## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: 

- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; 

- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; 

- relationship with any related parties;

Barrow Hill Memorial Hall was gifted to the communities of Barrow Hill and Hollingwood after the First World War in memory of local casualties. The building was to be held in trust to be used for the benefit of local people. Following the re-structuring of the Charity in 2017, it is still held on the original trusts. 

The trustees are represented at meetings of the Active Derbyshire Partnership, the Staveley Health and Well-being Network and the Chesterfield Cultural Education Partnership. 

The board developed their policies on induction and training of trustees in March 2019 and have kept these under annual review. 

All trustees give their time as volunteers and receive no payment or other benefits for carrying out their duties as a trustee 

## **Section C                    Objectives and activities**

- provide a range of different spaces for activities and events to happen. 

- make the Memorial Hall viable through room hire and activities and by growing links with businesses. 

A great contribution is made by trustees and community volunteers, particularly with regard to development, maintenance, management, accounting, marketing, fundraising and preparing grant applications. 

Volunteers have set up and run a number of groups and have maintained contact with group members throughout lockdowns via social media. Without their valuable contribution of time, energy and expertise, the future operation of Barrow Hill Memorial Hall would not be possible. 

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

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

In March 2020, all community building s were closed as part of the Governments response to the Covid-19 pandemic and all social groups and planned fundraising activities had to be suspended. However, the trustees continued to meet regularly or work remotely throughout the reporting period. They have: 

- Successfully put forward proposals to the Staveley Town Board for the Memorial Hall to be included as a key project in the Staveley Town Investment Plan. 

- Successfully applied for a grant from Veolia towards the cost of a new roof on the original part of the building; obtained quotes for the work, consulted with the conservation officer, engaged a contractor, installed a new slate roof and repaired roof joists. 

- Completed all legal matters pertaining to the Land Registry and Charity merger. 

- Applied for and managed government Covid-19 related grants. 

- • Successfully applied for grants to cover the architects’ costs for taking the building renovation plans to RIBA Stage 3, and for building reports by Structural and Mechanical and Electrical Engineers. 

- Obtained quotes for the future refurbishment of the Sports Hall, the installation of a Changing Places toilet and for a full survey and professional removal of any asbestos. 

- Hosted co-design workshops on the architects plans for the renovation of the Memorial Hall and the potential Community Housing project. These sessions were held on the school playground and the Hall car park. 

- Worked on-line with partner organisations. 

- Maintained the war memorial garden 

- Reviewed suppliers and taken out new utility contracts to minimise costs 

- Reviewed Finance and CCT policies 

- Financially supported a young people’s project to provide home physical activity packs during lockdown 

One of our trustees set up the Derbyshire Community Hub and, with the help of volunteers, has provided and delivered food parcels to those in need throughout the pandemic. Trustees supported this initiative by providing storage space and electricity for fridges and freezers and as a collection point for food parcels.
