Chairman’s Annual Report Year Ended March 2025
The commi�ee has con�nued to work to the objec�ves of the charity, providing a safe, welcoming community space available to everyone and improving and maintaining the facili�es.
This year has been a successful one for the Parish Hall as bookings have steadily increased over the year. Besides an increase in one off bookings we have really appreciated the con�nued support from our regulars, the Scouts and Cubs, Bumps and Beyond, MED Theatre, Carnival Commi�ee, Dartmoor Community Folk Orchestra, Moorland Mandolins, Community Church and Moretonhampstead Library. These have been joined by regular bookings by Knead to Connect’s Food Club, Shumba Art, Willa Faulkner, Moretonhampstead History Society and Moretonhampstead Development Trust.
With the resul�ng increased income we have been able to maintain and repair the building as required, included decora�ng the toilets and pain�ng the main hall. Bradfords generously donated the paint for this.
The White Hart Hotel, under new ownership agreed to be key holders for the hall which has been a great help with their extended hours. The Post Office and Baskervilles also act as keyholders.
Main highlights in the year have been:
A grant award, funded by the UK Government though Teignbridge District Council “Green Business Grant” from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. This grant has paid for us to install double glazing to the Warnes Room and Main Hall which has greatly enhanced the warmth, comfort, and appearance of the hall, elimina�ng those dra�s and removing the requirement to paint the window frames . The grant has also contributed towards the installa�on of 13 solar panels and 4 ba�eries to reduce our electric bills and to gain an income stream from electricity exported.
We also received a dona�on from Chagford Show which paid for a baby changing unit in the disable toilet by the Peter Gunning Room.
A grant from the Parish Council enabled us to replace external drain covers, entrance mats and the kitchene�e cupboard doors in the Peter Gunning Room.
We have also been able to replace, with the help of John Dodds, the cracked skylight glass over the kitchen, taking advantage of the scaffolding for the solar installa�on.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the commi�ee for their support and hard work in the year.
Looking forward to the next year as we seek ways to further update and enhance the hall for the future.
With Best wishes
Rebecca Jameson
Chairman of the Parish Hall Commi�ee.
