## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 1[st] August 2020 -3[rd] October 2021** **Well this has been a very demanding year for everyone in the community but throughout the village hall has stood strong and thanks to the hard work of this committee it has come through the other side of this pandemic thriving.** **We have lost valued trustees, who throughout their service have taken on a great deal of work to get the hall to the healthy financial position it is in today , but I am sure as most of us have already taken on added responsibilities ,and with our new trustees I am sure as a committee we will pull together and keep the good work going.** **I have never seen the Facebook page thriving so much with queries about party bookings and all the extra groups we now have. I realise that Covid will be with us for a long time to come but this Hall can say we are surviving where many businesses and charities have succumbed unfortunately to the financial perils thrown their way.** **So before I go any further I would just like to thank you all, as a full time working parent with not a great deal of spare time on my hands it is with gratitude that I congratulate each and everyone of you for the success of the hall through these testing times.** ## **THANKS** **Thanks must go to our auditor /accountant Daryl Davies, Vinnie and Julie Roberts for continuing to ensure the defibrillator is regularly tested, strimming the grass etc.** **Also, a big thanks must go to Chris for the amount of time he spends up at the hall keeping the odd jobs ticking over and also to Richard for getting the Facebook page working to its full potential and keeping the policies up dated.** **Also, we must thank our hall users and fund-raising supporters who are the source of the hall’s day to day income.** **With the hall re-opening and then closing again it has been that type of year where no one has really been able to forward plan** ## **JOBS COMPLETED** **There have not been any major projects completed over this year as it was not a wise move to pursue any major projects with so much uncertainty around. There were plenty of house working** **jobs completed like lighting etc, also the new height barrier was repaired after being damaged.** ## **AHEAD AND FINANCE** **I am confident that the prudent approach adopted during the pandemic has stood us in good stead for the future with an end of year balance of £28,199.58.** **We still have a healthy balance of over £28 k, which is healthier than this time last year, which will more than sustain us as things slowly get back to normal.** **All other financial highlights are contained the meticulous financial report put together.** **Whilst erring on the side of caution it is going to be difficult to lock down any significant grants with the surplus showing in our account unless we can identify, and ring funding put a side for future projects.** **Having spoken to Chris we are in the process of getting a quote to replace the stone wall completely, maybe further railing will be needed. We will have the payment of the works for the toilets regarding hot water and heating in the ladies to pay. Obviously, the main project for future thought is replacing the roof but thankfully this is not something we need to do right away but maybe we could possibly put funds to one side and ring them for this to explain the surplus when applying for loans.** **We now have 18 different hall user clubs and the Whitford council when they return face to face meetings, we have had numerous party booking enquiries.** **So, the future is looking very positive for the hall and hopefully it will keep doing so……** **Let’s put Covid behind us and start looking towards a brighter future…..** CHARIIY COMMISSION Fok ENGIANO AND VIAIE5 Recelpts and pa ents accounts CC16a Forlhv p•rtod To Section A Receipts and payments Unr•8tncl• R•8tncl•d Totsl fund5 L•si >wr Al R•r4fjpl* 1912 13• i)• 11741 IZ744 ARI 47.101 47.IM u&M 20.191 I J02 075 Il17 1117 14 31135 Sthto 10.79• 32,135 11 11 JlJ75 31.375 211252 16.4D9 31A7
