Main activities have been the preparation of a successful bid to purchase a building for use as a village hall for the communities of Read and Simonstone.  The conveyancing of this building was completed on the 12[th] June 2019 and the renovation and improvements started on the 24[th] June 2019. The doors were opened to the public on the 19[th] September 2019 and we have been steadily building community activities and events, in line with the guidance issued by the charity commission on public benefit, from that date. Activities and events include hosting the local Scouts group, Boxercise **Summary of the main** classes, Yoga Classes, A Village Hall Café and Natter Shack Scheme, **activities undertaken for the** Art exhibitions, theatre performances, several performing arts groups and **public benefit in relation to** classes, slimming world classes, children’s birthday parties and Parish **these objects (include within** Council meetings – we are currently exploring re-establishing the building **this section the statutory** as the community polling station, and we have many more ideas for **declaration that trustees have** further developing the use of our Village Hall which is available to all. **had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity** Indoor activities were paused in March 2020 due to the global pandemic, **Commission on public** undeterred we immediately took our community support outside and set **benefit)** up Readstone Help and Assist – this was primarily aimed at helping families that were self-isolating to slow the spread of the coronavirus. We set up a team of 60 volunteers that could provide services such as picking up shopping or prescriptions and dog walking or friendly phone calls. This scheme was really appreciated by Ribble Valley Borough Council and proved very successful in consolidating the sense of community spirit in our villages. Readstone Help and Assist has continued to be a vital resource for our community. We have 550 regular users and contributors, As hoped the Help and Assistance has morphed over time from pure covid related issues to all kinds of community support. It is a joy to see the members finding innovative uses for the community network we have created.

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

During this period our charity worked hard at bringing all the elements together that would put us in the best position to renovate improve and breathe new life into the serviceable but neglected building on East View in Read. The trustees worked tirelessly fundraising and collecting donations, preparing and adapting plans as our circumstances developed, and communicating with our community, in person and via our Facebook page. 

We worked together with Read Parish Council, Simonstone Parish Council, Ribble Valley Borough Council and many other organisations. We made extensive use of modern technology setting up a website a Facebook page and a donations page. We had some trustees attending meetings over video conferencing when they were unable to be physically present. Our Trustees communicate with each other using an instant messaging application on our phones for speed, as well as by email. From the April 2021 until the March 2022, the building was mostly closed to the public. We have encouraged our group leaders to continue with activities when it has been possible and safe to do so. We have seen a substantial benefit to our community over this period with the outreach arm of our Village Hall being well used and well supported for a variety of activities. We have had a very positive impact on our community and the scope of our contribution is still increasing despite the onset of a global pandemic. We would like to thank all our supporters, volunteers and donors for their fantastic support. Together we are stronger.

Our Charity was set up to Purchase the Former United Reformed Church Building in Read. As of the 31st March 2019 we had been informed that we had submitted a successful bid to purchase the property, however the transaction wasn't completed until 12th June 2019. Our generous supporters committed to donating a fixed amount each month to support the purchase of the building. This support has been maintained throughout the current pandemic. Our charities fixed costs continue to be covered by regular standing order donations. We have been able to pay our bills as they fall due despite the government imposed lockdowns. The pandemic has given us a unique opportunity to continue with our building renovations and this year we have improved our garden facilities with a £20,000 a donation from the Wham Foundation of £20,000 to improve our outdoor space. This project was started soon after our year end and we have been making great progress on creating a flexible, environmentally friendly, green,sustainable space for use as a community garden and for further fundraising events.
