Trustees’ Annual Report 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2025
Objectives and activities
Setmurthy Parish Hall (SPH) operates and maintains the land and buildings at Setmurthy Parish Hall CA13 9SL under a 35-year lease granted by the Diocese of Carlisle in 2019. Its activities are focused on organising social events and promoting the use of the hall by others for social, recreational, educational and religious activities, thus providing a venue for local interest groups and the village church, St Barnabas.
SPH has had due regard to the public beneft guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Achievements and performance
During the year, SPH organised some well-attended events, including a Burns Lunch and a Plant and Cake Sale (jointly with St Barnabas). Additionally, the Hall was the venue for a wreath-making class and served as the venue for three church events and the St Barnabas DCC meeting. Cumbria Lace Makers held their regular monthly meetings at the Hall, and a series of Further Education learning events were held at the Hall most Tuesdays throughout the year.
Grateful thanks is offered to Brian Marrs for keeping the grounds beautifully kept, and to Rick Petecki for auditing our accounts.
