Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Energy bills continued to be very high this year, but increased income from Room Hire offset this to a large extent.

The financial state of Castle Hill Trust is satisfactory.

We lost some trustees and gained some and presently have five and a Treasurer.

We continue to provide our usual activities and always look for other opportunities, which this year included a very popular Baby & Toddler group and a Life Drawing group.

Our involvement with Cultura Trust has worked well, to our mutual benefit. The funding for the Cultural Consortium has now come to an end, but engagement with other local ‘cultural’ organisations continues.
