benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The village hall was leased to the charity
from 30thApril 2024. The facility was
launched in May 2024 and opened for
events from 1stJune 2024.
Since the launch, the hall has primarily been
used for community events open to all, run
by volunteers. These have included regular
Community Coffee Mornings with a free
book exchange, Bingo, Silent Disco, Cheese
& Wine evening, Table Top sales etc.
The fundraising events raise money for
village as well as for other charity causes
Plans are being developed to run more
regular activities with volunteer help which
will be open to all residents and a Craft &
Chatter group has very recently been set up.
The Trustees are very grateful for the
support of the members of the Community
Partnership for their help in putting on events
and activities for community benefit.
Additional revenue has been generated by
private hirers for a variety of purposes e.g.
Art classes, Birthday parties, Funeral teas,
Canine 1stAid, Silent Disco, Yoga Days,
Meetings etc.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|In creating this document, the Trustees have
given full regard to the Guidance on Public
Benefit issued by the Charity Commission| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|Not applicable| |Policy on social investment

volunteers|Para 1.38|The volunteers have worked hard helping
the Trustees get the hall kitted out. The
Charity purchased a number of items, but a
number of items were generously donated
by private benefactors.
Community activities and events, fundraising
to do so and helping to keep the hall
grounds in good order are conducted entirely
by volunteers.| |Other||The village hall and grounds are owned by
the Allington & Boscombe Parish Council
and leased to the Trustees who manage the
facility with the support of a management
team (volunteers) comprising village
members.| ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The hall has been constructed as part of a
small housing development which has meant
building good relationships with near
neighbours with regard to the use of the hall
and grounds. This is an ongoing
commitment.
The ‘soft launch’ was well supported with
bookings made for private events and with
keen interest shown for regular community
activities. The latter are increasingly well
supported, providing a welcome place for
residents to meet and keep in contact. This
is something the residents have lacked for
many years.
The challenge is to increase the number of
volunteers to help put on activities. The long
wait for the hall to open has depleted the
number of those who were interested in
helping.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
