CVT AGM – WEDNESDAY 17 JULY 2024 

TRUSTEES REPORT TO THE MEMBERS 

There have been several significant events since our last report. 

The year has been another of success in terms of the number of regular and one-off events held at the Civic Hall and we continue to be a 7-day operation with the 

number of “closed” days able to be counted on the fingers of one hand. 

Although we lost a regular Sunday booking when the Revive Church moved into their own premises, we were able to fill the void they left with the Winners Chapel who 

took over their regular slot with increased hours and space booked. At the same time the regular Ginger Fitness class added an extra session making Sunday a very busy day what with Hep to the Jive’s monthly tea dance and the occasional concert. 

We continue to develop a close relationship with the health bodies and NHS both locally and regionally. Blood Donor sessions continue at an average of 1.5 sessions per month over the year and we host regular meetings for groups affected by diabetes, pulmonary fibrosis, asbestos related conditions and Parkinsons. We have also hosted several NHS training sessions and staff meetings too. 

Regular Hirers continue to be a mainstay of our income, some have been with us since Day 1 – e.g. Fitness Vibe, Wado Karate, Claire Lyons Yoga, National Trust, Local History Society and Hep to the Jive to name just some of them. However, we have also been able to continue welcoming new hirers and we continue to grow our Arts & Dance activity with Hull Musical Theatre Company, S J Arts, LWHS as well as Art groups. This year Fitmums have arranged for the space vacated by the Police CCTV room to be refurbished into useful office space which they now hire from the Cottingham Village Trust. 

Income from regular hall hire is sufficient to provide the bulk of our ongoing regular costs, although during the last year we have had to increase our prices to cover the increases that we have all seen in the cost of utilities, staff costs etc. (As an aside you may be interested to know that for the first time the total of invoices issued at the end of June exceeded £10k for the first time) 

We are sure it is not going unnoticed that we have a new bar which was a project led by our Trustee, Pat Tomlinson, to provide us with a purposebuilt facility for serving drinks and to refurbish the former customer service area and turn it into a useful and attractive space for hire. This was funded in part by a loan (and grant) from the Key Fund, an organisation set up to support good causes and community facilities such 



as ours. Borrowing on favourable terms has enabled us to retain much of our capital which we will use on future refurbishment programmes as we plan improvements to the toilets and a major change to our heating system with energy efficiency and eco-friendly options top of our priorities. As you are probably aware proceeds from the bar help us to build a capital base to fund future investments in the building which is why we chose this as our first area of major spend, after the essential improvements we made to the Audrey Mosey studio. However, our success in this area has obliged us to 

register with HMRC for VAT, which is now charged on bar sales, hall hire unconnected with the bar continues to be free of VAT. 

As an indication of the past year’s activity this is what we have done.

To our staff Annette, Andrew and Tony thanks for your input and willingness to be flexible to meet our various commitments.
