Chair of Trustees Report for 2024/2025
I am pleased to reflect on the past financial year as a period of consolidation for the.
Village Hall. The profile of the Village Hall continued to rise resulting in more lettings
and an improved financial turnover. Our Trustees and volunteers have continued to
work tirelessly to further improve the building and services that we offer to the
community.
During the past 12 months, we have benefitted from the receipt of a legacy along with
other grants; some of these and existing restricted funds have been used to carry
out improvement to the building, installation of a new heating boiler and professional
fees relating to the preparation for the building works to install disabled access and
toilets to the Hall (scheduled to take place in the 2025-2026 financial year).
In the meantime, we have increased the number of activities that are organised by
the Hall Trustees, including social evenings and a men's workshop. These, along with
the regular weekly cafe and Tots & Tea group, continue to raise extra funds to meet
our operational costs. Additionally, we have seen increases in bookings by one-off
hires for Birthday parties and concerts. Finally, we are always grateful to those
residents of Read and Simonstone who so generously donate through monthly giving.
Once again, I would like to thank again our dedicated team of Trustees and volunteers
who work so ,lard to keep the building open as a vital resource for the two villages.
