## **Gainford Village Hall and Recreational Charitable Incorporated Organisation Charity no. 114308** 

## Annual report 2025 

Building upon recent previous years much-appreciated improvements to the Village Hall, including the kitchen, Supper Room, WCs and internal marquee, the past year has continued the process of building fabric improvements. 

The installation of new windows has been completed and final installation of all external doors is expected imminently. As mentioned in last year’s report, further grant funding is being sought to allow for the re-render and insulation of the building, which will lower energy consumption, improve comfort levels, protect the buildings fabric and, again, provide a much-needed lift to our buildings appearance. The Village Hall continues to be used by regular groups for hobbies, activities and meetings. A very successful group called Warm and Welcome is offering an opportunity for interaction by elderly, more isolated, members of the community. The weekly visit by the Outreach Post Office facility is welcomed and an extra session is to be introduced.  Private hires for celebrations and similar activities, including fundraising, continue. 

Thanks go to all the members of the Management Committee, and trustees of the CIO, who donate their time and voluntary efforts. Without their commitment, we wouldn’t have our village hall and a much-used village asset would be lost to the community. Particular thanks should specifically go to two trustees, Fiona Divers and Tony Buckley who’ve resigned this year, and to committee member Mike Vayro. All three have made major contributions to the running of the charity and operation of the village hall and have left amicably with pressures on other aspects of their lives taking precedence. We shall miss them and we will be reviewing our skills needs to strengthen the Board.
