From 01/04/2024 Period start date To 31/03/2025 Period end date
Charity name: Toddington Village Hall
Charity registration number: 1180049
Objectives and Activities
The Hall is to be held in trust for the benefit of the residents of Toddington and the surrounding parishes for use for meetings, lectures and classes, recreation and leisure activities for the purpose of improving the condition of life for the said inhabitants. Hire of the hall is open to residents and non-residents. Regular bookings currently include, AA Meetings, Pilates, Karate, Yoga, Bridge Club, Art Class’s Dance Class’s, Church fund raising, Wedding Venue. The hall is also used for PC meetings and Local / General Elections. It is confirmed that the trustee's decision-making process has regard to the guidance issued by the Charities Commission. The primary contribution by volunteers is time, although all volunteers personally contribute items like cake for the coffee mornings and raffle prizes on a voluntary basis.
Achievements and Performance
A similar position to last year. A hugely prolonged software glitch by SSE in their billing system has resulted in a debt which was impactual but paid off in instalments. There is still much needed input from others in the Village to achieve social gatherings and fund raising but general interest in ‘The Hall’ is lacking. As a developing community and Toddington deemed as service village suitable for development the plan is for a sales push in the future
The cleaning of the hall and the bookings software (our only paid help together with general maintenance) is still operating very efficiently.
Funding in the form of a 106 agreement is available for the funding of a playpark. It has been agreed that this project will be run by the Parish Council and placed in situ on The Jean Ward field behind the Hall. This is an ongoing project being headed by Councillor Andrew Dunning. Local planning agreement is ongoing, and the Hall Trustees have agreed to fund £1800 towards the footpath leading to the site. It has been agreed that The Nursery next door will have use of the facility once completed
Improvements and maintenance – Main doors have all been updated and tweaked as showing signs of fatigue, exterior boundary hedges are now contracted to hedge cutting contractor, new coffee machine and water boilers have been purchased, a new tree has been planted at the entrance and funded partly by and in recognition 75 years of WI in Toddington, A window and gutter cleaner has been employed as a routine ongoing contract. A skip was hired to rid the hall of unwanted and redundant equipment and rubbish. Consumables for the defib have been updated. Fire alarm is still compliant but will require replacing at some point.
