## **Gainford Village Hall and Recreational Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)** 

Charity no. 1184308 

## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the year 1[st] March 2021 to 31[st] March 2022** 

On the 1[st] June 2021, the status of the charity responsible for Gainford Village Hall was changed from that of a traditional charity (Montalbo Village Hall and Recreational Charity, no.520799) to that of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (the CIO). This was in order to modernise the running of the charity and its assets, bring it into line with other modern charities and also to encourage new, younger trustees – all of which have been successful. 

The objects of the CIO are “the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time in Gainford Village Hall and tennis courts. Arts, culture, heritage and science pursuits, amateur sport and other general charitable purposes for the inhabitants of Gainford. The Village Hall facilities will be used by local community groups, such as a local history group, a community choir, parent and toddler groups, & a lunch club”. 

The transfer was finalised during the period of Covid lockdown, discussed and monitored during regular internet-based meetings of the charity’s trustees and management committee members, and was in place for the reopening of the Hall once covid restrictions were lifted. 

Post covid, the Village Hall reopened for activities on 19[th] July 2021. However, a number of its regular user groups didn’t start using it again until September 2021.  Sadly, the lunch club was a casualty as the organisation running it decided to combine the facility with one in a neighbouring village. 

To help encourage use of the premises following the lockdown period, a number of actions to improve the fabric of the building were agreed upon by the management committee and trustees. These included a complete overhaul of the Hall’s main toilet block, involving the construction of new individual WC rooms within which each has its own contactless tap operation, hand drying, toilet flushing and movement sensor light operation. Décor, and the facilities in general have been significantly improved. 



Further post covid improvements involved the professional cleaning and redecoration of the front of the Village Hall and the installation of a marqueestyle lining within the main hall. 

The latter has been designed particularly in order to make the Hall more attractive for function hire. The lining can be drawn back and stored to enable the playing of sports and for the use of other activities requiring height, such as the use of a bouncy castle for children’s parties. 

These improvements were all completed by July 2021, at a cost in the region of £25,000 and were assisted by a grant of £10,000 from the National Lottery fund with the balance being met from reserve funds. 

The tennis courts were also reopened upon lifting of restrictions but because of the seasonal nature of use numbers reduced considerably. However, a refurbishment of the pavilion took place which has been welcomed. 

All these improvements have been met with universal approval and the Village Hall continues to successfully offer a valuable community resource for the village of Gainford and the surrounding area.
