Summary of the main Para 1.20 Recruitment of a replacement
achievements of the Marketing Trustee has proved
charity, identifying the impossible. This remains an ever
difference the charity’s higher priority as the hall is
work has made to the allowed to reopen after the
circumstances of its pandemic and new sources of
beneficiaries and any income are needed. Reluctance of
wider benefits to society residents to become trustees is of
as a whole. concern. The vacancies for
Nominated trustees representing
The Flower Circle and the
Parochial Parish Council were
unfilled, and a replacement
Chairman will be required from the
2021 AGM. Despite months of
effort there has been, to date, no
interest from anyone in taking up
this position.
A grant of £900 was received from
Derbyshire County Council to
cover the cost of refinishing the
hall floor. A grant of £1300 was
received from The Duke of
Devonshire’s Charitable trust (in
March 2020), which, together with
a donation of £450 from the
Baslow WI, covered much of the
cost of a roller shutter in the
kitchen, which is required for H
and S purposes.
Cleaning and grass cutting costs
have been kept to minimum whilst
being conscious of the importance
of the appearance of the interior
and exterior of the premises and
the extra cleaning costs
associated with pandemic Health
and Safety requirements. A new
**----- End of picture text -----**
**contractor was hired for grass cutting. For any new work carried out, tenders are sought before decisions are made. We are grateful to our volunteers and trustees for carrying out various essential duties eg Fire checks, garden maintenance etc. The exterior appearance has become increasingly important as we endeavour to increase bookings for events, such as wedding receptions and family gatherings, which utilise the garden area for photographs and socialising but internal and external projects have been put on hold until the pandemic is over and revenue returns. The volunteer Grants Officer has been invaluable, as obtaining grants for maintenance becomes ever increasingly important. . We have continued to operate under the same governance structure, which was introduced to accommodate the increasing complexity of running such an operation effectively and the demands on volunteers’ time. The Finance, Administration and Premises Sub Committees have operated effectively. This structure has enabled a more inclusive, efficient and effective operation which benefits the hall and its objectives. The replacement Secretary Trustee, who were elected at the AGM, has made an outstanding contribution to the overall running of the organisation. She has worked with the Treasurer Trustee to update and computerise booking and organisational records and policy documents. Thanks to the diligence of our Treasurer Trustee, we have obtained various government pandemic grants and despite very limited income since March 2020, have concluded the year with a healthy balance of £33,173 in the bank.**
**I would like to thank all the**
**trustees and helpers who have willingly given their time and expertise during this extremely difficult year. It is a situation never previously encountered which has required decisions to made, often at short notice because of the rapidly evolving pandemic. We recognise that it is a wonderful community facility which is vital to village life and are committed to sustaining it for the future. Hazel Wills 19/04/21**
