The Hub Annual Report 2021-2022
It has been a difficult past two years for the hub and it’s finances with
the pandemic, with no events and no income to fund the running and upkeep
of The Hub.
It has largely survived with periodic Government and local government
grants throughout this period of lockdown to pay the bills and the upkeep
of the building,
without this assistance we would have been in a serious financial dilemma,
so we were very grateful and thankful for being able to apply for and
receive such grants.
Hopefully and thankfully this is now all behind us and The Hub now grows in
strength with bookings on the increase and recent events having taken place
to boost income, and members of the public coming to The Hub once more.
Whilst it is recognised that public confidence is still not what it was
before the pandemic. Confidence is returning once more and people are
meeting again in large gatherings, recent weddings, parties, brunches,
talks and events have shown this.
However, more support for events is crucial in The Hub covering its costs
for events and allowing the hub to make a small profit for running costs
and upkeep, so I urge the local parishes to support The Hub events when
advertised in order to to keep The Hub on a sound financial footing for the
future.
The Hub has undergone some recent personnel changes with new trustees
coming on board, together with the appointment of a caretaker and an admin
clerk to assist in the running of the hub, which is proving successful with
bookings on the increase and the overall organisation of the hub improved.
The hub has recently set up its own web site to improve communication and
bookings and is proving to be a good marketing tool for events. Look us up
at www.hub4all.org; enquiries@hub4all.org
Our aim is the continuance of promoting The Hub as an attractive venue and
an attractive village hall.
We can only do that with the assistance of the community, so at every
opportunity please promote The Hub as a versatile venue.
