Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Following a difficult two years due to Covid restrictions, the hall returned to full usage during 2022 and bookings from both regular user groups and casual hirers remain strong.

The last Government grant given under the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure scheme was received in early 2022. Part of this grant was used for major tree and hedge cutting work, improving the outside appearance of the hall and its recreation field.

A grant was received for the purchase of air purifiers and these were installed in the hall during the year.

Improved lighting was installed in the car park making it safer and more pleasant when users leave the hall at night. Free superfast internet connection of 900MB was installed by Gigaclear, as part of a national Government scheme. This is now available for use by all hall hirers.

Costs continued to be closely monitored and controlled.
