ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Usgr overvlew
The village hall ￿ntinUed to provide high quality public space for hire and irthme was steady. albeit reduced in relation to
2022123. This was mostly due to a downtum in the general economy wutting in fewer private events being booked.
However regular hires increased over the year, providing a 9[￿￿1 range of dasses and dubs to interest lor21 peopl8.
Service provlslon
The trustees were keen to expand their community events during the year and a new, free entertainment event was
launched in April 2024. The 'One Night onl￿ show was run by village hall volunteers and attracted a large number of
people keen lo see local musicians perfonn. It is hoFed a simitar event can be repeated in 2024125.
The second season of Light Lunch85 also proved very Suc￿$fUl. attrdcting a regular audience and providing focxl. drlnks
and a wami welcorne to many I￿al people. This was also operated by a wlling and sup[M)￿Ve group of volunteers and
there are plans are to develop and expand this programrne of lunches in 2024125.
A large prolect to commemorale the 80th annwersary of D Day was run in collaboration with two other village groups and
involved Newton Regis Village Hall volunteers providing 8 W8rtbme-themed aftemoon tea. This event was hugely popular
and provided a fftting end to the celebrations.
A new communty line dancln9 dass was Intr(NJuc*d by village hall volunteers and resulted in a very high attendance.
D8mand for this activity is high and it will be repeated in 2024125.
other community Servi￿ induded a d￿1&41 sknlls course and a regular satelltte wst office.
Volunteers
New trustees are constsnlly soughL IFKJugh it remains diffi(wlt to attract peO￿e interested in tsking on responsibilities
of committee roles. However. trustees were very pleased to wdcome an increasing nurnber of volunteers to assist with
community events and services. Th8ir help is greally appreciated.
Inforniation and publiclty
The charity's website and enhanced bcoking system remain important and contribute trj the Charity's 8ixessibilty goals.
The Facebook page is popular vrith over 600 followers. In 2023124 tsvo leallets were prcmjuced and posted on social
media. They were also distributed dwr to door. The first gave infomiation on the dubs. classes and o)mmunity events
regularly organised at the hall. and the second promoted the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

decorating all taking pla(E.
Rosorves pollcy
An active programme of building maintènance is a key pri￿lty for the chaiity, this is $upp)rted by ts reseNes policy.

community projects every year.
