The Hartlng Communlty Hall Trust Charlty number.. 296532 Objective5 and Activities For the purposes of a village hall for the use of the inhabltants of Hartlng wlthout dlstinrtion of politlcal religious or other options including use for meetings lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and lelsure tlme occupation5 wlth the object of Improvlng the condltlons of Ilfe for the sald Inhabitants. Area of benefft Parish of Hartlng Addttlonal Informatlon The Charity is not a grant making charity or involved in social Investment. The Charity is run by a Community Hall Committee ICHCI which is made up of volLbnteers and the Harting Parish Council actlng as the Sole Managing TTUStee is also made up of volunteers. The Charity has one employee who is the Hall's caretsker. Achlevements and Perfomiance The lèst year has been a challenglng year for the Hall, but also a very positive one. The main challenges have been the substsntlal Increase In the Hall's eneY costs and other inflationary pressure5, as well as the need to undertake necessary and overdue maintenance and refurbishments. The positive aspects have been the Hartin8 Parish Council becomln8 the Sole Trustee, the supportive attitude of our regular users to the necessary increased hlre charges, increased usage of the Hall and the introdurtion of new activities. The most visible signs of the refurbishment are the enhancement of the entrance hall and the maln hall, a new sign and notice board outside the hall and further upgrddlng of the audio system5. the latter thanks to the generous support of the Harting Society. But probably the most slgnificant change Is the upgrading of the old upstair5 committee room, now called The Humphrey Sladden Room, to become a small flexible and well-equipped room avallable for hlre. More furb1shMent In other parts of the Hall is planned in the future. The greater u5a8e of the hall reflects the return of ad hoc hirings for birthday parties and similar events post Covid, as well as the continued development of the Hartin8 Fllm Nights to now include regular afternoon showlngs of Art films and, more si8niflcantly, the introduction of National Theatre Llve showings. This has led to a welcomed increase in the Hall's Income and should allow the Hall to improve profftability In the next year. Although this is a positive pictltre, the future holds many challenges in both retalnlng our regular users, particularly the Pre-school, and attracting new users and actNities, as well as maintaining and refurbishiftg a building that is beglnning to show Its age and In pla5 wear out. To substantlally lower our carbon footprint, as well as improving our income, we are Investlgatlng wlth Harting CAN'S support a plan to substantially Increase our solar power capacity and remove our dependence on oil.
