**Wolvey Village Hall Foundation C.I.O.** ## **Wolvey Village Hall Foundation C.I.O.** ## **’ - Trustees Report 2024 2025** ## **2024** This was a big year for Wolvey Village Hall (WVH) having raised refurbishment funds and secured multiple grants from many supporters. WVH liquidated savings accounts and, together with the grant funding, we were able to commence refurbishment in May 2024, with an ambitious programme of re-opening for the first week of September. This meant a full closure of the hall with relocation of the regular users to nearby local facilities. The works were to see a multitude of environmentally friendly upgrades to include extensive insulation upgrades throughout the building along with new windows, internal and external doors, new LED lighting, WC upgrades, 2 new fitted kitchens, decorating throughout with new flooring etc…, leaving the cherished wooden floors in situ (see comment below). Remodelling of the back of the hall rooms to become a brand-new Garden Room with direct access onto the hall garden, accessible WC and serving hatch to kitchen 2. Window blinds and new stage curtains added to the overall new look of the hall along with new tables and chairs throughout. Usual issues were encountered during the works mainly down to the age of the building but nothing that could not be overcome. The first week of September loomed and we managed to pull out all the stops to complete on time and to budget except for some minor extras which were required and covered by provisional sums. WVH is supported well by the local community and some further afield regular bookings and we have managed to welcome back everyone from before the closure, along with many more local regular hirers. We have a well visited website and Facebook page, with many followers (490) and over 31,000 views per month. Managed by 4 Trustees and a strong management team of 15 including a Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary (officers) who are also supported by local volunteers (The Coffee Crew) which number over 16, who regularly give up their time, to make the hall a welcoming place to be and to ensure the events all run smoothly. From Charity Coffee Mornings with mini explorers, Community Café, Tai Chi, Pilates, Easy Exercise, Indoor Bowls, etc… keeps us all busy and the hall a vibrant centre of our community. Complexity of the accounts this year led to a late submission. However we needed to ensure everything was correct and our new Treasurer (Chartered Accountant) has completed the accounts to a high standard separating out the Capital works monies and the Revenue to Charity Number: 1193439 **Wolvey Village Hall Foundation C.I.O.** reflect the position following the refurbishment spend and true revenue and expenses. These accounts are submitted and lodged with this return. ## **2025** Still a challenging year to tie up the loose ends of the contract works and completion of the new Memorial Garden along with soldier silhouettes (male & female) and the addition of a new garden shed. Works to the wooden floors are nearing completion (main hall planned in early 2026). Ongoing maintenance is always needed as the hall reflects the increased footfall and the planned security works (CCTV and new rear gate) adds to the chores of the team. Updating of the policies and procedures along with the requirements to meet the increased workload of the hall have been ongoing, with the appointment of a Bookings Secretary to aid the smooth running of the calendar and diaries, supported by a nominated Social Media officer and a poster creator helps spread the load of the Officers. Regular advertising by social media, posters, leaflet drops, local magazines and of course recommendation seems to continue the success of the hall. It is recognised that huge thanks are needed for the team and the community without whom the hall would not be the successful place it is today and we look forwards to a successful 2025 -2026 and beyond.
