## **LITCHAM JUBILEE HALL TRUST CIO** # **ANNUAL REPORT** ## **1 st July 2021 to 30 th June 2022** There has been no significant increase in the use of the hall and the need to improve its facilities remains an important requirement for increasing use of the hall. Weekly Weight Watchers and the 2 monthly Litcham Parish Council meetings continue as our only regular users. There are also irregular Quiz Night and Bingo nights and the occasional private use. A Bingo night was recently moved to another village hall because of the poor quality of the halls facilities. These booking do not cover the cost of the continuing running costs of the hall, even though hardly any electricity is being used standing charges for both electricity and water still have to be paid and the hall still has to be cleaned regularly although this has been cut back to the minimum. Repairs and a general refurbishment are now more essential than ever. In June the Trust members organized a community celebration in the form of a street party to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s 11 Platinum Jubilee. Litcham Parish Council and Breckland District council were approached for help with upfront running costs. A kind donation of £500 from each was secured. This event was the highlight of the year with delicious food, live music, street dancing, and competitions. An amazing large selection of homemade cakes was donated by some of the residents these were displayed in the Jubilee Hall and proved very popular. The whole event was very successful. Following an advert in the village magazine, a new team of fundraisers was formed in late Sumer of 2022. They organised and carried out a ‘clean-up’ of the Hall to remove old and broken items left in the storage area since the 1970‘s and 80’s. Although the Hall was not in the best condition the committee felt that is was still ‘hireable’ and so new advertisements were posted in both the Church & Village Magazine and the Community Village Website to promote the hall’s use. Although not entirely successful it did secure the continued support of the weekly Weight Watchers Group and encouraged another popular Bingo night. In July the Trust arranged a meeting with a member of the Charity Action Norfolk group (CAN) with the new fundraising team to help and advise on fundraising governance, policies and grant applications. In mid-August a meeting at the hall with Adrian Jarrett (Beeston Architectural Services), a local architect was arranged to discuss and revive the earlier building plans that had been submitted and approved. It was agreed that the plans should be re-submitted at a later date when we had assessed the building costs. Acting on information and advice from (CAN) the committee and the new fundraising team were tasked with three objectives: 1. To obtain building estimates for the project. 2. Put in place the essential governance and policy documents for grant and funding applications. 3. To organize a regular fundraising event action plan. In the meantime the exterior condition of the building was causing a concern with crumbling bricks and peeling paintwork it did not have a nice curb appeal and therefore likely deterred it’s use. A temporary, sympathetic re-painting option was considered to keep costs down and the council was approached for their input and advice. It was noted that due to the age of the building and the specialist cleaning treatment needed it should only be facilitated by appropriately skilled and experienced companies. It was agreed that quotes from these specialists should now be sought. The Trustees consider that the main activities of LITCHAM JUBILEE VILLAGE HALL are in accordance with the objective and that they are of public benefit. The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charities Commission on Public Benefit.
