achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**The Community Club and its**
**surroundings provided a sporting venue**
**for several organisations in the village**
**over the year including Walking Netball,**
**Netball, Tennis, Football, Indoor bowls,**
**Pilates, Karate, both Adults and**
**Childrens Dance classes, Cycle clubs,**
**training and a running event. The new**
**MUGA was officially opened in**
**September but came into use earlier in**
**the year. It is used on a daily basis for a**
**variety of sports. These all offer the**
**opportunity for local residents to take**
**part in physical activity and to meet**
**likeminded people and is therefore**
**important in maintaining the physical and**
**mental wellbeing of local residents.**
**The building had two rooms that could be**
**hired out, the main hall and the smaller**
**studio. The hire charges are used to help**
**pay for the running costs of the hall. Over**
**the year rooms were hired out for a**
**variety of educational and social**
**purposes. These included Craft sessions,**
**Dog First Aid, Dog training, Bridge, Art**
**classes, and our own Trustee Meetings**
**and Events Committee Meetings. The**
**venue provides a large and competitively**
**priced location for hire for a number of**
**larger social events over the year, making**
**holding a party more affordable. These**
**have included a wedding, many**
**christenings and birthday parties, a wake,**
**a ceilidh, monthly country music nights,**
**a bingo night in conjunction with the**
**local primary school’s PTA, Blues nights**
**where acts were showcased from North**
**America, and a modern Jive club.**
**The Trustees and our volunteers also**
**hosted several events over the course of**
**the year in order to raise funds for the**
**ongoing running costs of the Club, these**
**included an Abba night, a viewing of a**
**Rugby World Cup match, a fundraiser for**
**Ukraine, Fair weather Fridays where local**
**families come to the club to mix with**| **friends and enjoy a pizza and a drink together on summer evenings, a Jubilee party, a Family Fun Day and Beer Festival, and Bonfire Night fireworks and celebrations , together with four Car Boot Sales, and a Table Top Sale. The club was also host to a Cheshire Rural Touring Arts production. At nearly all of these events a bar is in operation in order to enhance the funds that are raised for our Charity. These large social events are a great opportunity for the village to come together and enjoy the Club and what it offers, they are well supported and enjoyed by the village. Over the course of the year the Trust were grateful to receive grant funding both from Cheshire West and Chester Council and the local Parish Council. A grant from the Big Lottery has greatly assisted with improvements to the building. Improvements have included upgraded shower and changing facilities, cavity wall insulation, the new heating system was completed, new ceilings, and provision of solar panels to the roof, all of which make the Club more sustainable. From the funds that the Club raised itself outdoor furniture has been replaced, and the bar received a facelift including a new glass washer and till.** ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

**soon after this we became aware of a**
**significant issue with the stability of the**
**pitched roof over the main hall. As a**
**result of this the main hall has had to be**
**closed and therefore our income stream**
**has reduced. At this point in time (August**
**23) the Trustees are trying to establish**
**what work will need to be carried out to**
**the roof and how to raise the necessary**
**capital funds to meet this cost. The rest**
**of the building is under a flat roof and**
