Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
During the year design specifications for a revised facility on the Hill field were created as well as a draft construction budget. The next stages are: - Obtain drawings and floorplans to support a revision to the planning permission; village consultation as well as detailed construction quotes; - Consult the village on the proposed way forward; and - Once the above completed approach funders.
The charity continues to support the Parochial Church Council in assessing the feasibility and funding availability for using the church as an additional community facility and therefore support its long term viability. However the construction of a new village hall and pavilion is the present priority.
