Annual Report of the Trustees of the Warsash Victory Hall 2022/23

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, Slimming World and Dancing Classes every weekday.

Other Clubs have regular monthly bookings, i.e., 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 by Blood donors and for Local and General Elections. It is estimated that normally over 1500 people use the hall each week.

The financial report ending 31st March 2023 shows that bookings have remained steady above precovid levels. Our financial position remains healthy, even with a number of large projects being completed in the past year.

Projects completed during the year include the following:

Replacement lighting in the Bartholomew Room New Projector for the Main Hall Extensive work on the external drains Installation of additional CCTV Cameras Further Pruning and tree removal to the front of the Hall.

Our planned Last Night of the Proms Fundraiser had to be cancelled due to the death of Her Majesty the Queen. We were able to hold a fundraising event in April with an Elvis Tribute act raising over £800 for Hall funds..

The Hall set up a Drop In, Warm Room facility in the autumn. to help local residents. Bad weather and low numbers attending meant we had to stop these events, but we will re-examine the need for this and if viable, will start up again later in the year.

Our governance arrangements with sub committees for Building and Maintenance, Finance and Marketing continues to work well,

Overall, the Trustees feel the Hall 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.

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 funding 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.
