## **Charity Commission Report for the year 1[st] January to 31[st] December 2022** 

The Trustees of Yaxham Village Amenities Association administer and maintain Yaxham Village Hall for the benefit of the residents of Yaxham and the wider community who use the facilities available. 

After the turmoil of the past few years, 2022 was successful and the hall is in high demand for regular activities, parties, meetings and events. 

Sadly, one of our trustees resigned in August.  We are very keen to recruit more trustees to keep the Village Hall, including the room in which you now sit, available for meetings such as this, and invite anybody interested to speak with us about coming on board.  It is not an onerous commitment and the more trustees we have, the easier everything becomes for all. 

## During 2022: 

- Policies were updated and revised and are now on the website; 

- Trees in the back field were trimmed; 

- There had been interest from the football club regarding taking over the Church Room. Unfortunately, we now understand this will not be going ahead; 

- Windows in the hall were replaced in the summer; 

- A new dog waste bin has been located on the recreation field which has reduced the problem of dog mess on the field; 

- A successful Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration was held on Sunday 5[th] June; 

- A grant from the Asda Foundation was awarded that enabled us to purchase a new oven and microwave for the kitchen; 

- In December the Community Room was opened as a ‘Hot Spot’, for anybody who wished to be somewhere warm. Games, books, puzzles and hot drinks were available. A grant was secured from Breckland to help with the additional cost of energy to fund the initiative. 

In terms of fundraising, the Community Café continues to thrive. Other events included a Bingo evening, a St George’s Day party, screenings of football matches and a New Year’s Eve party, all of which were enjoyed by many residents of the village and wider community.  We are limited in expanding village events due to a consistent lack of support by volunteers.
