The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 28 February 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Accounting and Reporting by THE Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ( effective 1 January 2015)

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objectives of the charity as set out in its governing document are to provide facilities to organisations in the Parish of Hampreston and the District of Ferndown.

Ferndown Village Hall offers an affordable venue for the community of Ferndown and the surrounding area. The building which was extensively refurbished in 2010, is located on the corner of Mountbatten Drive and Church Road close to the centre of Ferndown. It is home to many clubs and groups and is used regularly for a range of activities, including adult education, badminton, craft groups, dog training, drama groups, fitness classes, a horticultural association, musical groups, a retirement fellowship, Townswomen’s Guilds, University of the Third Age, yoga, dance classes and a church.

The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing aims and objectives and when planning future activities. Since the charity’s facilities are generally available to voluntary and community organisations in Ferndown and the surrounding area and charges for the use of the facilities are affordable, the Trustees are satisfied that the charity meets the Charity Commission’s public benefit test.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable Activities

There is a growing demand for the use of the hall by local voluntary groups and the residents of Ferndown. The considerable investment in the building and its facilities over current and previous years means that the hall offers an attractive venue for local groups.

Overall the village hall continues to play an important role in providing a focal point and home for voluntary and

community activity in Ferndown. The Trustees are committed to ensuring that, through good management and continuous investment in the facilities , the hall will continue for play this vital role.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity’s income for the year was £28,938 :( 2020: £50,383). There has been a decrease in income this year due to the hall being closed for the majority of the year because of the Coronavirus.

Expenditure has been kept to a realistic level within the constraints of the funding. Due to the closure of the hall because of the Coronavirus the Dorset County Council supported the Hall with grant funding. This has proved an invaluable assistance with essential repairs.

Chairman’s Report

Year Ended 28 February 2021.

Last year I wrote that the Financial year ending 29[th] February 2020 had been a very challenging year. At that time I had no real idea that the Financial Year ending 28[th] February 2021 was going to be as hard as it has been.

We have secured various Grants from Dorset County Council as part of The Government Scheme and have received a limited income during the lockdown by hosting various NHS linked training courses as well as some religious groups allowed to meet.

We have kept our costs down as far as we could and have still managed to undertake some projects during the year. These include the new fence around the building required as we were restricting the width of the pavement having received Local Authority Notices. We have also carried out some internal decorations together with a level of refurbishment and updated our rear car park ANPR System.

All of this has meant we have made a small loss during this Financial year but the Balance Sheet is showing a healthy Reserve to take the Hall forward.

I must thank all my Trustees for their support and help over this past traumatic year. As we begin to see the easing of lockdown bookings are returning and it is becoming clear that with the closure of other community facilities in the area we are looking at a very different overall situation. We still want to maintain our hall and its facilities primarily for the benefit of the people of Ferndown.

All the Trustees would like to thank all our users and look forward to welcoming them back at the earliest dates.

Let us hope 2021/2022 is a better year for us all.
