Wanborough (Surrey) Village Hall Trustees’ Report November 2020 to end October 2021 Having spent the period from 23[rd] March until the end of October 2020 either closed, or open under COVID restrictions, we had to close again for the second lockdown in November 2020 and under tier restrictions from 20[th] December, which ran into the third lockdown in January 2021. We were, however, able to make productive use of the closure period in the first four months of 2021 by undertaking building work for our Access for All project to provide ramp access, and refurbished toilets with facilities for disabled people and nappy changing. We had been overwhelmed by the support for our Access for All fundraising campaign, receiving all but £1,000 of our target £35,000 through grants, events and donations when COVID struck in March 2020. In the New Year 2021, we decided to allocate some money from the hall’s government COVID grants to the Access for All fund in order to meet building costs for the project. Work began in March. In April, we decided to extend the contract to repaint the hall throughout, using more of our COVID grant money. All work was completed in May, just in time for us to reopen on the 17[th] , albeit under restrictions. We had a fantastic turn-out from villagers for our post-building work spring clean on 9[th] May. One group pressure-washed chairs and cleaned tables, while a separate group of helpers cleaned windows, kitchen cupboards and the big, suspended light shades. Volunteers swept the alley, rehung pictures and curtains and wielded their drills. It was wonderful to see the community working together again after so many months of lockdown. All restrictions were lifted in July after which regular, weekly hirers returned, plus a new yoga and Pilates classes. Local theatre groups began using the hall for rehearsals, providing a welcome new income stream, and children’s parties also returned. The hall’s operation relies on the car park to the Great Barn in Wanborough, a historical building open to the public on several days between April and September and available for a limited number of wedding receptions each year. The car park is available to the hall’s hirers when the barn is not in use. The Great Barn trustees proposed a wedding package for 2022 that would include use of the village hall for three days. The arrangement means the hall will receive a flat rate of £250.00 for each barn wedding, a period when the car park is unavailable and to the hall for normal bookings. In September 2121 we were able once again to participate in Heritage Open Days, ,making over the village hall to a pop up café for visitors to the Great Barn and the village’s historic church. Profits from the Heritage Café were split three ways, with the village hall gaining £502.00 plus a flat-rate £100.00 hire fee. At time of writing, Wanborough (Surrey) Village Hall has four trustees and a five-person management committee which includes the trustees. The hall is run entirely by volunteers. We are proud of our achievement in improving access to the building during lockdown. We welcome interest from members of our community in becoming a trustee of the hall and/or an active member of the management committee.
