Section D". Achievements and Performance
At the outsel of the year, we set goals of recruiting new trustees, lo maintain a healthy financial
P051tion and to continue with the redevelopment programme.
Once again. thanks are expressed to our excellent trustees, both new and old, all of whom are highly
committed and diligent. Our thanks also go to our volunteer Treasurer and our paid Secretary.,
although they are not trustees, they do make a valuable contribution lo the smooth running of the
Centre. It is important that we continue to seek out new and suitable trustees to support the running
of the Centre and its redevelopment.
Our financial position as outlined in the report is healthy with bookings building and a strong balance.
We have con￿ntrated with the redevelopment programme to try and raise awareness of our plans
and to begin to raise funds to meet the cost of further design work. We have applied for a Community
Grant from the Community Capacity Fund which will be announced in January 2024. As part of that
application, we have commenced working with South West Community Builds who will project
manage the grant should we be successful.
One of our trustees, Jenie Macindoe, built a subgroup Friends of Perranwell Centre to harness
support for creating our own events as part of the fund raising and creating awareness of our
redevelopment programme. They held several events during the year, an 80's night, Coronation
event, the Christmas Concert and a New Year Eve party. They hope to arrange a summer event as
well as continuing with the Christmas Concert. We are very grateful lo everyon& who helped and
supported these events., they are extremely important nol only for the funds they rais8 but also for
increasing our contact with the local oommunity.
We are looking at ways we can increase our social media presence and plan to review and update
our website.
One of the major issues in 2023 was the closure of the village shop and the formation of
Community Group lo ensure that some form of shop was maintained for the community. The Trusteès
agreed to support the location of a temporary container al the lop end of our sile to house a relocated
village shop. We recognise the importance of maintaining a shop in the village and are pleased that the
shop was able lo open in November. We also welcome the amount of co.operation from all stakeholders
in driving this project forward and welcome the support from the village that il should succeed.
Trustees continue lo be focussed on maintenance issue5 which reflect the age of the building.
We continu8 lo host the Loyal Bee Care group which further enhances the Hall's role as a focus of
oare in the community. This is also reflected in the Wellbeing group which meèts in the Hall and has
had a positive impact on residents.
The mother and toddler group continues lo grow and is an important part of our community. The Hall
continues lo host various events from the School.
I would argue that all hirers and users of the Hall whether playing Bridge. Badminton or meeting as a
History or Drama Group are fulfilling a social need and helping to bring the community together in
addition to their more obvious aims.
Finally, following some comments that we are no longer called the Perran-ar-worthal Village
Memorial Hall, can I reassure everyone that the name on the building remains the same. Now we are
charitable incorporated organisation it simply means that the management of the Perran-ar-worthal
Village Memorial Hall is undertaken by the Perranwell Centre Trustees.

The charity's activities
The last year's booking figures taken from the Hallmaster booking system over 12 months show that
the Hall was occupied for 5323 hours. 53% of bookings were for the Main Hall. 31 % for the Wesl
Room and 16 /0 for the South Room.
It is difficult to compare these figures With previous years, which were greatly affected by the impact
of Covid. Changing government restrictions meant that many Hall bookings were can￿lled, then
rebooked, then cancelled again.
The beneficiaries of the charity's activities
The trustees are pleased lo report that in pursurt of the charity's objectives, the Hall continued to be
used by a wide range of organizations, groups and private indtviduals.
'Community' activitie5 include a diverse range, such as bridge clubs. church groups, dog training
classes, as well as care groups such as Coffee Stop, Memory Café and Wellbeing. Craft groups
include embroiderers, lace makers and q4Jilters. 'Exercise' includes sports other than badminton, for
example, carpet bowls and martial arts groups. as well as exercise and keep fit classes.
Sometimes, the classification is rather arbitrary. For example, 'statutory includes the primary school,
although the mother and toddler group is classed as community. Some U3A groups have been
classed as community groups, but art. badminton. dance and sewing groups have been classed
under those respective headings.
One reason for the Art and Craft categories is the type of resource that these groups prefer, such as
lots of table space and good sour￿$ of natural light. The Wesl Room, with ils better nalural light, is
favoured over the South Room. Knowng the amount of use of the Hall by these groups will help with
fulure planning.
Demographic data is not routinely collected about the users of the faciltties. It is true that the Hall is
used predominantly by older people, for example, the Memory Café and Coffee Stop. This is largely
because older people are mostly retired and able lo use the Hall throughout the day. However. the
Hall is also used by many people in younger age groups. The youngest are members of the Toddlers
Group followed by children from Peffan-ar-worthal Primary School and members of the dance
classes. The drama group has a large mernbership of young persons, and the football clubhouse
stands on ground leased from the charty- Therefore. li Can be reasonably claimed that the charity
serves all ages in the community.
