**St James Community Partnership St James Community Hall, BeaufortGrove, Bradford BD2 4LJ** Email: stjamescommunityhall@gmail.com Tel: 07955 678448 **Chair’s Annual Report June 2025** **It has been another busy year for St James Community Partnership.** **St James Community Hall continues to thrive with the groups offering a range of activities for all ages and being a valued part in keeping the hall sustainable. Without the continued regular bookings of groups the hall would not be able to keep up with maintenance and costly utility bills.** **Social events have included a Spring Fayre (unfortunately a Christmas Fayre was cancelled when snow fell), a Variety Show jointly performed by Castaways and St James Players with proceeds being donated for the purchase of folding tables and extra chairs, a Play, Christmas Concert and the Annual Pantomime.** **The hall continues to be used by the community for private parties with families enjoying the versatility of the space it provides.** **The Partnership were able to support the Friends of Peel Park after the fire at their café with a donation and use of the hall for a meeting. They also ensured the hall was available for the performers taking part in the concert held in the church in November.** **Work to maintain and make the hall energy efficient has continued to be undertaken with the help of grants plus donations from the Line Tappers Dance Group.** **All the windows have now been replaced, work continues to complete insulation above the stage and the chill out room and rear toilets are almost fully renovated.** **In addition the wall at the end of the car park was re built and all the guttering has been replaced on the building.** **Plans are underway to renovate the rear hall and cellar to make a more useable space that can be hired separately in the future. There is always on going repairs and maintenance to ensure the building is a safe, secure welcoming space for all users.** **As Chair, I would like to thank the trustees, all volunteers, who have supported the partnership by attending our meetings and helped to provide a warm, friendly and inviting community space.** St James Community Partnership is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
