Nutley Memorial Trust Charitable Incorporated Organisation
Chair’s Annual Report 2025
Hello once again. I am Simon Coleman. Now into my fourth year, as Chairman of the Nutley Memorial Trust CIO.
The Nutley War Memorial Trust was set up in 1948. As well as providing and managing the Nutley War Memorial Hall facilities, the Trust is also instrumental in providing other village facilities acting as Landlord to Nutley Tennis and Squash Club, Nutley Bowling Club, and Nutley Social Club.
In 2021 the Trust changed its name to become the Nutley Memorial Trust CIO. The Nutley Memorial Trust CIO will continue to provide and run facilities for the benefit of Nutley residents and the surrounding area just as it has always done.
Though always challenging, the last year has been much better, with a steady increase in bookings. This, coupled with grants secured by our Trustees, has enabled us to ensure that any necessary repairs to the hall building can be carried out. Also, we have been able to make it more economically and ecologically viable, with the installation of batteries to store the electricity produced by our solar panels. We are reasonably financially secure at the present time and looking forward to a good year.
Amateur dramatics continue to be a popular part of our programme and we have recently added live music events, which we hope will become a regular feature, so please keep an eye out for these.
With our nice warm hall and of course smaller rooms also available for hire, our state of the art audio visual system, up and running, with a 4 metre video screen and Bluetooth connectivity, we are able to cater for just about anything. So, if you want to dance, sing, have a jumble sale or put on a film, please have a look on our website, or contact our Caretaker for bookings and prices.
The one downside to this year, is the retirement of Niki, our wonderful caretaker, who, after many years of keeping everything running for us, has decided to take a more relaxed path for the future.
We are still looking to increase the number of Trustees, in order to increase our skills base and gain new ideas, to assist us in the everyday running of the Trust. If you feel that this would be something you could help with, please contact us. Furthermore, if you feel able to make a donation to the upkeep of the Memorial Hall, no matter how small, please contact one of the Trustees.
Thanks to all, who have made use of our facilities over the past few years, and we look forward to seeing you again.
