2. Structure Governance and Management

2.1 Governing Document

The Memorial Hall is a registered charity governed by its constitution, which was lodged with the Charities Commission on 14[th] May 2001.

2.2 Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

(i) The overall management and control of the Memorial Hall rests with the individual members of its management committee who are the charity trustees of the Memorial Hall.

(ii) The appointment of trustees is governed by the provisions contained within the

constitution. These are as follows: -

The committee shall consist of a chairman, a vice-chairman and a treasurer and not less

than 2 and not more than 12 members.

The Executive Committee may in addition appoint not more than 4 co-opted members.

All members of the Executive Committee shall retire from office together at the end of the annual general meeting next after the date on which they came into office but they may be re-elected or re-appointed.

2.3 Major Risks

(i) Lack of people wishing to rent the premises to make the running of the Memorial Hall viable.

(ii) Lack of volunteers willing to be trustees.

3. Objectives and Activities

The Charity’s objects (“the objects”) are the provision and maintenance of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of the Parish of Slyne with Hest and the surrounding area, without distinction, including use for meetings, lectures and classes and other forms of education, recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants.

4. Achievements and Performance

The outside of the Hall was painted
The old chairs have been replaced with new ones in the main hall and the old chair trolley has been replaced
A new tea trolley has been purchased
The Covid-19 safety requirements have been in place in the Hall and this has enabled the Pre-School to continue and also other groups when there was no lockdown.

5. Financial Review

We were very fortunate to have received a Business Support Grant of £8,000 and a Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant of £2667 from the Lancaster City Council to compensate for our loss of income and our commitment to paying fixed expenses.
The Business Support Grants have enabled the Hall to limit our loss this year to £1,896, due in large part to being in credit of £856 on our gas bill, which will be carried forward to next year.
The hours when the Hall was booked are as follows:

	Year	Small Hall Main Hall	Small Hall Main Hall	Mawson Room	Total
	2021-22	1,469 833			6
2,308

	2017-18	1,603	1,267	834	3,704

Hall has now reserves of £39,298.26 to meet future liabilities.
