Section D Achievements and performance
- The Trustees have operated the hall for the whole Year having reopened the hall achievements of the in March 2022 after a months shutdown due to the major rat infestation reported in charity during the year the previous Year.
Income levels have accordingly returned to similar pre Covid income levels, with nearly 50% of our core income from our local Amateur Dramatic group’s regular usage /performances as well as a weekly Community café. We now also have a few small local businesses and a local charity also using the hall .
However the year was punctuated by a number of large repair bills all of which adversely affected our Users, including £1200 on multiple heating issues, £890 on ongoing pest control work ,and another £600 on roof leakage repair and blocked drainage A further £3400 was spent on 3 large heating oil deliveries at significantly increased prices as a result of the Russia/Ukraine conflict
The net effect of this was a Deficit of some £3400 in the Year to 31/3/23, although some £1500of this represents oil stocks purchased late this year and hence held for use in the subsequent Year
- The Trustees together with our local Architect have continued to work on a modified Future design for the Regeneration of the Hall for the next generation of Users
Our core objectives remain the same :
-
take advantage of the offer of the grant of land to facilitate a rear extension from the adjoining landowner when an agreed design with planning permission and sufficient funding commitments have been made
-
keep the core current hall features but ensure other facilities are excellent for a multi purpose community facility within the context of our village and modern standards of energy usage, /toilets/sanitation and seeking to meet our Key User major requirements
-
understand cost constraints and hence make sound value judgments on major elements of our future ‘best’ plan
-However we must recognise that progress has been slow this year and our hopes of starting work on an agreed and funded design on Q1/2024 have not been met . During this year a revised proposal has been worked on which was considerably smaller than the original 2018 plan. However this received very mixed feedback from major Users in Spring 2023 ..which means that we have decided to work on a further revised Scheme with a Working group in the second half of 2023. We recognise also that building costs have increased considerably in the post covid period .
The Trustees recognise the importance of strong communication to and engagement with key Users, the wider Village Community and our Parish Council . When we have what we consider to be the ‘best’ agreed Plan to progress we know we can only succeed if we get a strong community mandate for the scheme, supported by a Funding Strategy based on a core commitments from Community Appeals, appropriate targeted Grant applications underpinned by appropriate short term loan facilities .
As Trustees we must recognise that it is 5 years since the original major extension plans obtained planning permission and unless we can achieve a strong community mandate (alongside planning permission) for our ‘best’ and costed design to be promoted in the next 1-2 years it is likely that lethargy will set in . Furthermore the problems we have faced and continue to face with roof leaks and heating issues are clear signs that the Hall will require major work irrespective of any large extension, and this has resulted in renewed efforts to seek an appropriate design to progress . The Trustees have initiated some limited work for fixed costs with specialist

fundraisers for the next financial Year to provide expertise where needed
The Trustees recognise that any published plan and related Budget we seek a mandate for must be capable of delivery within relatively short timescales (2-3 years) for it to be considered credible .
As at 31/3/23 after retaining Minimum Required Reserves of £10000 the Charity holds funds of some £47000 available towards Phase 2 Development work of which £38000 is Restricted Funds for the Regeneration Project (whilst still retaining Minimum Required Reserves of £10000)
