In addition to this, his brother Mark who also joined the committee several months before had a stroke and was hospitalized for several months. He is now at home recovering. He is recovering well but still has some way to go yet. However he has still expressed an interest in coming back as a trustee. After the disruption last year with the break in things seem to have settled down, with the main group of youths mainly congregating around the church. Although we have had a few youths in the car park they seem harmless enough. We suspect they are still handling drugs but now they know we have the CCTV up and running, we hardly see them. We discovered a bad leak above the lower hall. The roofers that arrived informed us that someone had been on the roof and some tiles had been damaged and there was a crack in the fiber glass gully. Repairs were done for £990.00 We were waiting for Keith Halligan who originally said he would do the repairs after the break in. However we have had no response from him so have been trying to find an alternative. Tai-chi have begun work on changing the garden to provide a grassed space in the middle. We are still waiting for the new grass seeds to be added. Stately gates repaired the gate into the garden. We have taken down the old curtains in the lower hall but haven’t replaced them yet. **December 2005** **TAR** 3 Achievements and performance We discovered a new leak in the scout den. When we got a roofer in, he informed us that the previous repair was bad and needed to be done properly. As of writing this report we are still waiting for the roof to be repaired. However we are hopeful it will be done before the AGM. We had the Hive heating system fitted in both halls so we can change the heat settings on a mobile phone app (however we haven’t been able to get it to work and Wards don’t seem to know what the problem is). We have had a discussion regarding safeguarding and potential problems for the Halls and trustees if user groups did not comply. We also discussed bad behavior by the groups and the lack of consequences for groups. It was agreed we could ask user groups to take some time off for reflection. **Groups:** We have a new carpet bowling group who came from Trinity Church. They have now renamed themselves St Matthew’s Bowling Group. We have a rugby training group for toddlers called Hindpool Tigers. Poundfit left so Jasmine Grace has taken their slot on Monday night and also started on Thursday nights. She now has 3 slots per week. Endorphins are now regular users on Saturdays. **New Trustees** : Diane Robinson from Beaumont College. Wendy Richardson & Margaret Hetherington from Ballroom Dance (although they cannot attend meetings together). ## **Financial review** It is the Trustees policy to keep £5,000 in reserve to cover the **Brief statement of the** unexpected and to ensure that funds are readily available to meet annual **charity’s policy on reserves** insurance and essential overheads. **December 2005** **TAR** 4 **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising). - How expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity. - Investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Other optional information** ## **Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** **Full name(s)** Colin Bentham **Position (eg secretary, chair,** Secretary **etc) Date** 1 March 2023 **December 2005** **TAR** 5 **St Matthew's Community Halls** **St Matthew's Community Halls No (if any) Receipts and payments accounts CC16a For the period** 1/1/2022 12/31/2022 **To from** ## **Section A Receipts and payments** |||**Unrestricted**
