Trustees undertook discussions with the owner of Ryde Town Hall regarding a lease or outright purchase of the building. 

We also lobbied local councillors to take action to ensure that the owner was fulfilling their obligations to protect and preserve the building. It is a grade II listed building which has been left to decay since it was purchased from the Isle of Wight Council in 2013. 

**these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

To further our educational aims we met with a number of academics from the University of Portsmouth, with a view to improving access to further education for Ryde residents. 

In shaping our objectives and planning our activities, the trustees confirm that they have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**achievements of the charity during the year** 

Trustees met with a number of local and national organisations for advice and support with our aims. This included grant funding bodies such as Historic England and the Architectural Heritage Fund. Numerous meetings were held with local cultural groups and organisations for both advice and to gauge demand for the future use of the building. We gained the support of many, including Creative Island which is the cultural development agency for the Isle of Wight. 

We also had discussions with a possible benefactor, who was interested in making a sizeable donation that could aid in the outright purchase of the building. 

Volunteers from the Friends of Ryde Town Hall (FORTH) assisted us by undertaking a substantial consultation with residents and local stakeholders. A total of 1,086 surveys were completed and the results were compiled into an impressive 71 page report. This will be an invaluable document for any grant funding applications.

## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

We do not have a reserves policy as there has been no financial activity to warrant one. 

## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

The trust did not hold a bank account during this reporting period, as a profound disagreement regarding governance between trustees inhibited the proper functioning of the charity. 

After the appointment of new trustees and resignations of others, the trust is now robust and has since secured banking facilities with Unity Trust Bank. 

- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
