WELLESBOURNE VILLAGE HALL

Annual Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31.12.2020

At the beginning of the year, Steve Rush the Treasurer retired and his place was taken by Andy Blake. There followed prolonged difficulties with Barclays Bank in getting the changes made to enable the new Treasurer to sign cheques, to be able to access the bank account and to be the named contact for the bank. These problems were not finally resolved until the end of March 2021, despite repeat complaints to the bank.

With the arrival of the Covid 19 pandemic, the Village Hall was closed in March 2020 and only reopened partially in September 2020. During the closure the opportunity was used to carry out some decorating and the hall was monitored regularly to prevent the risk of Legionella developing in the water systems.

Following the advice from ACRE and the Warwickshire Rural Community Council, the Secretary put in place all the measures to keep people safe whilst using the hall. Measures included installing hand sanitisers at the front and rear entrances, updating the hall’s risk assessment and displaying advisory notices including the NHS track and trace QR code. Advice was given to all hirers who were required to provide risk assessments for their activity. A “treatment chair” was set up and bookings were limited in the numbers of people attending. The kitchen was closed and a time gap was put between bookings to prevent different groups mixing. The cleaning regime was enhanced. Throughout the year the secretary endeavoured to keep up to date with the latest Covid advice.

During the year other arrangements had to be made for Trustees meetings. The January meeting was held as normal but the AGM in April was conducted by email and letter as not all trustees have online access. In July and October the meetings were held in the main hall so that we could observe social distancing

The restrictions had a significant impact on the finances of the hall. Income from lettings fell from £15,698 in 2019 to £3,333 in 2020. At the same time expenditure was down from £21,625 in 2019 to £13,071 in 2020. This was largely due to no refurbishment works being undertaken. The Management Committee were able to claim a grant of £10,000 from the Covid relief fund set up by the Government which meant that the funds carried forward actually rose from £16,129 at the end of 2019 to £20,880 at the end of 2020.

The plans to refurbish the kitchen had to be put on hold and it is hoped to obtain the necessary funding to carry out the work in 2022.
