## **Pentewan Village Hall Trustees’ Annual Report 2025** Charity Name: Pentewan Village Hall Trust Registration Number: 1096629 Address: Glentowan Road, Pentewan, St Austell, PL26 6DB Trustee Names: Alexander Dowell Ashleigh Dowell Katrina Britton Eileen Dunwell Alison Avery ## **Structure and Management** Pentewan Village Hall Trust is run by a small committee who volunteer their time to help run the village hall premises, which comprises of a small hall, kitchen and WC. There are at least four committee meetings a year with an Annual General Meeting taking place around April, after the accounting period ends in March. It is at these meetings that decisions are made about the upkeep of the building and ideas of how to raise funds for this cause are discussed. Trustees are recruited by word of mouth. In such a small village, news travels fast and potential trustees can register their interest to be considered by the committee if an opening arises. ## **Activities & Objectives** Pentewan Village Hall is an important social hub of the village, allowing local people to enjoy the space and its facilities. The Hall hosts a regular yoga class, coTee mornings, Morris Dancing events and tabletop sales to name a few events. These activities ensure the people of Pentewan Village can stay active and socialise with each other, as there are little other accessible communal facilities in the village, other than outdoors. In the 2024-2025 period, Pentewan Village Hall’s main objectives were to maintain the hall to an acceptable standard and keep funds as stable as possible to ensure our planned events could go ahead. These objectives were achieved by hosting successful themed coTee mornings, a summer gala, several instructor-led sessions and through the hiring of the hall. leading to its main entrance. This was achieved by the committee being able to secure funding from the Levelling Up Fund, which allowed an external lift to be installed. ## **Achievements and Performance** The Hall had a very successful year in achieving its objectives; the residents of the village were able to enjoy various social events and opportunities; the funds did deplete slightly but are still in a stable condition to continue with normal functioning of the hall; and accessibility to the hall was vastly improved with the installation of the new lift to the external steps at the front of the hall and a hearing loop with provisions for microphone amplification provided at the media centre inside the hall. the gatherings can continue in the future, therefore benefiting the residents of the village. Without the hall or its committee, there would be no other events for the residents to attend in such a local proximity. The opportunity to gather with fellow residents at various times throughout the year is greatly appreciated by those who live in the village. Residents who could not access the hall due to the external steps have now been able to be included in hall events, where they might have felt isolated before as they could not attend. The committee does everything it can to include all residents of the village, whatever their needs, and are very proud to have been able to action this improvement. ## **Financial Review** Below is a breakdown of the income and expenses of the charity for 1[st] April 2024 – 31[st] March 2025.
