The trustee5' have taken due re8aTd of the guidance issued by the Charities Commission on public benefit. The trustee5 acknowledge the benefit The Church Street Rooms receives from the generous contributions made by volunteers, both in terms of time and monetary personal expense, and recognise that without this contribution the running of the hall would be disadvantaged. Achievements The declining impact of the pandemic meant that 2022 was an easier year than 2021, although several community activities le.g. line dancing, yo8al have still not returned following their disruption in 2020. However, we are pleased to report that Church Street Rooms has been used regularly for a ran8e of church and wider community activities, such as the Womens, Institute. History Society. Exercise Class, and Messy Church. Other users included the Parochial Church Council and various Church committees, the Parish Council, the Neighourhood Plan Group, and the Willou8hby Close Management Group. Church Street Rooms has also hosted several private functions. Despite our increasing running costs, we decided not to increase our hire rates during 2022. The Coffee Club has been very successful again this year. thanks to the small group of committed volunteers who provide the cakes and serve the coffees each week. Around 12-16 people. mostly retirees, attend each week, and have an enjoyable opportunity to socialize and to~catch up- with local news. The Coffee Club generates a weekly income of around £30. In the spring of 2022 several of our volunteers began a new venture serving simple lunches. including home- made soup and rolls. This provided another helpful contribution to our income for a while but unfortunately it proved impossible to maintain sufficient customers to keep it going. Church Street Rooms was again open during the annual Corby Glen Sheep Fair held at the start of October. and we are grateful to the organisers for the opportunity to contribute to this event. We received generous donations of cakes. as well as various food items from Apetito. and this support is gratefully acknowledged. This year we had the added attraction of a local choir who gave several performances in the hall during the afternoon. Our income from the day was over £600. Our Christmas celebrations for 2022 involved a party with mince pies and mulled wine. provided free of charge as 3-thank you- for all who supported Church Street Rooms though the year. Thanks to the generous donation of prizes by those attending. we were able to hold a raffle which raised over £40. Our eharity has continued to maintain the building over the year. In addition to general cleaning, this work has included.. the repair of a shattered window in the conservatory d(K)r. the sealIng the ton5ervatory roof and repainting of the ceilin& disposal of redundant equipfftent and items to provide more free spaee. and elearing vegetation to the rear of the building.
