Section B Structure, governance and management

Description of the charity’s trusts

CIO Foundation Constitution Type of governing document (eg. trust deed, constitution) BY virtue of its CIO Foundation Constitution How the charity is constituted (eg. trust, association, company) Selected from the membership and appointed by formal resolution at a Steering Trustee selection methods Group meeting. Advertising where necessary. (eg. appointed by, elected by)

Additional governance issues (Optional information)

The charity has a full range of policies and procedures. They are kept in a file at the Library and volunteers are encouraged to refer to them as necessary. 2020-2021 has been a challenging year in many respects, dominated of course by the Covid crisis. We have acted at all times in strict accordance with Leicestershire County Council instructions about the measures to be taken, which has meant that we have had to be closed during lockdown periods, with limited opening as activity resumed. It was still closed by the end of the financial year, re-opening on a limited basis on 13[[th]] April 2021. Full re-opening is planned to occur on 1[[st]] November 2021. Inevitably these restrictions have had a significant impact. Our sources of income have been non-existent and our volunteers and customers have shown understandable caution in returning. At the same time, expenditure has also virtually ceased and hence we remain financially secure. The Steering Group has continued to meet on a regular basis, conducting its meetings by Zoom. We have been able to retain full managerial control, with all necessary Covid security precautions in place. Two of our founder Trustees resigned, including the Treasurer, and we are fortunate to have found replacements. A full handover of Treasurer duties has taken place and the transition has been seamless. 2020-2021 saw no progress in the lease situation that we have been faced with, for several years, although latterly there are some sings of progress. It seems likely that we will achieve full CML status in 2021-2022. We have maintained our good working relationships with Leicestershire County Council, Kirby Muxloe Parish Council and the Recreation Ground Charity Trust.

1. To advance the education of the public in Kirby Muxloe and surrounding areas by6 operating and managing a lending Library. The Covid situation has resulted in no additional activities being mounted and indeed a contraction in what we have been able to do. The Library has been closed for much of the time, though its fabric has been maintained. During the open periods, full Covid restrictions have been in place, including social distancing, no refreshments, the wearing of face masks, the use of screens etc. We introduced a Click and Collect system, which was not successful. The demographic profile of Kirby Muxloe has meant that many of our volunteers and Library customers are older. Hence there has been a reluctance to resume normal activity. The Steering Group has been particularly strong, staffing the Library and making it Covid secure. We are working hard to build up our body of volunteers again and are confident that we will be able to Summary of the main activities resume full activity as and when conditions allow. undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects In all activities, the Trustees have regard to the guidance issued by the Charity (include within this section the Commission on public benefit statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
