The charty is governed by Trust Deed.
All trustees are volunteers from the local community. We do not have any paid members
of staff.
The hall is run by a small committee of 10 members, 5 of which a￿ the above trustees.
The committee hold bi-monthly meetings. Day to day management is delegated to the
committee.
All major risks to the charity have been ￿vieWed and procedures are in place to manage
them should they arise. Our safeguardin& fire safety and financial policies are reviewed
annually.
The trust premises is held in trust for the purpose of physical and mentsl training and
recreation (Standing Orders revised 1971) and social moral and intellertual developrnent
through the medium of playing fields, recreation rooms, games. sports and entertainment
to benefit the inhabitsnts of the parish. The halls man activities are hosting local groups,
social events and sporting activities. We also host community makers markets and a weekly
'Warm Space, café, together with a weekly youth club.
All of our trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidan￿ on public
benefit when making decisions.
2024 was a very busy year for the comrnittee, it has seen us install solar panels (with the
help of a grant) to help combat our increased utility costs. A second grant provided the
funds for much needed changing room refurbishments including the installation of toilets.
The Jubilee room has been completely refurbished and the main hall has been decorated
with new soft furnishings. This benefits the community and ￿sIdentS of the local area.

We finish the year in a stsble financial position, with no outstanding debts.
£22,000 of income was receNed from grants and a further £5(J) from donations. The
remainder was from hiring fees and fundraising events.
We have a small reserve of £IOOO to supplement our running costs if we were unable to
operate for any reason.
We would like to continue to raisefunds in the comingyearto hopefully replace the double
glazing and insulate the roof spa￿.
Our main objectives for the future are to continue to make the hall and field an attractive,
accessible and inclusive venue for all.
