## **- Coddington Village Hall CIO (1188363)** 

## **Report of the Trustees year ending 31.12.2023** 

Following on from the lean post-Covid months, during which many of our regular hirers had struggled to continue with their groups through declining numbers, whilst ad hoc bookings were becoming increasingly hard to secure, we are able to report that this past year has seen a much more buoyant period for the Village Hall. 

We now have regular hirers filling the Hall each weekday, offering a wide range of activities as diverse as tap dance to ballroom and ballet to dance fitness.  Added to this are the long-standing groups such as the Coddington Brownies and the Coddington Women’s Institute, it means the Hall really does offer something for everyone of all ages. 

As well as the popular “Live & Local” concert evenings, the Trustees endeavour to offer a wide variety of fund-raising events.  The past year has seen plant sales and table fairs as well as quiz nights and a Christmas Fair.  The quiz night later in March is already fully booked, and these events draw people in from across the district, many of whom later go on to book the Hall for their own events. 

Especially encouraging are the level of repeat bookings seen recently from hirers who have been extremely impressed by the light, bright and welcoming atmosphere of the Coronation Hall.  The addition of fairy-lights has proved popular for both small children’s parties as well as more intimate adult evening celebrations. 

Meanwhile, the Trustees work tirelessly to ensure the Hall is kept in the best possible condition, and the dedicated volunteers of the maintenance team have recently carried out works to repair stormdamage to the felt roofing of the shed, as well as ensuring the gardens are kept in pristine condition. 

Plans are well underway to carry out a total refurbishment of the toilet facilities this year, and we have been successful in securing a grant of £7,500 from Nottinghamshire County Council towards the costs of this project. 

Naturally with a building of this age there is always much to be done, and there will always be small mountains to climb to ensure the Hall is preserved for future generations of the village to enjoy.  However, the Hall has weathered the turbulent, stormy times of the past couple of years and is now sailing into calmer waters to again resume its place as the jewel in the village’s crown.

## **Notes to The Accounts**

- 2 The COIF Accummulator is held as a Current Asset and is shown at valuation at the date of the Balance Sheet. 

- 3 A Grant towards the cost of updating the Toilet facilities was received, £5625 being 75% of the total awarded. A further £200 grant has been received from Nottingamshire CC.

- 6 In 2022 the Committee decided that General Hire Income should pay for the overheads of the Hall and that any Fund Raising Income should go towards Improvements. Therefore £2,572 net Fundraising Income from 2022 has been shown separately.Whilst these are not Designated Funds, it does indicate the Committee's preference for their use. 

- 6 In 2022 there was an overprovision of the Chubb Fire Inspection contract amounting to £168 which has been offset against the 2023 charge resulting in a net charge to SoFA of £4
