Registered Charfty Number 1207499
For the year endlng 31st March 2026
The Friends of Goadby Marwood Village Hall (FOGMVH) is an established commun
group which took the fornal step of becoming a registered Charitable Incorporated
Organisation {CIO) on 19th Klarch 2024.
The preservation. Maintenan￿ and enhancement of the fabric and facilities of the
Grade11 li51ed Goadby Marwood Village Hall is the prime aim of the FOGMVH. thereby
ensuring that an appropriate venue is available to the local communty as a meeting
point for a diverse range of age groups and intsrests, and to also encourage and foster
a strong and active community spiriL
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under the Charities Act
2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when
reviewing our aims arKI objectives and in tre plannirvJ of our aclivrties including the
organisation of fundraising events and the pursuit of extemal funding opportunities.
A considerable amount of time and effort over the last two years has b￿n put into
securing appropriate funding to allow for the refurbishment and extension of the village
hall which has experienced some deterioration over recent yeaT5. It was therefore
tremendously exciting and rewarding to secure swJnificant grant funding from various
sources in the last financial year. particularly a grant agreed of alrnost £203,000 from
the National Lottery Heritage Fund, 50% of which has already b￿n received with the
balance due in the financial year 2026 127. Various addf(ional grant allocations within
the financial year added a further £34,000 to the refurt)ishment fund.
Consequentty. followirKJ year end, in May 2026 we will begin a iwenty Iwo week
construction programme which will refurbish and reconfigure the existing hall and
provide a new kitchen extension. This will ensure thal our prime aim, referred to in
paragraph two above, ts secured and enhanced for Ihe k)ng tenn and will confirm the
continuation of this valuable c(xnmunty asset
Furthertime arKI effort during the year resulted in Ihe FOGMVH securing a fonnal lease
and land registy entry for the building which will also therefore provKJe a stronger level
of legal securty for the hall.
The net effect of grant funding receipts. furxlraising activrties and expenditure in the
financial year was a surplus of £116.472.02. At the year end, £41,860 is in
Unrestricted Funds and £120.154 in a Restricted Fund to be used ft>r the village hall
refurbishment. All the funds are held in three Lloyds Bank accounts, a Charity Account
for day to day operating costs. an Instsnt Account for specffic ringfenced amounts,
and the largest amount in a 32 Day Noti￿ account which is interest bearing lo further
boost income.
