Langham Village Hall aka Langham Community Ccntre
Charity Commission Number 268187
Managing Trustees, Annual Report 31Jt Mar¢h 2021
The Managing Trustees present their Report for the year ended 31 March 2021, which
should be read in conjunction with the attached Financial Statements for the same period.
Legal Status
The Charity was estsblished on 4, April 1978. whereby tangham Parish Council is the
custodian Trustee of the freehold land now occupied by the Community Centr¢ and Car Park.
Objects, Policies and Organis2tion
The Trust is established to provide and maintain the Community Centre for the benefil of the
inhabitants of Langham, without distinction of political, religious or other opinions. with the
object of improving the quality of life of the inhabilants.
The Centre is available for hire by any individual or organisation in accordance with the
siandard hiring agreemenl and scale of charges adopted for the year. It is intended that the
scale is sufficient to gen¢rdte enough income to meei the ordinary expenditure incurred in
providing the Centre. Significant improvements are funded oul of revenue by specific
appeals, fundraising and utili5ing grants as available.
Review of the Year
2020121 has been a very unusual year for the Community Centre, as it has been for all of us
individually, due to the impact of COVID-19 and the &8sociated gov¢rnment restrictions.
Almost all of our regular village club hires have be¢n held in a stat¢ of abeyance throughoul
the year whilst we await the return of some sort of nonnality. Commercial hires have also
been heavily impacted, but we have been fortunate to retain some significant hire revenues
from Cygnet, who have continued to operate essential social services training classes
throughout the pandemic.
A small number of new hiring initiatives have managed io get off the ground during the year,
in Compliance with the ever changing set of regulations and restrictions. These include a
Ballet Class, a children's Karat¢ Club, and some fundraising fairs for St Helena's Hospice.
Sue and Cheryl have worked hard to keep on top of the eveT changing hiring rules and to
implement aIl of th¢ COVID secure prolocols and ¢xtra cl¢aning required.
From a village community point of view, probably the most Significant new initiative has
been a number of Outdoor Seasonal Fairs expertly organised by the Community Shop and
hosted on the Community Centre Car Park. These seem lo have perked up community spirits
durtng the lon8 months of lockdown. Hopefully these will continue in some forn], even after
current restrictions are ￿llY removed. The Car Park has also been made available to an
incre&sing number of mobile vendors making weekly visits to tAnghanL and this too seems
to have ￿en well received.
A number of COVID relief grants have been received from central government throughout
the pandemic. As a result of these payments, the Centre's financial reserves at the end of
March 2021 remain healthy despite the dramatic loss of hire revenue over r¢cent months.

In view of these healthy finances. it was decided to progress with some freshening up of the
hall in late 2020. This comprised new carpeting in the fronl and rear lobbies. new flooring in
the kitchen and bar ar¢as' and general redecordting of all th¢se rooms. The work was
completed in early December 2020.
En January. the tenns of new 5 year lease extensions were agreed for the Shop and Pre-
School, with no increases to their existing monthly renl payments. Some minor drafting
Changes in the legal documents are still avmiting completion by our solicitors prior to final
sign-off, which should hope￿IlY occur in early June.
In conclusion, the Community Centre has managed to cope and adapt as necessary to the
strange circumstances of the last year. It remains in good shape to bounce back towards
nonnaliiy in the coming months, and support village clubs as they attempt to r¢-start their
nom]al activities.
