## **Achievements and Performance** 

SORP reference 



||Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**As the building is over 100 years old**<br>**there continues to be a significant**<br>**requirement  to maintain it. This is under**<br>**constant review and supervision and the**<br>**Trustees are confident that the continued**<br>**well being of the building and its facilities**<br>**can be maintained in the future for the**<br>**benefit of the community. The solar**<br>**panels installed  last year are**<br>**demonstrating the Committee’s**<br>**commitment to a greener future and**<br>**has reduced the Hall’s energy cost**<br>**The Hall’s website continues to inform**<br>**and attract new enquiries. Members of**<br>**the Committee continue to improve the**<br>**on-line booking system that simplifies**<br>**the booking process process, whilst also**<br>**advising users of the terms of hire.**<br>**Unfortunately the Buttercups Pre School**<br>**Nursery had to close for business**<br>**following a change to its government**<br>**grant.**<br>**The premises within the Village Hall**<br>**occupied by the School have now been**<br>**licensed to a local business.**<br>**The Trustees in line with the Charity's**<br>**objectives also continue their formal**<br>**policy of favouring bookings for the**<br>**residents within the parish both in**<br>**priority and pricing terms**||

|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|**There was an operating loss of £4,139**<br>**over the last financial year. The Hall had**<br>**the highest hiring income on record,**<br>**partly due to the 10% increase in hiring**<br>**fees for the last 9 months of the year,**<br>**which mitigated a slight fall in the level of**<br>**ad-hoc booking fees. But the overall**<br>**“loss” largely reflects the investment in**<br>**solar panels. The panels have already**<br>**contributed to lower energy costs for the**<br>**year.**|
