r| |---|---|---|---| |Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year|||As noted
in our previous
report,
the position as of 31-10-21 was thai
ECHO was
liaising
with
Salford
Council
to try to establish
when
the
various repairs to the building
would
be completed.| ||||In the first months
of 2022 negotiations
with Salford Council allowed the| ||||final
repairs
and
restoration
of the
hall to be completed.
The
landing| ||||carpet, damaged
by a roof leak, was replaced
and the floor of the hall| ||||sanded
and
then
varnished
to
fully
return
the
hall
to
its
previous| ||||condition.| ||||Our principal
achievement
for the year was re-establishing
contact
with| ||||our
Trustees
and
Volunteers
and
putting
in
place
the
necessary| ||||organisation
to permit
reopening
the
hall
with a busy
programme
of| ||||events,
following
such a prolonged
period of inactivity.
It is thanks to the| ||||enthusiasm
of the Volunteers
that this went so well. The Trustees were| ||||able to provide a buffet lunch and social event with the Volunteers
to say
'| ||||a well-deserved
'thank you.| ||||ln addition
to the events quoted
in Section C above, ECHO were able to| ||||support
the first Eccles Festival
to be held
after the Covid
lockdowns,| ||||running
a popular
cafe with performances
by a local Yemeni
traditional| ||||dance
group,
the
Barton
Belles acapella
group,
the
Barton
Theatre| ||||Company
and a number of Salford poets.| ||||Finally,
with
these
and
some
more
commercial
events,
ECHO
have| ||||managed
to maintain
ourselves
financially
and io have
sufficient
funds| ||||available
for further development
and improvement
ofthe venue.| ##
