Section D Achievements and performance
2020 started with all regular groups meeting at the hall along with a small number of casual bookings for children’s parties and the like. Summary of the main With the spread of Covid and the Government’s decision to enter achievements of the charity Lockdown, the hall was forced to close on 23rd March. It remained during the year closed through Lockdown 1 with a limited re-opening during the later summer months. Precautions were taken to ensure that the hall was “Covid-safe” allowing some groups to return during this period. In November there was a further national lockdown and the hall closed to all users except the regular Pre-School booking. As a consequence, hall hire income dropped from £27,600 in 2019 to just under £14,000 in 2020. This loss was counteracted by Government grants made under the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure category which totalled £11,968. In addition, the caretaker has been furloughed and claims paid which have met the majority of his wages during the year. Costs have been closely monitored and kept to a minimum. Whilst the closure of the hall has been very disappointing for the user groups, it is hoped that once restrictions are finally lifted, they will return.
