activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The main activities include:

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The main achievement during the year was
the raising of sufficient funds from grants,
donations and existing reserves to undertake
significant refurbishment works to the Hall.
As a result of securing the necessary funds,
the electrical system was overhauled, the
heating system replaced, a ventilation
system installed, and the fire safety system
upgraded. The latter involved the
replacement of the internal doors, and
subsequently the external doors were also
replaced ensuring significantly improved
insulation for the building. Some
fenestration and pointing repairs were also
undertaken, and Wifi was installed. All this
work has ensured that the Hall now offers a
safe and inviting community space where
people can come together to enjoy a range
of social, educational and sporting activities,
thereby enhancing their physical and mental| health and their overall quality of life. The Hall meanwhile also continued to build its revenue due to increased activity in the Hall, itself a reflection of the enhanced state of the Hall due to the renovation works. It attracted several new hirers who hosted a range of social and entertainment events, including a Burns’ Night ceilidh, a folk concert evening and a disco. The charity also organised the annual village dog show and Christmas Fair, and helped to organise the annual apple festival in conjunction with the local village pub. All these community events enhanced the strong sense of community within the parish of Cornworthy, to the overall benefit of the lives of the parishioners. **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
objectives set|Para 1.41|The charity performed well against the
objectives set:
1. the first three stages of the
refurbishment programme were
implemented on schedule; and
2. the revenue continued to increase
year on year.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|The fundraising dedicated to financing the
refurbishment programme raised nearly
£35,000, which was sufficient to finance the
first three phases of the refurbishment
programme during the period recommended
by the surveyors.| |Investment performance
against objectives|Para 1.41|n/a| |Other||n/a| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Revenues generated from Hall hire income
and regular community events continued
satisfactorily to cover annual overheads and
expenditure.
At the end of the financial period, the charity
had nearly £32,000 in cash reserves, albeit
with approx. £15,500 due to be paid for
completed refurbishment works. Therefore,
at the end of the period, the charity had over
£16,000 of uncommitted cash reserves.
Further renovation works were in the
pipeline at that time.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The general policy for holding reserves is to
maintain sufficient reserves to cover one
year’s annual overheads and then build up
additional reserves for both scheduled
maintenance and unexpected repairs, as
well as for upgrading the fabric of the Hall.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|As of 31stAugust 2024, uncommitted cash
reserves were approx. £16,000.| |Reasons for holding zero

running the 100+ Club lottery and securing
grants and donations.| |---|---|---| |Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted|Para 1.46|The Hall has not had an investment policy to
date. Any surplus funds in future will be
placed in an interest-bearing bank deposit
account| |A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|Principal risks:
1. inability to secure sufficient grant
funding to finance the final stages of
the refurbishment programme
2. attracting insufficient volunteers to
run the Hall’s activities
3. lack of interest by the community in
using the Hall – as it is the only
community space in the village, this
is regarded as a theoretical risk| |Other||n/a| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
