## **WING HALL TRUSTEES REPORT - YEAR ENDED 30 SEPT 2024** 

Wing Hall continues to be a popular venue for a wide range of events, used by parish residents as well as those from further afield. 

Continuing use means continuing management and maintenance. The Trustees are also working members of the Executive Committee, which includes four members of the parish as well as representatives of the Parish Council. Three paid members of staff look after the daily running of the hall and non-regular bookings, cleaning and routine maintenance. Everyone works hard but happily. 

The Trust's finances remain sound. The importance of the need to maintain good reserves was underlined by the Covid pandemic, a need which must be carefully balanced against the continuing demands for building repair and maintenance. 

In addition to income from Hall hirings and Library rent, the Trustees manage Charlotte Cottage, adjacent to the Hall. Charlotte Cottage has a mix of residential and office accommodation. Residential occupancy remains steady, with no significant void periods, and the Trustees strive to maintain rents at affordable levels, reflecting our responsibilities as an organisation serving the community. We are pleased to have recently received confirmation that Thames Valley Police, who maintain an office in the building, have decided to continue their tenancy, one begun over twenty years ago. 

A rolling program of building repair and maintenance ensures that the century old buildings remain in good, safe and attractive shape. We continue to invest in energy-saving improvements and enhancements for both buildings, and have recently invest significant sums in removal of potentially hazardous materials from Charlotte Cottage. 

Following the retirement of Neil Freeman as a Trustee, we have appointed Arthur Jones and Greg Wakefield as Trustees.
