Trustee Report for the Victory Room, Bucklebury 

The year has been overshadowed by the Covid Pandemic and like everything else the hall was shut on March 23[rd ] 2020. During the first lockdown the trustees made the hall Covid safe with notices, sanitisers located throughout the hall, doors were secured open, use of table, chairs and kitchen equipment was restricted. The trustees worked with all the users intending to come back and use the hall to produce and agree risk assessments. When allowed, the hall was briefly re-opened in September and October before being closed again in accordance with government guidelines. 

Prior to the pandemic the trustees had a schedule of fund raising events in place however these were all cancelled when it became clear they were not going to be permitted under government guidelines or there was significant doubt about what was going to be permitted. 

Whilst the hall was shut, the trustees have progressed the refurbishment and extension project and have raised all the funds required to move forward and source tenders for the works.  It is expected that the works will commence and be completed in the 2021 financial year.
