At our AGM Tn¢¢5 follow the guidance given by the Clwity Commission by considering the purposes and the airns of the Chaeewater Village Hall Ttvst Deed to ensure that we continue to give the benefit and value to the Community. Summa of Main Achievements As with inost other Village Halls, we have been badly hit by Covid restrictions since March 2020. We agreed we would do our best to ensure that, whenever Government rules allowed, we would open the hall for local groups to use. This meant we had io work hard to ensure the hall was Covid secure for pennitled aL'livities, taking account ofthe ever chgIng regulations. Despit¢ the restrictions, we were able to proceed with our annual maintenance programme and take advanlage of the shutdown by completing planned improvements without any inconvenience to our users, ail works done with Covid Lompli[le. During the summer we builders in to install an improved kitchen facility. A wall was removed to increase the kitchcn floor space and this will allow a b¢tter flow when we have some of our bigger events back again. This will sland us in good ste&d in the future. We have upgraded our WIFI system to make il easier for our customers to Use and to enhance the reception throughout the building. Another 2 rkople have kindly joined our committee as trustees. Page 3

In addition to these charges, hirers are given the option of using our caretaking service. This service is one whereby the booking oificer can arrange with one of the staff to set out a room for the hirer, mee( them at an agreed time to ensure ihey have ati the faLilities they require. At the end of the hire evewhing is cleared away for them and the room locked. This is especially appreciated by many "corporat¢" hirers when th¢ lecturer may be someone oulside their organisation.
