The above Trustees acted throughout the year.
OBJECTS
The objects of the Trust are to operate the “Collingbourne Ducis Community Centre” within the terms of the Trust Deed dated 12th March 1983 and section 46 of the Charities Act 1960 for the benefit of the inhabitants of the parish of Collingbourne Ducis for meetings, lectures, classes, recreation and leisure, to improve the condition of life of such inhabitants POLICIES Grants: The Trust does not make grants but at its discretion supports local organisations using the Hall within the the spirit of its objects.
Risk: The Trustees regularly assess the risks that the charity is exposed to and take appropriate action to minimise and manage such risks.
ACTIVITIES AND GENERAL COMMENT
Collingbourne Ducis Village Hall is a pivotal part of the village community, and it is used across the whole population grouping. Regular users include sports activities, a café, the Parish Council, the local Primary School and a Pre School. Funds continue to be reasonably healthy and the building loan from the Parish Council has now been paid off. Looking to the future we need to decide exactly what needs to be done to the Village Hall and plan accordingly. Whilst we have planning permission for a storage extension | have yet to be convinced that building it is the most appropriate way ahead. A quick walk around the Hall will reveal that the whole building (including fixtures and fittings) is looking very tired and in need of renovation/upgrading. Throughout the next year we need produce a numberofoptions (with outline costs) for the way ahead and then decide on the favoured option. This will need the help and involvement of the Trustees, Committee and volunteers. All of the above will need volunteers and to date this has proved to be extremely challenging. However, there is a glimmer of change as a number of key roles have now been filled. In conclusion the hall has had a successful year and hopefully, with more volunteers the number of activities will increase and our plans for the future will mature and turn into a tangible improvement for the benefit of all inhabitants of Collingbourne Ducis & Everleigh. For and on behalf of the Trustees A Green, Chairman Collingbourne Ducis Village Hall DATE : 16/11/2025
