|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|The hall was closed for business in March<br>2024, demolished and a new hall is<br>currently being re-built. The old hall was<br>over 70 years old, internally the building<br>lacked flexibility and was unsuited for<br>adaptation, poorly insulated and costly<br>to heat. Toilet facilities and disabled<br>access were inadequate with a<br>shortage of storage. Externally the<br>walls showed signs of dampness, and<br>the windows needed replacing.<br>With the aid of a Welsh Government grant<br>and our own funds a new modern hall has<br>been designed which will offer better<br>facilities for users including a large room<br>seating 150 people, two meeting rooms<br>and a modern kitchen.<br>Solar panels have been installed to supply<br>energy to the grid and in future to charge<br>batteries for our own use. Heating will be<br>by means of air source and with facility for<br>air conditioning if required.<br>Five tenders were received and a price of<br>£654,500 was accepted. Building works<br>were commenced in March and is<br>scheduled for completion in December<br>2024.<br>In view of the commitment to build the new<br>Hall, the previous Charity was closed and<br>all assets transferred to the new CIO in<br>January 2024.|
