Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The hall remains a popular choice for local hirers. We are fortunate to be able to provide use of our meeting room to a local therapist who favours our hall due to the quiet location and minimal distractions. We are also booking more Yoga classes in the hall too.

The trees we were allocated for Queen’s Green Canopy are growing and continuing to thrive in our garden.

We continue to hold the monthly social event which sees the attendees watching a movie and enjoying popcorn and a drink.

We replaced the defibrillator pads in 2024. The cost of these were covered by a generous donation from a local resident. The defibrillator remains on ‘The Circuit’ and is available for use 24/7. The battery is still in good working order and will be replaced in 2025.

The display screen equipment in the meeting room remains in a good working order and available for use by hirers of this room.

Our new sound system has been a success and the difference in sound it provides is noticeable.

.

Due to the continuing rising cost of energy, software licenses, insurance and internet, The Trustees plan to review the hire rates in December 2025. We have been able to freeze the hire rates this year due to the successful monthly movie events.
