Section D
Achievements and performance
As noted above, the charity's trustees used the time between its
registralion on 19° October 2021 and the vesling of the assels held by
the previous charity on 19 July 2022 to review and fomulate strategies
for the future operation of the buildings for which it would assume
responsibility. In this respect, trustees of the previous charity had
devoted considerable time and effort over a number of year5 in drawing
up plans for the renovation of The Corner House in particular, which is a
Grade114isted building in a prorninent position in the town centre.
Special consideration has had to be given to ensuring a balance between
maintaining the building's heritage value. enhancing rts usability as a
community venue, and reducing its environmental footprint in tems of
improvements to its energy-use efficiency. When it took place, the
transfer of assels from the previous charity included beneficial ownership
of The Comer House and the Memorial Hall to the CIO, with Charlbury
Town Council conb"nuing in its role as legal owner and custodian trustee
of the properties.
Summary ofthe main
achievements of the charity
during the year
During the last six rnonths of 2022, the charily *KdS able to maintain its
financial viability, with continuing demand for $pa¢e-hire in both buildings.
In addition to the Comerslone project la free community-sharing hub that
provides food and seN1￿$ to members of the community who are in
financial dtfficufty}. the local Art Souety made use of one room in The
Comer House for the whole period as an art studio and workshop.
Together wth the long-tenn use of an Offi￿ space by a small
intemational charity. these projects provided regular and stable income.
In addition, the expansion of the exisling second-hand bookshop in The
Comer House brought in signrficantly more revenue to the charity. A new
on4ine booking system was introduce lo assist in managing space hire,
and has proved to be both effiuent and popular with users.
Work on renovating and redecorating the Memorial Hall was essentially
completed by the end of 2022. A similar exercise for The Comer House,
11 be a much more complex undertaking in view of the building's
heritage status. planning for this remaining work-in-progress.
During the period under review, a number of the charity's initial voluntary
trustees resigned or did not seek re-appointment. While these we
mainly for reasons involving olher commitments. the sudden death of
Rev. Jeff West at the end of 2022 deprived the charity of his lifetime's
experience in managing and maintaining heritage buildings, experience
that has been sorely missed.
In conclusion, the trustees would like to reiterate their sincere gratitude to
everyone Imthin the local communty who has helped to ensure the
charty's viability through volunteering their time and skills. In particular.
special thanks are due to the organisers of Street Fair and to the
volunteers who have helped the event to bounce back from the downtum
that resutted from the Covid pandemic. The funds that Street Fair raise
eath year are essential to keeping The Comer House and the Memorial
Hall fvnctioning for the benefrt of Chadbury and its local community.
