Charitable Objects
The object of the Charity shall be the provision and maintenance of a village hall and recreation field for the use of the inhabitants of Tydd St Giles and the neighbourhood thereof without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, including use for meetings, lectures and classes, and for other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
Activities for the Public Benefit
The Charity provides a Community Centre and Recreation Ground for use by local residents for community meetings, family celebrations and sporting activities. It also arranges events and celebrations for the community.
Sources of Funds
The Charity’s main source of income is from charges to users hiring the premises, for which reasonable charges are levied to cover the operating costs of the facilities and the Charity. The provision of a bar at major events generates a significant surplus which helps to fund improvements to the facilities. Fund-raising events bring additional income.
Review of Financial Position
The Charity has shown that it is able to generate an operating profit from its normal activities and the Trustees have invested in repairs and improvements to the building to meet the needs of current and future users.
The Charity holds sufficient reserves to cover unforeseen fluctuations in its income and expenditure and the Trustees are formalising their strategic planning process to prioritise future expenditure.
The Trustees believe that the Charity is in a strong position financially and they continue to monitor its performance to negate any risks.
