OBJECTIVES AND ACTivrriES The Purposes of the Charity. The object of the Charity is to maintain the Little Canfield Village Hall for the communal benefit use of the inhabitants of Little Canfield and surrounding area. Prlnclple Art•vity The Charity provides first class facilities at an affordable cost to individuals and organisations serving the Community. The Charity depends on the continuing help of volunteer5, particularly Committee members. Publlc Benefit The Trustees are satisfied that public benefit has been provided in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and have due regard to the Charity Commission's 8uidance on public benefit. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE This year we applied for and were awarded 3 £16,500 Grant from Uttlesford District Council under their Zero Carbon Communities Fund which was funded by the UK Government through their UK Shared Prosperity Fund {UKSPFGI to provide the Village Hall with Solar Panels and batteries. To enable the roof to support these panels and provide a guarantee we first had to refurbish part of the peaked roof and alarge flat roof. This enabled us to fit panels facing South, east and west to maximise their use. We also installed batteries in a locked cupboard to hold, store and in time export power back to the National Grid. We have provided facilities to the local community prlncipally the local parish council, Tai Ji Club and Takeley Rotary Club. We also continue to provide facilities for the Countryside Pre- school Nursery who provlde day care services for babies of 6 month5 UP to school starting age. This year we have also held an Easter Egg Hunt for local children. A Children's Fun Day using Rising Stars during the summer break, and an Afternoon Tea for the local Senior Citizens.
FINANCIAL REVIEW The Charity made a loss of £452.10 during the year. The total Income for the period was £40,080.29 and the Total Expendrture was £40,532.39. Reserves The Trustees consider that the holding of reserves is necessary in order to meet the future commitments of the charity. The Trustees consider that the amounts retained are sufficient. The balance as at 30 September 2024 is £18,706.11 Golng Concern Based on the Trustee5' assessment of the organization's financial posltion, cash flow, and other factors they consider that the trust will be able to meet its future obligations and continue to operate as a going concern. Principle Funding Source5 The Village Hall is open to all. The Countryside Pre-school Nursery continues to be our main source of funding, together with the Parish Council and Takeley Rotary Club who are also regular users of the facilities. The hall is available to local residents for hiring. From time to time the Charity will rely on grants and donations to assist with the upkeep of the property.
