Strumpshaw Neighbourhood Trust (CIO) charity number 1162573
Annual Report 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021
Overview
The Strumpshaw Neighbourhood Trust was formed in July 2015. Its terms of reference include establishing, or securing the establishment of, a community centre for Strumpshaw. This includes supporting Strumpshaw Parish Council in the provision of a community hall in Strumpshaw. The Trust also has the power to promote activities to support recreation, education and leisure time pursuits in Strumpshaw.
Strumpshaw Parish Council took responsibility for the new Strumpshaw Community Hall in March/April 2020 and managed the hall through a committee of the Parish Council. The operation of the Community Hall was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Community Hall was able to open in a restricted fashion for three months but was closed for the remainder of the year under review.
Strumpshaw Neighbourhood Trust was able to support the hall’s running costs through obtaining grants and donations that were passed in their entirety to Strumpshaw Parish Council. These were to support the operational costs of the Community Hall.
