now would be an opportune time to undertake major improvements to the building and its facilities. 

Works carried out financed from S106 SIL funding, included a new kitchen, improved  male  and  female  toilet  facilities,  the  installation  of  external boundary fencing together with landscaping work. Other smaller works were undertaken. 

At  the  year  end  Basingstoke  and  Deane  BC  confirmed  that  they  still retained £14,709.21 for the Hall to use for appropriate works. 

Planned works carried out from our own resources principally involved redecorating the entire Hall. Improvements to lighting were made.
