The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity meets the Charity Commission's requiremenls in the provision of public benefit as defined by ils Trust Deed. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE YEAR: The Charity works with the help of East Hanningfield Parish Council as Custodian Trustees to achieve the Charity's objective of maintaining and improving the hall and playing field facilities for use by the parishioners of East Hanningfield, and wider local communily generally. During the period covered by this report {20241 the Charity's income from hirers has finally returned to a level comparable with limes before the Covid 19 pandemic and encouraged by the Committee's efforts in SLtpporting new and existing Hall activities. Fundraising events on Hanna's Fi61d and. in the Hall continued in 2024 with the annual Village Fete in July. quarterly book sales in the Hall, and the annual Art Exhibition in early October. The Fireworks & Halloween fundraising event in Oclober was paused in 2024 to allow the Charity fund raising committee to decide whether it was worth continuing with the event after a noticeable fall in it's profitability in 2023. The Book Sales in the Hall, and the Village Fete events were organised with the support of All Saints Parochial Church Council and profits shared equally. The Charity managed to complete important improvements and tasks over the year, in particular: Th8 installation of a large-scale Solar Photo Voltaic IPVI Panel system on the Hall roof lo supply free energy lo the Hall, including the Village Shop and redu our carbon footprint and energy c051s. Replacement of the Hall's failing mains power distribution board. Changes to install timers on exlemal lights lo reduce energy use at night. Evaluation of energy suppliers prior to transfer of Hall's energy supply to Octopus. Resurfacing of the Village Hall ovefflow carpark with 20 tons of granite chip. Tamiac repairs lo the main carpark including 8 refresh of parking bay marking. Redecoration of Small Hall and Kitchen to improve user's experience. Creation of a new Village Hall website to replace previous website hosted on Parish Council's website. Transition of the Charity's accounts from spreadsheel-based accounts to a professional accounting software package Ixerol with the help of a professional accountant. The Village Hall's, community shoplposl Offi continues to be well supported. Under the present Hall shoplpost office 7-year lease signed with the tenant in 2022 the lease will not need lo be renegotiated with the incumbent tenant until 2029. The shop now receives the benefit of its electricity supply from the Hall at a preferential rate reflects'ng savings the Charity has achieved with roof solar panel.
FINANCIAL REVIEW BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE CHARITr'S POLICY ON RESERVES: The Charity aims lo maintain a flexible reserve, available to cover the cost of unforeseen problems and new initiatives whilst still supporting replacement of equipment approaching end of life in the Village Hall, the Community Shoplposl office in the Hall and Playing Field equipment. The free reserves at the end of 2024 stand at £35,002 cL)mpared to £40,506 al the end of 2023 a deficit of approximate £5,500 as a result of investment in Solar Panels for the Hall roof. DETAILS OF FUNDS MATERIALLY DEFICIT: None. FURTHER FINANCIAL REVIEW DETAILS: The resources of the Charity consist of the hire of facilities, fund raising, Post Officelshop rental, and periodic receipts of grants for spe¢ific projects or needs. Funds are expended on maintaining the hall and field facilities, and sometimes with the aid of grants, the improvement thereof. See the Charity's Financial Report attached with this report. The installation of th8 n8w solar panels is helping help negate the worst of th8 impact of ongoing energy price rises in 2024 but will require a continuing evaluation of energy providers in 2025 to find the best possible deal for both incoming supply from the grid as well as the sale of surplus energy. The present decision lo sell surplu5 energy lo a utility company rather than purchas8 a battery to store it may need review in future if this option becomes more cost effective. The experience with the Covid pandemic in 2021 to 2022 highlighted the need for Villag8 Halls lo allow adequate reserves. The Rural Community Council of Essex IRCCE} subsequently r8commended Village Halls Iruslees should consider maintaining a ganeral reserve of 6 months operating costs lo cover unforeséen income and expenditure issues; 8mergency repairs and known future nèed5 such as equipment replacement or refurbishment. Based on the Charity's 2024 accounts and last year's operating costs, the Charity have agreed the figure of £20,000 as a general reserve. The trustees believe this is an appropriate figure lo maintain using £15,000 lo cover a major repair and £5,000 for loss of a major hirer such as Preschool. Where there is a particular purpose or project that requires funds lo be eannarked over time. designated reserve may also be identified separately from the general reserve and will be cancelled when the object of the designation no longer exists, and the funds used or returned lo the Charity's general reserve. The Charity has a number of priorities for 2025 and beyond. The most urgent one is the P1aCement of a significant proportion of the Play Area equipment which is approaching the end of its life. In addition, thè Charity needs lo refloor the Hall entrance foyer corridor and add a canopy over the front entrancè. The Charity has therefore designated from ils reserves £10,000 towards new Play Area equipment, £3000 for flooring and £2.000 towards an external entrance canopy. Timescales for completion of these priorities will depend on the success of the Charity's fundraising offorts and grant applications in 2025. There are other less urgent improvements that have been identified for when effort and funding allow. In no order of priority th8se are.. Promotional video for the Charity website to showcase the Hall's facilities for hire and activities that lake place. Repaint Hall South and West w311 cladding for sun damage. Hard track grass verge at side of Hall to allow vehicle access in wet weather Add additional sun awning for Preschool Play Area.
Trim Trail around the field. Resurface Sports Courts with astro turf for 5-side football? Install Skateboard ramps and half pipes (perhaps on where sports courts are?} Relay 8MX Track. A long-term aim remains to create a Community Suite function room above the Small Hall if and when suitable grant funding source becomes available. The current level of cash resources does not at present justify a long-lerm investment policy given the nature of ongoing Hall and Field improvements and cost and need to maintain a reserve to cover the unforeseen. OTHER OPTIONAL INFORMATION: The Village Hall's, community shoplpost office continues to be well supported. Under the present Hall shoplposl office 7-year lease signed with the tenant in 2022 the lease will not need to be renegotiated with the incumbent tenant until 2029. The Charity main banking services are provided by the Charity Aid Foundation ICAF) Bank and has done so for some time. There may be better options in terms of community banking and standard of services, rates and account charges and we should take time in future to review the present provider.
