Objectives and activities
The charitable purposes of the Company are the provision and maintenance of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of Woodbury, Devon and the surrounding area (“the area of benefit”) without distinction of political, religious or other opinions.
Main activities under taken for public benefit
The hall is available for (a) Meetings, lectures and classes, and (b) Other forms of recreation and leisuretime occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants in the area of benefit. The above purposes are the Company’s charitable purposes for the purposes of the Charities
Act 2011. For as long as the company is a registered charity, its purposes may only be altered with the prior consent of the Charity Commission and in accordance with any conditions attached to such consent.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Charity was established under a Declaration of Trust dated 28 November 2013 as an unincorporated association and was registered with the Charities Commission on 8 January 2014. The Charity is managed by the Board of Directors. There must be at least 3 Directors. One third or, if not a multiple of 3, the nearest to one third must retire from office annually in rotation. In selecting individuals for appointment as directors/Trustees, the Directors must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the Charity. All Directors give their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year. The day to day running and administration of the charity is undertaken jointly by the Directors.
Public Benefit Statement
The Directors confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charities Commission. The Directors are confident that the aims and objectives of the Charity as set out in the Mission Statement above deliver a clear public benefit to the community.
Main achievements in 2022
After a year of interruptions due to Covid restrictions in 2021 the hall has been open for normal usage from February. Bookings were quick to return to normal and revenue was back to pre pandemics levels at £25000, an increase of £10000 over last year. With efficient management the hall has been used by local groups and individuals for an average of 60 hours per week. During the year one outside door blew off its hinges in a storm resulting in an insurance claim and a new door. Following the jubilee the village was presented with a copy of an original portrait of the Queen painted by a local artist, this was placed in the main hall. Also an exhibition of memorabilia of Rev Keble Martin a former resident of Woodbury was placed in the Du Buisson Room
Financial review
There was an increase in rental income to £24932 (an increase of £10000), a Covid grant of £2667, general expenditure of £21688 ensuring an overall excess of £6057. £6000 was invested in COIF accumulation fund, giving a reserve fund of £16368 with CCLA.
The Directors wish to use the annual income to improve the hall for the benefit of the whole community, thus reserves are limited to sufficient to cover foreseeable contingencies estimated at £16000.
