identifying the difference the

work has made to

ofits
beneficiaries
and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Throughout
the period of COVID, the Hall has
never fully closed to hirers.
This has been
achieved
by time-consuming
and painstaking
management
by a specially formed Recovery
Sub Committee.
A small family business
continued to distribute
hot lunches tothe

every single day, and the pre-
school restarted forthe autumn
term. Where
possible, and in strict accordance with
Government
restrictions,
a few regular hirers
were also able to return.
Many ofour regular
users hope to return soon.
In line with the Char'ity's
objectives, the
trustees have continued
a formal policy of
favouring
bookings forthose residents
within
the parish both in priority and pricing terms.
There continues to be a signih'cant
requirement
to maintain the standards
ofour
building
which is now well over 100years old.
Fortunately,
during this COVD time of
drastically
reduced income there have been
few urgent repairs necessary.
However, the
Trustees are confident that the continued
well-
being ofthe building
and its facilities can be
maintained
in the future forthe community.
The professionally
run website continues to
inform and attract new enquiries
and be kept
ofabreast modern technology.
Much ofthe
previous
hardcopy

involved
in
formalising
bookings has now been placed on
the website, the process simplified,

initiative to update
and digitise the

ofbookings consolidated.
