## **2023/2024 TRUSTEES’ REPORT TO THE CHARITY COMMISSION** ## **GENERAL** The community was welcomed to the 2024 Annual General Meeting of the Lambeage Hall Committee and some 20 attended and two members of the community joined the committee. It has been a very busy, challenging and exciting year and I have recorded some of the many events we have seen over the past year. Firstly, huge thanks to all the members of the committee and volunteers who have given their time and talents to making the hall function so successfully. We are very sorry that Sue Martin is no longer able to carry on as Secretary and has resigned. We will miss her valuable input but are very grateful to other committee members who have taken on her duties. **BUILDING PROJECT** By far the most significant event is the receipt of sufficient funds to commence work on the extension and redevelopment project as a result of five years of grant applications. Principal funders are the ‘good growth’ programme, the Platinum Fund, the Duchy Health Charity and generous donations from the community. Our Architect, Susan Kinver of CSA Architects and her professional team have expertly led the project from feasibility and design stages to the present and we were very pleased to welcome her to update the committee on the project. Inevitably we have had to close much of the hall while works are in progress with a significant loss of income. ## **EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES** **Community Events Hirings** Fete and Dog Show Horticulture Show Villages in action Coverack Art Society Social Art Courses Community and Christmas lunches Weddings St Patrick coffee morning Menage Archaeological Group Apple Day Seamus Carey Play area and improvements. **Carn to Cove Partnership** Bar Chapel Street ensemble (classical quintet) Julian Gaskell and his ragged trousered philanthropists **Lambeage promoted.
