for the Year Ended 31 December 2
Emersons Green Village Hall continues in its objective of promotin8 and providing facilities for recreation or
lelsure activities with the aim of advancing education and improvlng the condition of life for the
community.
This can only be achleved if the Vlllage Hall is profltable. The Tru5tee5 have continuously reviewed costs
and income to enable the objective to be met. The annual accounts show an uplift in income compared to
the prior year due to the actlons undertaken by the collective EGVH team
each person ensures the
cor)tinued sustainability of the Hall.
The Village Hall is an ageing building and repairs and maintenance are increaslng. Grants from various
initiatlves have helped considerably and we see this as an important income source. Thank VOLJ to the
Town Council for some of these grants and to the Company Secretary for the grant applications.
Our priority continues to be the health and safety of our staff, hirers, Customers and the community, We
have had to take a variety of actions throughout the year to ensure people remain safe whilst using the
Village H311.
We have put in place initiatives to further spread the word about the facilities provided by the Village Hall
through additional social media, which is helping generate addltion21 interest.
Some worthwhlle initiatives, include, but are not limited to..
We continued to prioritise health and safety, includlng first 3id trainlng for all staff, flye marshall trainlng
and new fire doors in the maln hall.
We applied for grants in 2023 to renovate the maln hall lincluding new fire doors, decorating and floor
renovation),. thls was completed in January 2024. Thanks to Cllrs Hunt and Emersons Green Town Council.
We successfully applied for funding in 2023 to restart the senior lunches at the beginning of 2024. Thanks
to Southern Coop Winter Fund and Downend Round Table.
We did lots of preparatory work in 2023 that enabled us to deliver projects in 2024, including discussions
with Emersons Green Town Council to work In partnership to deliver a programme of events and actlvities
in Summer 2024.
We held a large public King's Coronation celebration for all the local community, In partnership with
Emerson5 Green Town Council.
We have increased the number and variety of community events run by ourselve5, including many sold
out event5. Our weekly community coffee morning continues to be very successful.
We have increased our volunteer base with 50me amazing people who are helping us grow by regularlv
helping zt the senior lunches and the weekly coffee shop.
Gener31 booklngs for both Parties and Busine55 hire have increased.
We were one of 20 places in Bristol to introduce the Bleed kit5 at venues, which since then has grown
considerably.
Thlngs are starting to look more positive for the Village Hall following the negatlve impa£t of COVID,
however, l and the Trustees believe the model we have in place now, including working with Emersons
Green Town Council, is that the Village Hall is on a more stable financial footlng to enable it to continue
sustainably for the foreseeable future.
The Village Hall 1% such a wonderful benefit to the community through the work undertaken by my fellow
Trustees and most importantly, the staff inc. the volunteers- thank youl
Lastlytr and most importantly, thank you to the community for continuing to Use the Village Hall.
