Chairman’s Report 2025
The hall is located on Kennington Road central to the village, it is adjacent to King George’s field, which became a subsidiary to the hall on March 24[th] 1998
We are regulated by the Charities Commission with the aim to provide and maintain the village hall for the use of the residents of Kennington, we also provide and maintain a children’s play area.
The committee at present consists of representatives from various village organisations, Parish Council, Mother and Toddler Group, KADS, Youth Club, Alternative Badminton Club and 4 members of the public.
We are assisted by one Honorary Officer- our new treasurer Nhaid De Sa who took over from Fiona last year, the treasurer receives a small honorarium which is decided at the AGM
Sandra Hogen is employed as Booking Secretary and Hall Manager as well as being a key holder for which she receives a salary.
The Wi-Fi has been altered and now we have full range throughout the hall.
We have had a Fire Risk Assessment done this year resulting in further works being carried out in the Hall, this consists of the filling in of holes that could potentially allow fire to spread easily, door guards being fitted that close automatically in the event of the fire alarm going off and a general awareness of housekeeping and tidiness.
The hall undergoes various maintenance throughout the year which is to be expected due to the age of the building.
Bookings remain good and we have a wide variety of hirers using the hall and rooms.
I would like to thank our staff and treasurer for helping keep the hall running smoothly.
Colin Smith
Chairman of KVHMC

13 The Village Hall and King George’s Field Charities
The accounts of Kennington Village Centre comprise those of two charities:
-
Kennington Village Hall
-
King George’s Field, Kennington, Oxfordshire
The accounts are combined, but the income of the two charities is readily identifiable, although the expenditure is not.
The income relating to King George’s Field is derived from the following:
-
Kennington Club Premises - rent
-
Oxfordshire County Library - rent
-
Oxfordshire County Library - services
-
Kennington Venture Youth Club - rent and water services
This totalled £18,653 in 2024
Expenditure on the Field charity is low and comprises a small amount of maintenance and cleaning.
The 'Charity Land Account' is wholly owned by the Field charity. Its income derives from interest and dividends on investments and is clearly stated. The current position of the Charity Land Account is shown in the balance sheet.
