## **Management Structure** 

Events, Village Screen and Premises Management are run by commiaees which operate to a wriaen 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, Environmental Policy). All policy documents are available on the website. Roles, Responsibili/es and Policies are reviewed and updated annually by Trustees. 

## **Charity Objec8ves** 

The New Victory Hall is used for social, recrea/onal, educa/onal and leisure purposes. It is managed by Trustees who are responsible for maintaining and opera/ng the building in a manner that benefits and improves the quality of life for all the local community without dis/nc/on of poli/cal, religious or other opinions, including use for: 

- (a) mee/ngs, lectures and classes, and 

- (b) other forms of recrea/on and leisure-/me occupa/on.

## 

providing ‘public benefit’ in accordance with our Charity Objec/ves. In 2024 the hall was used by a wide cross-sec/on of local and outside user-groups and individuals for a range of different ac/vi/es, including: 

Art Group Community Heritage Group Elec/ons Parish Council mee/ngs Community Market Friends & Neighbours Club Bowls Club Bridge Club Crab group Gardening Club Knit and S/tch group Nea/shead Community Gym NABS (Drama Group) Broadland School of Dance Pilates Tex/lia Group Ukulele Group Village Screen Warm Space Group Wherry Band WISE Womens’ Ins/tute Yoga 

Private Hire: Childrens’ Par/es, Weddings and Private social func/ons, business mee/ngs etc. Church hire 

Trustees try to ensure that the hall is available and suitable for use by as wide a cross-sec/on 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 marke/ng the hall at more ‘commercial’ rates to outside organisa/ons. 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 ac/vi/es for the community.

## **Financial Summary for 2024.** 

in the bank at the end of year.  Full details are available in the Annual Return. 

efforts made to ensure value for money in all running costs especially the lead costs of insurance and energy.  The 2 year energy contract with Bri/sh Gas Plus finished in November 2024 and through a new broker, a beaer value contract with Bri/sh Gas was secured for two years. The energy market is complex and ever changing so a fixed contract for 2 years seems advantageous as far as can be judged, in the s/ll vola/le energy market. 

Hire revenues, the main income source, rose by £3,381 in 2024 partly due to some small hire rate increases but mainly to increased numbers of private hire bookings and special bookings such as the NABS Panto produc/on in December.   The annual review of hire rates was carried out during the year and trustees decided that hire rates needed to increase across the board by 50p per hour (approximately 5%) effec/ve from 1 January 2025. This followed an increase in 2024 but was necessary as the rising costs of opera/ng the hall could not be sustained without impac/ng 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 commiaed to ensuring adequate reserves. 

Results from fundraising events in the year have been excep/onally good.  The Christmas Fair with Santa, The Easter Fair, Quiz Nights and The Bands-together Evening were outstanding successes. A special event in October to celebrate 60 years since the Beatles performed ‘A Hard Days Night’ was another outstanding success thanks to Mike Gower and the Dog House. Band.  The Community Market and Village Screen are valued  contributors to hall finances and raised £1,022 and £580 net respec/vely but more importantly they give a lovely opportunity for people to meet for a coffee or a chat. The 200 Club ran throughout the year adding an important £1,880.00 net to hall funds. Many thanks to all involved in these ac/vi/es.

## **Fundraising Income** 

The Events Team ran a very successful quiz night, another Bands-together Evening proved a huge success as did the Beatles evening in October. The year finished on a high with a very successful Christmas Fair which included a visit from Santa and his elves. The Events Commiaee raised £4,008 net which is a significant contribu/on to hall funds. In addi/on the Events Team served 135 breakfasts at the BIG Community Breakfast raising £1,618 to enable the Parish Councils to provide beaer access to a defibrillator in the villages.

The 200 Club, the Community Market and Village Screen also contributed to fundraising.

## **Premises Management** 

The Premises Team has been ac/ve throughout the year doing an excellent job in keeping the hall well maintained, safe, clean and well organised. 

The level of usage and the fact that the hall is now nearly 16 years old means that more maintenance work is needed and maintenance costs are rising. Essen/al repairs and maintenance have been on-going but although mainly of a rou/ne and minor nature, some larger work was needed. During the year, the main hall floor has had a coat of protec/ve treatments applied at minimal cost as it was done by cleaners and volunteers, some internal decora/on was done in early 2024 and areas of external wood work were painted in the Autumn plus external bollard lights on the car park were replaced. There are no Health and Safety issues to report. 

A contractor provides an excellent service looking aber grass and hedge cuong and is working very hard to keep the grounds in good order.  Volunteers have made some more progress in making the environs of the hall site wildlife friendly and the outcomes of their work are beginning to show including some improvements to hedges and crea/ng a wild meadow area to rear of the premises. The Trustees are very grateful for the help and advice given. A quite large composing area is at the rear of hall. 

The solar panels on the roof generated an income of £695 from genera/ng 1,696.44 kWh units and 675.64kWh were fed into the na/onal grid. The paid rate per kWh has increased as energy costs have accelerated. Trustees con/nue to consider how best to mi/gate energy costs. 

The Trustees employ two cleaners on a part /me contract who both con/nue to do a fantas/c 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-opera/on given has been appreciated. 

I am very grateful to the Trustees in the Premises Team who have all given so generously of their /me and professional exper/se throughout the en/re year. The hall s/ll presents in excellent condi/on 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.

## **Energy usage** 

The graph plots energy use in 2024. Due to global factors energy costs have increased and the NVH contract ran out in November 2024 and a new two year contract was agreed with Bri/sh Gas through a new broker. Efforts to raise awareness with users and hirers to be as careful as possible in electricity use are on-going 

great. Whether due to climate reasons or care in saving energy by hirers, it is good news.

## **Bookings and Visitor Numbers** 

Bookings have been at a good level for the whole of 2024 with record use of the Community Hall as well as the main hall with private hire adding significantly to income. 

Visitor numbers (foopall) decreased by 3% to 32,648 compared to 2023 (data taken from booking forms) which is explained by loss of the Broadbeat Choir, a large weekly group, and no na/onal celebra/ons such as Corona/on. 

The Warm Space Group returned in October but closed in January 2025 due to falling numbers aaending. 

The Gym opened a new Circuit Training Group for all abili/es in the Autumn which is proving to be popular as it is held in the evening and convenient for people who work.

## **Overview of 2024** . 

The hall has undoubtably had another very successful year with a good level of use and through all the different organisa/ons that come to use it, provided a great range of different ac/vi/es. There is something for most people and if your favourite thing is not here yet then please talk to us to see what is possible. 

Trustees are keen to have more ac/vi/es for young people so to see more young people in NABS produc/ons is good and the floor dance aerobics for young people on Fridays is amazing.  Many families enjoy using the hall for birthday par/es complete with discos, bouncy castles etc. There have been some big par/es held too and the hirers posi/ve feedback confirms what a good venue the hall is. 

The Trustees are op/mis/c about the hall going forward. Two projects were explored to see how feasible it might be to make more use of ground sited solar power with baaery storage to offset rising energy costs. The first project being to purchase or lease the land to NW of hall from Anglian Water for ground sited solar panels. The business case of inves/ng funds into this was very sound but because it was discovered that there are 3 large underground sewers in the site area that need considerable clearance, it failed to be something that the Trustees could proceed with.  The Trustees are now open to discussions with adjacent landowners to explore whether there is any scope for acquiring a small parcel of land on the SW boundaries. If anything is forthcoming then all the usual consulta/ons and permissions would need to take place. 

The plans for 2024/25 which list the on-going objec/ves for the hall have mostly been achieved with the excep/on of recrui/ng new trustees. Two trustees are standing down and this leaves vacancies which is of concern as the work of running the hall is increasing although there are some economies of scale. It is hoped to get more volunteer help on specific tasks leaving Trustees to steer the business side of running the hall.  It is pleasing to learn of successes of the various user-groups in using the hall. My message is please do not take the hall for granted and if some more prac/cal help from users and/or volunteers is not forthcoming, the hall could suffer or more paid help will be needed which will further increase costs and consequently hire fees will rise. Please do come forward and chat with us about volunteering; you do not need to become a trustee to help and there are many posi/ves for joining a successful and posi/ve team. 

I hope this report has updated you about the New Victory Hall which is in good shape for the future. 

support throughout the year. Par/cular thanks to the unsung heroes who do all those liale jobs behind the scenes that oben go unno/ced but are so important and include looking aber plants, community library, helping at events, cinema and community market and so on. Finally, my deepest gra/tude to every trustee for giving their /me, support and exper/se so generously.
