Charlton Marshall Village Hall
Charity Number: 1191957
Report of the Trustees
for the Period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024
This is the trustees’ report for the financial year 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 for the above-named charity, located at Green Close Charlton Marshall Dorset DT11 9PF.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives, aims and public benefit
The Village Hall is a community building which opened in 2019 for the purpose of hiring to the residents of the Parish and the surrounding area, both to casual and regular users for recreation, leisure and social activities and events organised by these users and by the committee or its nominees for fundraising and/or community activities. Charges are made per hour used, as agreed by the trustees, to cover all expenses and to form a reserve for the future.
Significant activities and achievements
The Hallmaster on-line booking system installed last year has continued to be one of our greatest assets and as well as assisting the work of the trustees by providing a reliable system without the need for 24-hour monitoring, it gives users a visible diary and easy to use method of booking. In addition, our booking secretary is able to provide a summary of projected income for the coming year based on the bookings currently in place, which is a useful tool when setting and planning budgets and maintenance work, and as result a necessary increase was made to hire charges.
Our monthly Film Nights continue to be a popular event, as well as our twice-yearly community craft fairs, which are well attended by both local artisans and members of the community.
Without any major projects during the year, we have ensured that necessary maintenance issues, such as repairing leaks, replacing ceiling blinds and widening an important access point into a storage area, along with painting and providing additional fans, have all been addressed and completed.
FUTURE PLANS
A monitoring system is currently in place to determine our current usage of the electricity generated by the solar panels covering the roof on the south side of the building. This will enable us to make an important decision later in the 2024-2025 year as whether the purchase of storage batteries will be in our best interest. This will be a major and substantial purchase and one which we need to ensure is made with the best information available. Work will also be undertaken to ensure that vehicles entering and leaving our car park do so safely and easily.
The trustees will continue to encourage and promote the use of the village hall and offer the residents of the village and the wider population the opportunity to continue to enjoy the popular monthly film nights and additional community events, which will be open to all.
