The name of the charity is ‘New Victory Hall’. **Page 3 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD** **email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Appointment of Trustees** The number of Trustees is capped at 15 with up to five being elected annually by the community at the Annual General Meeting. Up to eight Trustees may be appointed by the main user groups and parish councils to act as their representatives and a further two Trustees may be co-opted. The Trustees elect from their number a Chairman and appoint a Treasurer and Minute Secretary. Decisions are taken by majority vote. The following groups provided Trustees during 2023: Neatishead & Barton Society (Amateur Dramatics) Neatishead Community Gym WI WISE ## **Management Structure** Events, Village Screen and Premises Management are run by committees which operate to a written remit approved by the Trustees. Other key roles (Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Bookings, IT) are filled by individual Trustees, who operate according to their specific Roles and Responsibility statements. The hall is managed in accordance with a number of policy documents (including Health and Safety, Safeguarding, Computer Use, Environmental Policy). All policy documents are available on the website. Roles, Responsibilities and Policies are reviewed and updated annually by Trustees. ## **Charity Objectives** The New Victory Hall is used for social, recreational, educational and leisure purposes. It is managed by Trustees who are responsible for maintaining and operating the building in a manner that benefits and improves the quality of life for all the local community without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, including use for: - (a) meetings, lectures and classes, and - (b) other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation. **Page 4 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD** **email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Activities and Public Benefit** The Trustees are satisfied that the New Victory Hall complies with the Charity Commission’s guidance on providing ‘public benefit’ in accordance with our Charity Objectives. In 2023 the hall was used by a wide cross-section of local and outside user-groups and individuals for a range of different activities, including: Art Group Community Heritage Group Elections Parish Council meetings Community Market Friends & Neighbours Club Bowls Club Bridge Club Broad Beat Choir Craft group Gardening Club Knit and Stitch group Neatishead Community Gym NABS (Drama Group) Broadland School of Dance Pilates Ukulele Group Village Screen Warm Space Group Wherry Band WISE Womens’ Institute Yoga Childrens’ Parties Weddings and Private functions Corporate / NGO hirers Church hire Trustees try to ensure that the hall is available and suitable for use by as wide a cross-section of the community as possible and that hire charges remain affordable for local users. This is achieved partly by trying to maximise the use of the hall and partly by marketing the hall at more ‘commercial’ rates to outside organisations. The hire bookings for the hall together with fundraising and regular events such as Community Market and Village Screen provide a wide ranging mix of activities for the community. **Page 5 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD** **email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Financial Controls / Policies** ## _**Treasurer Roles and Responsibilities**_ The Treasurer has a defined set of Roles and Responsibilities that is reviewed each year by the Trustees. The Treasurer receives no allowances or increment for performance of the duties. ## _**Cheque signatories**_ All cheques and mandates require two signatories for payments. On-line payments require dual authorisation. The signatories are chosen by the Trustees and include the Chairman and Treasurer and Events Co-ordinator. ## _**On –line Banking**_ Trustees have authorised two of the authorised cheque signatories to make regular and preauthorised payments using on line banking. ## _**Depreciation Policy**_ The Charity takes account in its budget of the need to cover the future cost of equipment replacement and building repairs. ## _**Reserves**_ The Trustees have agreed that the Charity should maintain a level of reserves of at least £3,000 in its operational (current) account that covers at least one month’s average operating costs and would deal with fluctuations in income such as the loss of a regular user-group. Sums above this level are available to further the Charity objectives during 2024 and onwards. ## _**Deposits**_ The Charity’s reserves and funds awaiting disbursement are held on an instant access business deposit account at Barclays Bank and long term reserves are on deposit at COIF Charity Funds. ## _**Cash handling**_ All payments are made by cheque, on-line banking or direct debit. Cash is received from donations, hire income and fund raising and is banked immediately. The Charity does not operate a petty cash system. ## _**Accounts Examiner**_ The Annual Accounts are examined by an independent and qualified person in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Regulations 2008. A report is prepared which is attached to the accounts. **Page 6 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD** **email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Financial Summary for 2023.** The accounts show a positive financial position has been maintained in 2023 with a surplus of £51,174.00 in the bank at the end of year. Overall income was £39,490 which exceeded budget projections by £8128 and expenditure was £42,444 which exceeded budget by £7967 giving a deficit of £2954. The small deficit results from paying the last stage payment (approximately £5000) for render works which although carried out in 2022, were paid for in early 2023. In addition, an employee who resigned in 2020, filed a claim in May 2023 at the County Court for Breach of Contract. This caused the Trustees to take further legal advice on the matter and after very careful consideration the Trustees decided it was in the interests of the Charity and its trustees to robustly defend the claim. The matter was concluded at mediation which was part of the Court process. The legal fees and mediation costs were £3609 and are shown accordingly in the accounts. The Annual Financial Return (presented by the Treasurer) gives details of all income and expenditure and shows the hall continues to have adequate contingency reserves. The global financial situation affects the hall like any other organisation but despite its adverse impacts, it is pleasing to see some interest from reserve savings for the first time in many years. The general national financial situation has continued to impact the hall with ever rising costs so every effort has been made to ensure value for money in all running costs especially the lead costs of insurance and energy. Savings of £720 were identified (effective in 2024) from cancelling the external BT telephone line and changes to broadband service as well as in servicing of alarm systems and GSHP. The 2 year energy contract with British Gas runs until November 2024 and has been advantageous, as far as can be judged, in the still volatile energy market. Hire revenues, the main income source, were £2,101.00 more than in 2022 due mainly to increased numbers of private hire bookings and special bookings such as the NABS production in November 2023. A review of hire rates was carried out during the year and trustees decided that hire rates needed to increase across the board by 10% from 1 January 2024. This is the first increase since 2018 and was inevitable as the rising costs of operating the hall could not be sustained without impacting the hall’s reserves for maintenance and development. As the building is of a somewhat hybrid nature and the usage considerable, the Trustees are very committed to ensuring adequate reserves. Results from fundraising events in the year have been exceptionally good. The Christmas Fair with Santa, The Car Display and The Bands-together Evening were outstanding successes. The Community Market and Village Screen are important contributors to hall finances and raised £1438 and £57 net respectively but more importantly they give a lovely opportunity for people to meet whether that is a coffee or a chat about a film they might not otherwise have seen. The 200 Club ran throughout the year adding £1654.00 net to hall funds. Many thanks to all involved in these activities. Many thanks to the Treasurer for managing the hall’s finances and keeping Trustees so well informed. **Page 7 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD** **email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Sources of Hire Income** **Every booking and every group is important to the hall but these figures show undoubtably there are some lead groups whose bookings are big factors in the income and use of the hall. They also provide a great measure of stability from which all users benefit.** **Page 8 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD** **email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Fund Raising Income** The Events Team ran two very successful quiz nights, a new venture of a Bands-together Evening proved a huge success as did a Classic Car Display. In June, the hall was decorated for a very special occasion to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III and a toast was raised in his honour. The year finished on a high with a record breaking Christmas Fair which included a visit from Santa and his elves and the last event of the year was a Christmas evening with the Wherry Band. In total The Events Committee raised £4697 net which is a significant contribution to hall funds. Thanks to the White House Stores for selling tickets for all the events and films and to the NIB Team for publishing all NVH events and notices. A very special event took place in April as we celebrated and thanked Mrs Dolly Newcombe, BEM for over 25 years’ service as a Trustee. There were smiles, laughs, hugs and a few tears. The Community Room was renamed the Dolly Newcombe Community Room to make a lasting tribute to all that Dolly has achieved. The 200 Club, the Farmers Market now Community Market and Village Screen also contributed to fundraising. **Page 9 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD** **email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Premises Management** The Premises Team has been active throughout the year doing an excellent job in keeping the hall well maintained, safe, clean and well organised. The growing level of usage and the fact that the hall is now nearly 15 years old means that more maintenance work is needed and costs are rising. Essential repairs and maintenance have been on-going but although mainly of a routine and minor nature, some larger work was needed. During the year, the main hall floor has had 2 protective treatments applied at minimal cost as it was done by cleaners and volunteers, the main sliding doors had to have gliders replaced cost £132, electrical repairs and converting to LED bulbs cost £1092, work to audio visual system cost £348 and a roof leak was identified on the Community Room now stopped. The red chairs were re-upholstered, cost £299 and a replacement intruder alarm fitted £942. Plans have been made for internal decorating which is scheduled for early 2024. There are no Health and Safety issues to report. A contractor provides an excellent service looking after grass and hedge cutting and is working very hard to keep the grounds in good order. Volunteers have made the environs of the hall site more wildlife friendly and the outcomes of their work are beginning to show including some improvements to hedges and creating a wild meadow area to rear of the premises. The Trustees are very grateful for the help and advice given. The solar panels on the roof generated an income of £816 from generating 2,285 kWh units and 1,141 kWh were fed into the national grid which is approx. 5% increase on previous years. The rate per kWh has increased as energy costs have accelerated. Trustees wish to consider whether it is appropriate to have more solar panels fitted to offset energy costs. The Trustees employ two cleaners on a part time contract who both do a fantastic job in keeping the hall to a high standard of cleanliness and good order and Trustees are very grateful for their commitment. We have a great window cleaner too. The Premises Team have been working with some user groups to ensure their use of hall avoids unnecessary wear and tear and the co-operation given has been appreciated. We have been working in having partnerships on how hall is used and this seems to be successful. There is unmet need for storage but how to find greater capacity is challenging. I am very grateful to the Trustees in the Premises Team who have all given so generously of their time and professional expertise throughout the entire year. The hall still presents in excellent condition due to the care and help from those who use it, those contracted to work here and those trustees who on a voluntary basis manage the running of the hall. Well done and thanks to all. **Page 10 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Energy usage** The graph plots energy use in 2023. Due to global factors energy costs have increased and the NVH contract ran out in November 2022 and a new two year contract was agreed with British Gas Plus but it is 55%c more expensive. Efforts were made to raise awareness with users and hirers to be as careful as possible in electricity use and engage in saving use of lighting and power appliances whenever possible. Actual consumption figures show a decrease in consumption of 1037 kWh or 7.4% from 2022 use which is great. Well done to hirers who saved/reduced use of electricity or was the weather just kinder? Either way it is good news. **Page 11 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD** **email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Bookings and Visitor Numbers** Bookings have been at a good level for the whole of 2023 with private hire close to pre-covid levels again. There have not been any new groups starting in 2023 but it seems that groups are increasing their membership numbers with some matching pre 2020 numbers. Visitor numbers (footfall) increased considerably by 39% to 33,656 when compared to 2022 (data taken from booking forms). The Warm Space Group returned in October and a grant of £300 was awarded by the Norfolk Community Foundation to cover room hire costs. The Avalon booking system is still used as its benefits do outweigh the snags and we still hope some of its challenging drawbacks will be resolved in future fixes by Avalon. **Page 12 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD** **email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Overview of 2023** . The hall has undoubtably had another very successful year with a good level of use and through all the different organisations that come to use it, provides a great range of different activities. It is amazing to see the hall space a professional gym one morning and then a bowling facility and then a west end stage with fantastic performances, lighting and sound. Another time, it will be heads down with 40 people playing Bridge or maybe a friendly yoga or pilates class. The special events like the Village Show and the Christmas Fair are regulars in many people’s diaries as well as the Community Market with its yummy bacon rolls and the Village Screen gives us opportunities to see films we might otherwise miss. Many families enjoy using the hall for birthday parties and special occasions and there were two weddings in this year. The Trustees are optimistic that the hall will continue to be a good venue for the many activities that take place within its walls every week giving social and recreational opportunities to the community. Some specific plans for 2023 shown in appendix 1 were not fulfilled due to time pressures on trustees from having to deal with render projects, increasing day to day maintenance work and the court claim. Trustees have put together plans for 2024/25 which list the on-going objectives for the hall and also a second group of opportunities which are desirable if people and funds are available to take them forward. Further consideration of these ideas will take place in early 2024 so if anything catches your interest, please do come forward and chat with us as you do not need to be a trustee to help. I hope this report has updated you and reassured you that New Victory Hall is in good order and in a good position for the future. Most importantly, sincere thanks to all the hirers, donors, volunteers and staff for their understanding and support throughout the year. Particular thanks to the unsung heroes who do all those little jobs behind the scenes that often go unnoticed but are so important and include looking after plants, community library, helping at events, cinema and community market and so on. Finally, my deepest gratitude to every trustee for giving their time, support and expertise so generously. ## **Doreen Dean** ## _**Chair,**_ _**New Victory Hall Management Committee 27 March 2024**_ **Page 13 of 15** **Registered Charity No. 225178** **The New Victory Hall Neatishead Norfolk NR12 8AD** **email:** enquiries@victoryhall.info ## **Appendix 1 = Outcome of Trustees Plans for 2023.** Trustees consider that satisfactory outcomes have been achieved.
