Ringmer Village Hall Charity No207885

Trustees Annual Report for 2021

To be discussed at the Management Meeting following the AGM before submission to the Charity Commission.

The continuing outbreak of the virus Covid-19 from early 2020 has had a significant impact on the usage of the village hall. One result is a significant reduction in income

It was not possible to hold an Annual General Meeting in 2021, face to face committee meetings continued to be replaced by social media (Zoom). One benefit of holding committee meetings via Zoom has been an increase in the number of users joining the debate.

Whilst the initial reaction to the lockdown was, how will the Charity manage without any income whilst incurring costs to maintain background heating and essential services? Financial support from central Government the Parish Council and the Baptist Church has enabled the Charity’s accounts to be contained to a loss of £4068 for 2021; when grants and donations have been deducted from income. The Trustees express their thanks for the work of the Treasurer in keeping them informed of the Charity’s financial position and recommendations for action.

As time progressed and increased use of the hall was allowed, the management procedures needed to be constantly reviewed to ensure that the hall could maintain ‘Covid Secure’ status. Maintaining this status has required the daily cleaning of the hall to be confident that the hall is Covid Secure. The Trustees express their thanks to Sharon Rose for ensuring the halls are cleaned to a high standard. The monitoring of change and the need to communicate with users brought a different work load to our administrator; the Trustees thank Bren Bonner for her work.

Even though the hall had limited use for much of 2021, planning for the future has continued. The Trustees agreed that with the departure of the Parish Council from the village hall there was an opportunity to combine the old Parish office with the adjacent room. This will provide a better sized meeting room more suited to current demands. Once completed the improvements will enable the Library and St Mary’s room to support other activities. The decision to combine rooms and upgrade the Jack Hart kitchen resulted in a successful bid for financial support from Lewes District Council and Ringmer Parish Council. Architects and a Structural Surveyor were appointed, detailed designs were prepared, Planning and Building Control approval completed, works tendered and contractors appointed. Works commenced in early December 2021 with a planned completion in April 2022. Whilst restricting general expenditure on maintenance; improvements to access control through keypads have been implemented. Trustees express their thanks to John Jackson for leading on this project.

The Village Library has maintained a service throughout 2021 with a mix of limited access, requested book pickup and delivery to those unable to go out. It is a credit to Trustee Liz Owen and the other volunteers who have kept this service going during a very difficult period. The library is in a very strong position for continued growth in the coming years.

The Trustees thank two retiring Trustees, John Jackson and Sharon Willits both have served on the committee for many years. The Charity has been fortunate to have recruited a new Trustee, Marisa Hayes.

The Charity despite the reduced income over the past two years is financially sound and needs to look to the future to be sure that it delivers what is required to an ever increasing population.
