Due to the efforts of the trustees, the hall provides a venue for groups that might not otherwise be able to operate if it was hired at commercial rates.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
After a brief reopening from September to December 2020, the hall was closed again under legislation. We were able to reopen to organised groups from 17[th] May 2021, and to all hirers from 17[th] July 2021. During this time the hall was cleaned fortnightly and regularly checked. Grounds maintenance continued as normal, and was noted by the locals to be a good morale booster. The covid-19 subcommittee continued to meet via the zoom platform as required. We monitored the situation and provided facilities and information to enable hirers to use the hall as safely as possible. Policies included a maximum of 3 hires a day, an ‘air gap’ of an hour between one organiser leaving and the next arriving and a relaxed cancellation policy of ‘any time up to event start at no charge’.
Bookings increased gradually as time went on. Although we are nowhere near the level of use we had previously, there is now an event on most days. In particular we are pleased to welcome back family gatherings and children’s parties. We received further support grants totalling £16,097 via Shropshire council. With this and previous funding, we decided to offer a ‘restart rate’ of £5 an hour to all hirers up to 31/12/21.
Despite the closure, we were able to make continued improvements to the hall. These included new furniture funded by the Tirgwynt Wind Farm community fund. We now have a set of 20 child size chairs and four child height tables in cheerful colours, as well as 15 more new adult chairs with padded seats. With the centenary of the hall approaching in 2022, we applied for grants to carry out an improvement project. We were delighted to be awarded £20,000 from the People’s Postcode Lottery fund and £9,905 from the National Lottery Community Fund. This money will be used to install solar panels and batteries, a new heating system, a new hot water system, improved insulation and associated internal improvements to the building. The project encountered contractor and supply chain issues, but is scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2022.
Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the
charity’s policy on reserves
The charity has produced a reserves policy as part of the financial policy. The reserves are held to cover maintenance and repairs which would not be covered by insurance, and to provide a year’s running costs for the building should there be a drop in income. This paid off due to the pandemic closure.

N/A
Further financial review details (Optional information)
You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:
-
the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
-
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
In normal times, income for the hall comes primarily from hire fees to both commercial and private hirers. Fees are kept as low as possible to fulfil the requirement for public benefit.
The charity does not make investments.
-
We hold and maintain a detailed budget covering running costs, planned expenditure and contingency reserves. This is briefly reviewed at every meeting and in full detail at the February meeting when the committee sets the hire rates for the following year.
-
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
