Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
When faced with Closure of a great
many rural libraries by the local
authority due to funding difficutties,
representatives of the community were
able to secure long-term use of the
library premises and reach an
agreement with the local authority to
continue to supply both a stock of
books and a management system. This
enabled the basic functions of the
library to be maintained.
As a result of the dedication of the two
dozen volunteers, local businesses and
trustees, the library now acts as a focal
point for the local community. Not only
does it act as a valuable infomiation
resource for people of all age groups,
but its servlces and role has been
expended to host community groups,
social events, provide a safe warm
spacer and fund raise for further
ro
ects.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
idenlifying the difference the
charity's work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.

Flnancial Review
Review of the charity's
financial position at the end
ofthe period
Para 1.21
The charity is fortunate in being staffed
entirely by volunteers. Our premises are
let to us rent free and as such our
regular outgoings are modest. We are
fortunate in generating a regular income
from our locally based volunteer charity
shop and have also been subject to
additional grants and section 106 money
as a result of a recent development in
the village.
We are not a wealthy charity, but in light
of the above, we are confjdent in our
ability to continue to develop our role
within the communi
lon
-tem).
We retain money to ensure that should
any of our regular or ad hoc income
sources cease, we are able to continue
to function and deliver the servlce we
currently do until alternativo funding
methods are secured.
