## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From 01/01/2024 To 31/12/2024** ## **Charity name: Walton Village Hall Wetherby** ## **Charity registration number: 1196471** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The objects of the CIO are to establish and
run a village hall and to promote for the
benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of
Walton, Wetherby (“area of benefit”)
without distinction of sex, sexual
orientation, age, disability, nationality, race
or political, religious or other opinions the
provision of facilities for recreation or other
leisure time occupation of individuals who
have need of such facilities by reason of
their youth, age, infirmity or disablement,
financial hardship or social and economic
circumstances or for the public at large in
the interests of social welfare and with the
object of improving the conditions of life of
the said inhabitants.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Our activities aim to serve a wide range of
users, both from the parish and
surrounding areas. These include an art
group, a school holiday club, young
farmers, Pilates and yoga classes, Church
and Parish Council events, as well as
children’s parties and wedding receptions.
The hall was closed from January until mid-
May for building work, but in all we still had
44 different users booking the hall during the
period, and several hundred visitors.
Community events were held for bonfire
night and at Christmas.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The trustees have had regard to the
guidance issued by the Charity
Commission on public benefit| ## **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|For the first part of the year, the hall was
closed for building work, for which funding
had been secured during the previous year.
An extension to house new toilet facilities
was built, and the old facilities converted to
much needed storage space. Insulation was
added to the ceiling, the floor in the main hall
replaced, and a new heating system
installed. During the course of the project
additional works became necessary – two
existing sections of roof were replaced - and
a loan was secured to fund this. A new
kitchen was fitted, new furniture procured,
and the hall totally re-decorated.
This work has vastly improved the comfort
and attractiveness of the hall for its
beneficiaries and helped to secure its future
as a valuable local asset.
After the hall re-opened, through promotion
on social media and other channels, we
have again continued to increase usage of
the village hall both in terms of regular
users and one-off hires for parties,
weddings and other events. The hall is
thriving both as a focal point for parish
activities and in serving the social needs of
the surrounding area.| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end

slightly below plan, with a cash balance of
£4,551 and no contractual financial
commitments. The charity has taken out a
loan of £20,000 to cover unforeseen
building costs. There is no contractual
repayment obligation, but we aim to repay it
over a period of 5 years. The charity is
forecast to earn a surplus in the
forthcoming year from its activities.| |Statement explaining the

balance of £5000, which would be sufficient
to sustain operations without any further
