Building on previous years and followingthe values set out in our new mission statement, the trustee$ have driven many successful improvements overthe last year. As a r8$ultthe Village Hall continues to strengthon and flourlsh. Bookings continue to tr8nd inllne wwth previous years and the online booklng system is now weLi- established with 1250 website hits this financial year. A full Health & S8fety and Risk assessment review was conducted for existing policie8 8nd procedures. Any gaps identified where policies or procedures were remediated. This last ye8Y the committee have 8ought to improv8 the carparf( which was achieved by applying lined parking spaces and the removal of hedging which created the addition of two extra sp8ces. The commlttee continues to listen to the feedback of the hirers and as such we Improved the external lighting around the property with hard wired PIR lighting. This improves the hirers experi8nW the halls security but more importantly in the event of an evacuation in the dark the lighting will automatlC8lly illuminate. Inline with our policywe provided trae bookings to three organised cheritable ev8nts. Making full use of the h811s equipment the committee h8s introduced a monthly cinema night with lic8ns8d screenings of recent films. The community has embraced these evenings with an average of 40 people in attendance. A small entrance fee of £3pp is collectad to cover the cost of tho licence with no goal to prolit from the evening other than to drive a collective communty spir¢t. InPost lockers were installed to the side of tho property providing 8 Vltal postal service to the local community and providesthe Village Hall with a regular income of £1200 por annum. External improvements have been made with the purchase of a picnic bench, also an external electrical power source has been fitted allowing Vendors to connect. The Treasurer successfully applied for a grant of £7500 towards Solar Panel and battary installation with work commencing in 2025 to drive a green and sustainable future. Our committee strives to reduce the halls carbon footprint having installed a remotely operated Nest heating systeFn which has seen the G88 consumption reduce significantly. A regular problem of taps being left on was addressed by replacing all taps within the propeity with self- stopping taps theretore reducing the water wastage and reducing the risk of flooding. We installed a grid system of Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide monitors all connected by Bluatooth. Two quiz nightswere organised and held bythe committ88which saw £800 raised with 50% each to The Hospice ofth8 Good Shepherd and Nightingale house. The second quiz raised £582forviI￿ge hall improvements. Go￿rnance[[rUStaeS Mike Neilson, Peter Lewis.
