## **4 ASSETS RETAINED FOR THE CHARITY'S OWN USE** 

Upkeep, refurbishment and repair costs relating to the buildings are written off to the Receipts and Payments account, with the buildings themselves being carried forwards in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at their original cost. 

In line with Use Class the Tennis Courts have been removed from the Charity's Asset List as these were provided and are maintained by the Kelvedon Hatch Tennis Club. 

The 'Changing Rooms' are now described more accurately as an 'Annex' because the Kelvedon Hatch Football Club provided and maintain the internal requirements for its use.

## TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 20/21 Cont.. 

## **Continuing Public Benefit** 

Because of the Pandemic and legal restrictions on use, the hall has only been available for hire by those running classes for a few months during the past financial year. The Trustees have kept in touch via phone and email with hirers and are hopeful that they will return when the Gov. gives permission to open up again. The Trustees will continue to encourage all types of classes, meetings etc 

in line with the objects of the Charity. It is expected that the remaining hire will continue, on the whole, to be birthday parties for village children. 

The Trustees will continue to take a pragmatic view on the hiring of the hall and will accept hiring from individuals, clubs or businesses as long as the purpose of hire is legal, will not bring the charity into disrepute and there is a clear benefit to some or all of the beneficiaries in line with the objects of the Charity. 

The cost of hire differentiates between types of hire and beneficiary status to ensure that the beneficiaries gain the most benefit. 

## **Summary: Main achievements of the Trust during the year to facilitate delivery of the objects of the Charity.** 

Because of past and on going attacks on the hall by vandals and a total lack of police presence, security systems have had to be put in place to keep insurance premiums at a reasonable level. 

Major work on the boundary trees was undertaken, especially one very old oak tree, which it is hoped will now last for many more years. 

The sewer running down the back of the hall had to be cleared of tree roots, this will obviously be an ongoing problem. 

## **Impact of Covid 19 Pandemic** 

The Trust received all grants available and zero rate demand which helped enormously in keeping the Village Hall a viable community resource ready to open again when the law allows. 

The AGM was postponed, with the same Trustees continuing to manage the property, The Trustees Report (2019/20) to the beneficiaries, the Accounts and Financial Report that would normally been presented at the AGM were delivered to each household in the village via the Village News 

Due to the vulnerable or clinically vulnerable status of all but two of the Trustees, it was decided that urgent business would be delt with via email plus regular updates on the Trust's financial position. The Trustees decided to continue with the cleaning contract, but just once a month. 

Along with the government grants received, the land brought in much needed income. The Trust is fortunate that unlike other halls it does not rely on the activities of a Social Club (ie bar) for revenue.
