In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at our Trustees meeting. ## **GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE** BWMI is a charitable incorporated organisation (Foundation Structure), who’s only voting members are its Trustees, which was registered on the 7th of September 2020. The CIO shall have a Board of Trustees comprising at least three persons. New Trustees may be recruited to the board at any time by the Trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as Trustees, the Trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. The Trustees may, by and from their number and from time to time, elect such officers e.g. chair, secretary, treasurer, as they see fit. The Institute Committee meet in the hall at least bimonthly. ## Page 1 ## **Broughton War Memorial Institute.** Charity registered in England and Wales with Charity Number: 1191165 Charity registered in England and Wales with Company Number: CE023830 ## **BACKGROUND** The Memorial Hall was provided by the former Prime-Minister's Gladstone/Hawarden Estatesi in 1926 to be used by the residents of Broughton village for hire and recreational events without political or religious exclusion. The hall is a fully accessible and inclusive community facility. ## **PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR** The board of Trustees and Committees was refreshed during the year with a renewed, positive focus on community engagement. Available funds are being put to Hall maintenance and improvement, alongside subsidised community enjoyment of the Hall facilities. During 2024, the hall been hired for various private and public social events, alongside regular community based hirers. In available un-allocated spaces, the renewed board of Trustees and Committee Members have actively sought to provide subsidised community events including Remembrance, Christmas themed days, Halloween, flower arranging and book club amongst others. These events have been well attended and we are hoping to continue to hold similar and and expanded array of events throughout 2025. The regular hirers of the hall include: - BWMI itself (community events), "Seniors" , Slimming World, toddler groups and fitness classes. - "Dancing Gemz" providing dance classes for children of all ages. There is an annex to the main hall which is rented exclusively by the dance group. It is used most days of the week and is a really well attended provision which is greatly appreciated by the parents who take their children to the dance classes. - All age, boxing classes which take place four times a week. The classes are very well attended. There are separate buildings on-site which exclusively host the local Scout group and the Broughton and Bretton Bowling Club, with the continued agreement and blessing of the Trustees. Both of these facilities are well utilised and share the car-park facilities. ## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** The hall and annexes will continue to be used on a regular basis and will be available for hire for functions. The Committee will continue to encourage the local residents to use the facility as much as far as possible. Page 2 ## **Broughton War Memorial Institute.** Charity registered in England and Wales with Charity Number: 1191165 Charity registered in England and Wales with Company Number: CE023830 The Committee will continue to hold events to raise money towards the running costs and also to help other charities in the village. Greater collaboration is actively being sought with other likeminded, local community facilities. Ongoing maintenance work will be carried out to ensure the buildings are kept in good running order. The car-park and site drainage are a priority alongside renewal of the heating system. ## FINANCIAL REVIEW BWMI’s policy on financial reserves is to hold sufficient resources to continue the charitable activities of the BWMI for at least 12 months, should income and fundraising activities fall short. Any surplus funds which are not likely to be needed to pay for activities will be placed on deposit to earn interest. There remains a need for us to continue to ensure that those to whom we direct our resources are the most suitable recipient and that we continue our prudent management of outgoings with foresight to fulfilling the Hall's community remit. Funds are currently adequate for any 12 months unanticipated shortfall but would need to be bolstered to support the key capital projects for car-park, site drainage and heating system renewal alongside any unforeseen needs arising in 2025.
