Ringmer Village Hall Charity No 207885 Trustees Report for 2022

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

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.

The Trustees express their thanks to Sharon Rose for ensuring the halls are cleaned to a high standard. The monitoring of changes as Covid restrictions were removed brought a different workload to our administrator due to the need to communicate with users; the Trustees thank Bren Bonner for her work.

Due to Covid restrictions the hall had a significant drop in use for much of 2021; 2022 started with fewer groups meeting, some with reduced numbers. As 2022 progressed hall bookings improved and growing confidence improved attendance within groups. There were some small groups who chose to disband, some due to a fall in member numbers, other groups found that there were no volunteers to run the group. This appears to be a trend within current society.

Planning and implementing approved building improvements continued. Works to combine the Rogers Room (RR) and former Parish office were completed, subsequently the new Rogers Room was renamed the Alan West Room (AW). To aid wheelchair access to the AW room, an access ramp was purchased. The Symons Hall and Jack Hart kitchens were remodelled and fully refurbished during 2022. Conversion work to the caretakers’ store enabled an accessible toilet to be installed. Replacement doors were installed to the Alan West entrance and the Symons Hall, this entrance benefited from a powered opening door. An access control system has been installed coupled to a new fire detection system. We would like to record our thanks for the funding that made these improvements possible from the National Lottery, Sussex Community Foundation and Community Infrastructure Levey (CIL) payments from Lewes District Council and Ringmer Parish Councils

The Village Library has maintained a service throughout 2022 with an increased number of members, throughout 2022 book delivery has continued to those unable to get to the library, and it opened extra sessions under the Warm Spaces scheme, funded by Ringmer Parish Council. It is a credit to Trustee Liz Owen and the other volunteers who have kept this service expanding during a very difficult period. The library is in a very strong position for continued growth and support to the community in the coming years.

The Charity has been fortunate to have recruited a new Trustee, Malcolm Hart. There is a vacancy for a person who would like to support and give guidance in running the village hall. The village hall is run entirely by volunteers who would welcome others to support the heart of the community.

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.
