The charity manages and maintains the Village Hall to the highest possible standards in order to provide modern, inclusive and sustainable facilities for the benefit of the public. The charity seeks to provide facilities at the heart of the community supporting leisure-time occupations including the development of social and educational needs, sports, health and fitness with the objective of improving the quality of life for all residents of Stanford in the Vale and the wider area through the provision, maintenance and management of the Village Hall as a community centre.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

During the year in review, there are a total of 36 regular weekly bookings (a small increase on the previous year) as well as a number of recurring monthly bookings. The hall also welcomed a substantial number of oneoff events including children’s parties and 4 wedding receptions, all made possible through the diligent efforts of our Bookings Manager. Enhancements to the facilities include: 

- Refreshed car park markings 

- Replacement stage curtains installed 

- Additional shelving fitted to aid hirers storage in the small hall 

In addition to the above, a significant amount of effort has been expended on preparations for replacement of all light fittings with LED equivalents as well as securing the necessary permits, permissions and funding for a solar PV array, both of which are due to be installed in May. 

The community cinema that started last year is now well established, featuring a monthly film club which has shown a variety of films throughout the year - the most popular recently being’ Paddington in Peru’ and ‘Wicked’. We have an enthusiastic group of helpers, and especially appreciate the efforts of the volunteer who looks after all the bar requirements. Card only payments have proven to be very effective and are so much easier than cash. Our regular safety checks have continued with repairs undertaken as required and the usual high standards of cleanliness have been maintained throughout. 

Hall Fees were reviewed in September resulting in no increase in fees. Fundraising has included two successful Quiz nights in October 2024 and March 2025, the monthly film club and the Christmas Bingo. 

**Finally,** thanks to all the committee members, representing various village hall user groups, for dealing with the many and varied duties involved with keeping the village hall a safe and welcoming venue for so many activities.
