March **2012** **TAR** 3 ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** ## **Background** The Charity was established in 2017 to take over the operation of Brandon Community Hall (otherwise known as Brandon Colliery Miners’ Welfare Hall) from the existing operating charity: Brandon Community Association Hall (Reg No 1075364)(“BCAH”). The plan to effect this handover has been developed in agreement with Durham County Council who are the Custodian and Management Trustee of Brandon Community Hall. The purpose of the transition is to use a more modern form of charitable legal entity, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The handover is now complete and the Charity (BCAD) fully operates the community hall. The charity BCAH is now dormant and will be retained until the lease arrangements for the new charity BCAD have been completed. This matter continues to be in the hands of Durham County Council. **Activities** This hand-over of the day to day operation of the community hall from BCAH to BCAD was completed in 2019. The community hall has been successfully operated over the year, with income from hall users returning to pre-COVID levels. Retained surpluses for the year have decreased due to the release of grant funds being held to finance improvements to the community hall. Whilst activity levels have risen providing more income, energy costs have dramatically increased due to global energy price rises. This has led to energy costs doubling from £11,262 to £20,070. BCAD have taken steps to further control energy usage and to renegotiate the energy supply contracts to achieve more favourable prices. Whilst this is expected to reduce costs significantly going forward, the Trustees recognise that energy costs are unlikely to return to previous levels and will adjust their hall hire tariffs accordingly, whilst also seeking further income through securing additional hall users.
