CannHallCan 1 April 2024 – 31 March 2025 Annual Report (7/11/2025)
Report on activities
Events and activities
12 live music events were held at the café in the park – 2-hour gigs on Sunday mornings, for the 2024 spring and summer period. Many of the regular players performed, and we have added some new musicians to our cohort. The players are local, and offer a varied programme, including participatory sessions for young children.
International Women’s Day was celebrated on 6/3/2025, with an event organised in collaboration with local community arts organisation Idea Space, and the Farm Community Kitchen. The hall of a local church was hired, and activities included: art and craft workshops, hand massage and manicure, music, and refreshments.
A Family Fun Day in the park was held on 5/10/24. We were able to use the recently revitalised area (which previously held a skatepark) to good purpose. From midday, the park was extremely busy with live music, childrens’ crafting sessions and face-painting, wheels activity, and stalls.
As a “Friends of the Park” group, we have supplied some equipment for use in the park (a hose, planters and litter-picker) by volunteers, and held a major “clean-up” operation after Bellejuin had left.
Community engagement & supporting other local activity
-
Communications: We continue to actively engage with our community. We produced and distributed flyers advertising the music programme, and we publicise activities and events via social media, and direct mailing lists.
-
Defibrillator: We continue to collaborate with the neighbouring pub (Rookwood Village), supporting the community defibrillator by providing the annual maintenance cost and insurance.
-
We contributed funds to the Cann Hall Front Gardens group, to restore and re-plant some planters on a street corner.
Café and pavilion
BelleJuin café decided to leave the pavilion at the end of 2024. CannHallCan Trustees took time to find the right operator for the future,
and after speaking to 2 local community café operators, we offered a Licence to a local resident (who had been running a very successful café in a community building nearby for about 2 years). The café was closed for three months, while being refurbished, with a plan to re-open (as “Earl’s”) in April.
Lease and Licence
The Council, after 18 months of delay, finally agreed to meet at the beginning of 2025 to discuss how we could regularise our contractual relationship with the Council, until a new lease is drawn up, in accordance with its assets review. We were offered a Tenancy at Will. Discussions have begun on the terms and details of this.
With a Tenancy at Will, we will be able to offer a Licence to the new café operator.
In expectation of a renewed contract with the Council, CannHallCan ringfenced the “Carried Forward” sum in expectation of a contract which, we understood, would include a requirement to pay rent to the Council for the period (from November 2023) when we were without any contractual agreement.
The office space continues to be used under Licence by a local resident.
