Governance
Port Isaac Village Hall was established as a Charity in 1969, Charity Commission scheme amended September 1[st] 2004.
The Hall was built as the Temperance Hall in 1895. The Parish Council of St Endellion are the Custodian Trustees of the Charity with the elected Committee of Management are the Managing Trustees of the Charity.
Objectives of the Charity
The object of the Charity is the provision and maintenance of a Village Hall for the use of the inhabitants of the Parish of St Endellion without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, including use for meetings, lectures and classes and other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for those in the parish.
Committee of Management
The Charity Commission document governs the appointment of trustees and the management of the charity. Up to 12 elected members can be annually elected to the Management Committee plus 1 representative member from any regular users of the Hall – these Representative Members have no voting rights. All members, whether elected or representative, must be full-time residents in the Parish of St Endellion.
Elected members are appointed at the Annual General Meeting.
There was no Annual General Meeting held in 2020 due to Covid – the Charity Commission was advised of this. The existing committee all agreed to carry on in their previous roles.
Volunteers
The Village Hall Management Committee is made up entirely of volunteers from our local community. The Management Committee are also reliant on a small group of local residents who volunteer their time and their skills to provide additional support as and when required.
Meetings
The committee holds 11 meetings during the year, plus any additional meetings when required. However, during the financial year April 1[st] 2020-March 31[st] 2021 no physical meetings have been held due to Covid-19. As the Hall has been closed throughout the Secretary has regularly updated the committee on financial matters and the progress and completion of building work.
Hiring Agreement
Use of the Village Hall is subject to a Hiring Agreement which must be signed by the Hirer when booking. The Hiring Agreement and Conditions of Hire identify the respective responsibilities of each party to the agreement.
Licences
The Hall has a Premises Licence to sell alcohol and hold theatrical performances, show films, live and recorded music and performance of dance. The Hall also has a PPL/PRS Music Licence for live and recorded music and a TV Licence for usage of television on the premises.
Insurance
The Village Hall has a Commercial Combined Insurance policy with Ecclesiastical Insurance office plc t/as Ansvar Insurance.
Building Issues
-
Volunteers from the Committee carry out regular maintenance checks.
-
The mains electrical installation is checked by a qualified engineer every 5 years.
-
Fire fighting appliances are inspected annually under contract with the supplier.
-
Oil fired central heating is maintained regularly.
Principal Activities in the Hall
The Hall is home for a variety of activities including Stay & Play Group (pre-school), Golden Circle Meetings (older members of the community), Gulls singing group, weekly Community Café, Yoga Group, Art Talks.
In addition the Hall is available for hire for private functions including children’s parties, wedding receptions, funeral teas, village social functions and fundraising events.
However, the Hall is been closed throughout this financial year because of Covid.
Funding Strategy
Port Isaac Village Hall is self-funded through revenue generated from hall hire and from various fundraising events held throughout the year.
However, none of these events have taken place during this financial year because of Covid.
Reserves Policy
Port Isaac Village Hall aims to keep a £2500 contingency fund for emergency expenses. All other surplus income is put towards the upkeep and improvements of our Hall.
Trustees’ & Volunteers Contribution
Management costs are kept to a minimum through the use of Trustees and volunteers for regular maintenance of the hall. On average 20 hours of Trustee/volunteer time are given each week to cover bookings management and maintenance. In addition, Trustees give 30 hours a month for meetings and 300 hours per annum in organising and running fundraising events.
Obviously with the Hall being closed the Trustees/Volunteers have spent less time working at/ for the hall although the financial and administrative work undertaken by the Treasurer/ Secretary has been a lot more than in usual years due to the building project that was undertaken during the year. When lockdown/Covid restrictions permitted other Trustees/ Volunteers have spent time on maintenance, cleaning and getting everything up and running again after the major building project and ready for opening when allowed.
2020-2021 Achievements
The Trustees work hard to make the Hall attractive to potential users and a measure of their success is the range of users and hall occupancy.
This financial year has been another year of great achievement in that we obtained a further £19547 from grants and donations towards the building of a small side extension to the Hall to house multi-access, hall floor level toilets and a storage room plus an enlarged and improved kitchen area. This extension was completed in September 2020.
