At the request of the Charity Commission the Object of the Charity was amended during the year. The Object of the Charity and application of income and property and its public benefit is now:
The provision and maintenance of the Village Hall for the use of local inhabitants, without religious or political distinction, for meetings, lectures, classes and recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
The income and property of the Charity must be applied solely towards the promotion of the Object of the Charity. None of the income or property of the Charity may be paid or transferred directly or indirectly by way of dividend, bonus or otherwise by way of profit to any member of the Charity.
The object of the Charity is wholly for the public benefit.
Under a Deed dated 4 July 1899 the land and premises were vested in the Official Custodian and so continue.
The Charity only commenced operating on 1 November 2023 when, by way of a General Vesting Declaration, the activities and assets were passed to it by the previously existing Malvern Wells Village Hall charity number 206763. That original charity number 206763 was closed by the Charity Commission on 6 March 2025.
During the year under review the Trustees have attempted to ensure that the Village Hall is frequently used by local organisations and individuals. The Wells Club, located in the lower ground floor of the Village Hall has continued to thrive. The flat, also on the lower ground floor, has been occupied throughout the period. The resulting income from all the use of the Village Hall has enabled the Trustees to ensure that the premises have been properly maintained without having to use surplus income from previous years. All surplus income is retained to cover the cost of any future significant maintenance of the Village Hall and, as appropriate, is held within an interestbearing deposit account. The Charity has no employees.
For the period under review the income was £12,379 and the expenditure was £8,519. This is for the twelve months from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024.
On 31 December 2024 the cash at bank was £7,841 and on deposit was £31,233. The reserve at 31 December 2024 was £38,959.
The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ Report above.
