The charity is constituted as a charitable trust. The trustees are responsible for managing the charity in accordance with its governing document and charity law.
Trustees are appointed or elected in accordance with the governing document. New trustees are briefed on the charity’s purposes, village hall operations, safeguarding and health and safety responsibilities, financial controls, and the Charity Commission’s guidance on trustee duties.
Section C: Objectives and Activities
The charity’s objects are to provide and maintain a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of the parish of Southwick and Widley and the surrounding neighbourhood, without distinction of political, religious or other opinions. The hall is available for meetings, classes, recreation, social activities, community events and other forms of charitable community use.
The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims, planning activities and setting hire arrangements. The hall provides accessible facilities that support community participation, reduce social isolation, and enable local groups, residents and volunteers to meet and organise activities for public benefit. In recent hot weather it has provided a “cool space” for older residents.
Section D: Achievements and Performance
During the year, the trustees continued to operate and maintain the hall as a community facility. Regular users included local clubs, band practices, fitness classes, parish council meetings, children’s activities, social groups and private hirers. The
