is to provide a village hall for the use of
local residents of all ages and outlooks,
impartally, in order to improve their
‘conditons of life” and general wellbeing.

Mothers’ Union. In additon, we host a
weekly outreach Post Ofce service and a
monthly luncheon club for senior citzens.
Foryounger residents there are regular| |||actvites such as Train Time and a ‘Can Do
Kids’ group. We will also be hostng a
weekly Cofee Morning for local residents
from April this year.
With the beneft of a large hall, modern
kitchen and toilet facilites and up-to-date
conference facilites, all of which are
accessible, we also accommodate a range
of business, social and community events
such as pre-wedding celebratons, Mehndi
partes, graduaton partes as well as
birthday and other special family occasions.
Moreover, our Conference Suite is
increasingly used by local businesses for
training and ‘away day’ events.
For major natonal events such as the
World War 1 Commemoraton in 2018 and
the late Queen’s Platnum Jubilee in 2022,
we organise community-wide gatherings

reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identfying the diference
the charity’s work has made
to the circumstances of its
benefciaries and any wider
benefts to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|During 2025 Trustees were able to fnally
bring to fruiton its ‘SAFE” project (Safer
Access for Everyone) by raising sufcient
funds (over £100K) through local donatons
and successful grant applicatons, to both
purchase the land providing the only
vehicular access to the hall and its partners
organisatons; Wilpshire Wanderers FC and
Salesbury Bowling Club, and to also
redevelop the land to provide a two-lane
driveway with illuminated walkways for
pedestrians. This project has signifcantly
improved safer access and exit to the hall’s
estate for both cars and pedestrians and
has been a much welcomed improvement.
A further main achievement in 2025 has
been the transfer and merger of the
previous charity (reg. no. 512853) with the
CIO.
Throughout 2025 the charity contnued to
build upon its reputaton as a welcoming
venue for all members of the community,
ofering a diverse programme of actvites
and an atractve, well-maintained venue
for community events and family
celebratons.
As stated above, in terms of contributng
to the health and well-being of local
residents, the charity provides ftness, yoga
and badminton sessions twice per week
and a weekly Pilates class. We also host
monthly sewing workshops and ballroom
dancing sessions.
In additon, the following groups meet on a
monthly basis: the local Mothers’ Union, a
seniors’ lunch club and two local Parish
Councils. Other regular hirers include a
fower arranging group and a local nursery
which holds itgraduaton ceremonies at| the hall. Further we provide a venue for local walking groups who regularly use the hall for their planning meetings. The local church also has free use of the hall for four sessions throughout the year, which it regularly utilises for its Harvest Lunch, Quiz Night and other events. As well as the above, the hall continues to be a popular and valued venue for families and friends organising social gatherings for their children’s and other relatives’ birthdays or family occasions such as prewedding celebrations, graduations, Eid and New Year’s Eve parties and the like. The above demonstrates that the charity is neither reliant on a small number of hirers or hire types,but continues to broaden its appeal to a diverse range of hirers and activities. The charity has then, firmly re-established itself since the pandemic, as a vibrant community hub which enriches the lives of local residents, of all ages and cultural backgrounds, through providing a venue for a myriad of activities which focus on their health and well-being. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

fnancial positon at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The charity ended the year with a balance
of £22,286.92. This is an increase on 2024,
despite the charity having to dip into its
own reserves to fund the completon of the
new driveway where costs over ran slightly
and also some signifcant maintenance
costs which are detailed below.
Hires of the hall have remained buoyant
with an average increase of £2,000 per
annum over the past four years. Further,
the type and range of hires have widened
(and therefore the type and range of
visitors), so the charity is not reliant on any
partcular kind of actvity or demographic.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
statng why they are held|Para 1.22|Reserves are maintained at a level of
circa £15K - £17K to ensure that the
charity’s core activities can continue
during any period of unforeseen
difficulty. The calculation of the required
level of reserves are reviewed and
recorded in the annual review of the
charity’s Finance and Procurement
Policy & Procedures.
The charity’s ‘Three Year Financial Plan
2023 – 2026’ identified significant
projected
costs
which
were
implemented in 2024-5. The external
walls of the hall were re-rendered using
the charity’s reserves at a cost of
£8,180.64and the charity was also able
to pay for urgent repairs to the hall’s
roof at cost of £1,980.00. A new
upstairs window was also installed. The
replacement of the hall’s 16-year-old
boiler as well as the front door are
earmarked for 2026.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£17,390.54| |Reasons for holding zero
