## **Annual Report of the Trustees of the Warsash Victory Hall 2021/22**
In line with the objectives in the Hall’s constitution, the Victory Hall Charity continues to provide and maintain the building for the use of the inhabitants of Hook and Warsash, without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
Several activities can take place at the same time due to the layout of the building. Regular users include Slimming World, Senior Citizens Luncheon Club, two Choirs, Bowls and Badminton Clubs plus there are Keep Fit and Dancing Classes every weekday.
Other Clubs have regular monthly bookings, i.e., Women’s Institute, Flower Club, Horticultural Society, Warsash Residents' Association and U3A.
Casual user events such as Music Festivals, Drama Productions, Concerts and Jumble Sales also help to make the Victory Hall a lively social community meeting place, The Hall is also regularly used for Local and General Elections. It is estimated that normally over 1500 people use the hall each week.
The financial report ending 31st March 2022 shows that bookings have recovered to pre-covid levels. Government grants again meant we did not have to use any of our reserves to fund our operation. Our financial position remains healthy, despite the lower than normal income and a number of projects being completed in the past year.
Projects completed during the year include the following:
New shelving and decoration in the Bar Store Room Fitting of automatic door closures to the Kitchen and stage doors Decoration in the Newbury Room Decoration in the rear corridor Decoration and new flooring in the rear gent’s toilet New Victory Hall Web Site following the withdrawal of the free BT service Pruning and tree removal to the front of the Hall.
Covid restrictions were relaxed from 17[th] May 2021 and all restrictions were removed in February 2022. The past year has seen a continuous recovery with almost all hirers back to their normal schedules and numbers.
Our governance arrangements with sub committees for Building and Maintenance, Finance and Marketing continues to work well,

Overall, the Trustees feel the Hall has coped well with all the covid restrictions and is in a very good position to move forward over the coming years. The Trustees would like to thank the Hall Manager Karen, for all her hard work over the past year dealing with the various covid issues.
The Trustees will continue to progress further improvements to the Hall’s fabric and facilities and will undertake further fund raising and look for grant applications to allow this to proceed. Future projects include extending the front of the Hall to include a new disabled toilet and repairs to the access road at the side of the Hall.

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").

## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
