Norton Village Hall, Suffolk
Annual Report of Trustees, to end March 2022
Key operating markers for FY Apr 2021 – Mar 2022 were :-
-
‘Lockdown’ ended and we were able to re-open our Village Hall in July 2021
-
We received a final ‘re-opening’ Covid grant of £8,000 from the government
-
Hiring fees rebounded from a poor previous year at £2,363 to a healthier £8,942
-
Back in February 2021 we received planning permission approval from Mid-Suffolk District Council for our proposed development and extension of the village hall which is designed to transition the premises to ‘community centre’ status. Our fundraising activities in support of this project have been placed on hold due to our initial dependence on the receipt of a PWLB loan. Unfortunately, our local Parish Council has been reluctant to support us in this endeavour and now, approaching 2 years later, it looks as if we are going to have to abandon the project altogether.
Our team of volunteer Trustees dropped to just 6 at one stage as a result of protracted difficulties with our Parish Council. We have recovered to 9 recently, with the potential to add 2 more in the New Year 2023
For and on behalf of the Trustees,
Philip J Jefferson
