**Trustees / Committee Report 2024 – Ombersley Memorial Village Hall Charity No.** As a very cohesive committee we are immensely proud of our village hall and with good reason. It is a unique venue – a wonderful space with the pluses of excellent facilities, ample and secure car parking and an attractive garden facility. We have a wide range of hirers – both for social events and ongoing activities ranging from Art Groups to Pilates. Hiring is at near capacity, and we regularly host fund raising events, therefore we remain financially stable and are in a good position should any major works occur. The village is expanding rather fast, and we promote the hall accordingly via our website and social media to ensure that the Hall remains a centre for all. Our Community Tea Shop hosts a variety of people and supports those that require company and a friendly environment to meet others. Monthly Accounts are issued to the committee for their approval and annually audited by an independent auditor. We work closely with the local PSCO and the Parish Council. We have invested in extending the Community patio area and additional garden furniture to accommodate all parishioners. We have also updated our projector and sound equipment to host Movie Nights. Additional access ramps have been installed. Hall Trustees / Committee 26[th] September 2024 ## **Statement of the position of the holding trustees for Ombersley Memorial Hall.** 1. The constituent instrument for Ombersley Memorial Hall is the trust deed of 1923 by which the land on which the Hall stands was made available by the then Lord Sandys. 2. By the deed, the land was conveyed to trustees. Their only function under the Deed is to hold the land on trust to allow it to be used in perpetuity as a place of recreation and social intercourse for all, by way of the Hall built on it and its grounds. They are thus holding trustees. 3. The management of the Hall is placed by the Deed in the hands of the Executive Committee (usually known as the Management Committee). That committee fulfils the function often discharged in other charities by managing trustees. The holding trustees have no management function and are appointed from time to time by that Committee. They hold office as such until they retire or become unable to discharge their function. 4. Such holding trustees have been appointed as necessary ever since 1923. The Trust Deed stipulates that there should be not fewer than 3 nor more than 7. There are currently seven, all long-term residents of the village. Sir Anthony Hughes Chairman of the holding trustees. September 2024. ## **OMBERSLEY MEMORIAL HALL** ## **Balance Sheet as at 31st December 2023** |Notes
