Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

This year Ferndown Village Hall has had another good year and the overall bookings are comparable with previous years and the Hall is now virtually fully booked.

The Trustees continue on their strategy of repairs and improvements to the overall facilities as well maintaining a good Reserve Fund needed to ensure we can continue to maintain the ageing building.

With the cost of energy ever increasing the Trustees have investigated the possibility of Solar Panels. It has become evident that the wiring system needs an update before any such installation can take place which is currently in hand. Once this is completed we will resume our options to install a solar Panel system. There are plans to continue to improve the facilities during the coming year following on from The Meeting Room which has undergone a complete refurbishment. The Trustees are extremely cost conscious. As a result of which the Trustees are endeavoring to keep our charges basically unchanged for yet another year. Increased usage however does means increased costs. However the charges are to be reviewed for the next academic year and any increase will be kept as low as possible and will not effect all users.
