St James Community Partnership 

Annual Report January 2023 – March 2024 

The Community Hall, managed and maintained by St James Community Partnership, has been very active with regular group bookings, parties and events from across the community. 

Our regular groups continue to run efficiently and are a valued part of keeping the hall sustainable. 

We have had a variety of social events in the hall over the year e.g. King’s Coronation, Old Time Music Hall, Sixties Tea Afternoon, Spring and Christmas Fayres, Christmas Concert, Musical Show and Annual Pantomime which were all well attended. 

St James Community Partnership has supported the wider community with litter picking and an Easter Trail in the local park. 

The hall continues to be repaired, maintained and updated by the trustees.  New fire doors have been fitted, the main hall floor re-polished, CCTV cameras sited outside the building, blinds fitted to the main hall windows and the ceiling above the stage insulated. This was possible with funding from grants and donations. 

Future projects include: Ongoing painting and decorating Complete the replacement of all the windows Repair the wall by the front car park Refreshment room and rear hall to be completed Rear Car Park 

In addition major funding required to replace the heating system and the kitchen.
