Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The main achievement of the Trust during 2022/23 was operating through exceedingly tough economic circumstances as a result the unexpected cost of living increases and inflation. Careful budgeting of expenditure allowed us to maintain, heat and keep the Hall open as usual despite huge, unforeseen increases in utility charges. It is becoming increasingly difficult to meet these expenditures despite switching energy suppliers and obtaining a grant towards keeping the Hall warm and open during the very wintry weather we have experienced in Dec/Jan/Feb. We have attracted new groups and organisations offering communal, social activities and have become a hub for local businesses to hold their meetings and events. We have hosted various community events including Sunday Lunches, Quiz and Bingo nights, Karaoke, Annual Flower Show and Car Boot Sales to help towards our continual fund- raising events. For the fourth year running we have staged a production of Somerset Opera and hosted Bridgwater Carnival events. Our sports facilities are used by our local school, sports clubs including tennis, football, indoor bowls and outdoor boules. We continue to provide facilities for the village Youth Club and Social Club - a venue that is particularly appreciated by many of the older members of our community.. |
