Gerrans Parish Memorial Hall

AGM April 2023

Chair’s Report - Covering activities through 2022

Having had to close the Hall and Heritage Centre for much of 2020 and 2021, it was so heartening to see such a rapid return of our customers through 2022. Through the year, the Main Hall had 495 bookings, and the Committee Room 74 bookings. On a typical week, we have around 18-20 different user groups using the facility.

It is wonderful to see such a broad range of users from: the Old Cornwall Society; several health, fitness and wellbeing groups; the café; arts and crafts sessions; amateur dramatics; line dancing; music recitals; guides and so on. We really do cater for all in our thriving community.

The Heritage Centre followed a similar path of re-opening following COVID. Through the summer of 2021, we had reduced opening hours and restricted the numbers of visitors in at any one time. Thankfully, 2022 was back to normal. We have increased our volunteer base, refreshed the exhibitions, and kept the shop well stocked for locals and visitors alike.

For those who may be new to the Charity, and a reminder for those who aren’t, our purpose is to provide and promote our assets for “ physical and mental training and recreation and social, moral and intellectual development’. Along with the Memorial Hall, we fulfil this purpose through a broader base of assets, including the Surgery, Heritage Centre, and a telephone box. As a Committee, I think we can be confident that we are fulfilling this purpose admirably.

As we head into 2023, we are in a healthy financial position. This is thanks to our innovative funding model and the careful management by the Committee over many years. In case you aren’t aware of our model, it is a shining example of community self-help. The rental income that passes from the NHS to the Surgery, and then to the Charity, is reinvested back into the maintenance and improvement of our assets, and it allows us to subsidise the hire fees for our users.

This has allowed us to develop a capital projects programme for the next couple of years. We have already started some of this work, for example, refurbishing the floor in the Main Hall and installing a cinema system in the Committee Room. We also refurbished the telephone box by the Fisherman’s Shelter as a small exhibition space.

Other initiatives planned include:

The works will be done in phases and planned together with our customers, so we keep the facilities open and minimise disruption.

Over the last 18 months we have put a significant amount of effort into tightening up our governance arrangements too. The most important change has been to shift our legal structure to a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). CIOs are a relatively new, and very helpful legal structure for organisations like ours. It allows us to do everything that a limited company can do e.g. enter into contracts and employ people (should we wish), but because CIOs are not actual companies, we don’t have to register with Companies House, rather we are registered and governed by the Charity Commission. This will save us lots of time, effort and cost in administration. It also reduces the personal liability for our Trustees

In moving to the new legal structure, we also took the opportunity to review and refresh all the polices that govern how we operate to bring us in line with the latest Charity Commission best practice. These policies cover a range of topics including: conflicts of interest; financial procedures; managing our reserves; safeguarding; and data protection.

Finally, each year we take the opportunity to say a massive thank you to those people in our community who do so much to keep the amazing facilities we have open and available to us all. In no particular order!

Finally, I just want to say thank you to the whole Committee of Trustees and Members for giving of your time, energy and ideas. You all represent our wonderful community, and keep the Charity connected and grounded to its purpose.
