Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public
beneft
Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in providing and promoting a valuable community facility for the village and wider community - to reduce isolation; encourage social inclusion; facilitate informal networks; provide opportunities for volunteering and provide opportunities for improving health and well being for all ages.
Activities to promote health and well being at the hall have included:
Weekly Yoga classes; Weekly Keep Fit for the over 60s; Weekly Pilates Classes; Fortnightly Table Tennis sessions; regular dance classes.
Social events to reduce isolation and promote friendships and informal networks have included:
Monthly Book and Coffee Mornings; Monthly ‘Over 50s’ Lunch Club; Music Evenings; Film night; a French themed evening
Section D. Achievements and Performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We have actively encouraged the use of the hall by local residents for various private celebrations – wedding receptions, birthday and other anniversary parties – as many local cottages are too small to accommodate such events.
The new hall with its modern facilities has attracted much greater use for both one off events and regular sessions and it is now a well used facility for the local community

It also includes consideration of any unusual rtems or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanation from the trustees ncernIng any such matters.
