PRESTON BROOK VILLAGE HALL
ANNUAL REPORT
2020 / 2021
Due to Covid 19, this had a major impact on our hall hire and general community use. When restrictions were lifted the local pre-school were able to rejoin with other community groups ie Yoga following thereafter however, in light of this we have been able to operate as best as possible in line with the restrictions placed upon us, the additional costs incurred thus also maintaining a healthy bank balance. At the start of 2022, we have been reengaging with our local groups and started our advertising for private hire and continued our relationship with the parish council to review opportunities for the future.
Due to medical reasons our trustees haven’t been as active as they’d have liked but we have collectively been able to maintain bookings, maintain the hall and brought our accounts to a position of more effective management with more rigour and control.
Fundraising hasn’t been in force with our bingo events, pub night or otherwise but plans are afoot to reinstate these popular events for the benefit of the community.
The next year sees the opportunity of us amalgamating with the parish council as well as strengthening our trustees and volunteers to make a stronger success of the hall and its amenities despite rising costs.
