Takeley Village Hall (Reglstsred Charfty number 301409) Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 31st March 2024 Governance The charty's address ts Takeley Silver Jubilee Hall, Brewers End. Takeley. Bishop's Stortford, CM22 6QJ. The charity is a village hall, to be used predominalety by villagers for recreational, social, educational and wellbeing purposes. The Hall owns the building, the adjoining social club and land immediately surrounding the Hall. The charity operates entire for public benefrt. The goveming document is a dedaration of trust dated 22 July 1936, as varied by scheme dated 14 March 1939, and amended on 09 July 2018. Trustees of the charity are;_ Michael Coleman - Chaiman Paul Burnett- VI Chairman John Monk Eric Rogers Carol Pratt Mel Wray Jane Bridgeman Barbara Johnson Robert Newman Anne Regeli Trustees are appointed as both nominees and representatives of the village organisations that regularfy use the Hall. Actlvltles for the year 2023124 Takeley Village Hall attracts a wide range of user groups of all ages, who use the Hall for various activrties including social. recreation. education and exercise purposes, catering for everyone from the very young to the elderty and everyone in beiween. The prschool is our biggest user. occupying the hall for 7 hours every day throughout school term time and is then followed by an after-school club. During school holidays when the pre- school close Essex Boys and Girls use the Hall plus the recreational grass area at the rear of the building. This space is available to Hall users in general and is also frequently used by the many Scout and Guide groups that use the adjacent Scout building throughout the week. Our 13th 10k Run successfully went ahead wilh approx. 450 Runners. The 10k committee did an excellent job raising in excess of £7k, which went directly towards our loan repayment. This has easily grown into the biggest village event and as such we have actively encouraged other village groups to participate. The Mens Shed ran the barbecue this year from which they kept the proedS. TakeY Running Group helped with the
stewarding and also took on responsibility for the kids fun run, the Cricket club ran the car park and the Scout group ran the baggage drop off. We very much see this as the way fopNard as it spreads the workload and adds to the communty feel of the event. My thanks go to the dedIted 10k committee who put a lot of time and effort in. especially over the weekend but also organizing throughout the year, ensuring the run continues its success, especially Alex 8eTwick whom we would be lost without her. Thanks also to the Streeter family for continuing to let us use part of their farm for the run, and also to the many volunteer stewards and other helpers on the day. Along with many other communities, Takeley lebrated the Kings Coronation in 2023 with the Hall and Social Club having an evening of celebration which included the lighting of a beacon. We were able to cary out some re-surfacing and levelling work to the entran of the Social Club car park which had deteriorated to such an extent that it had become dangerous for pedestrian use. This also included the installation of a speed bump. We were finally able to complete work on the toilet block in the Social Club. Ratcliffe and Burridge were selected to construct new female and disabled toilets in the existing entrance area. refurbish the men's tOltS, and build a new entran. The cost of the build was £139,201.53. We managed to obtain Grants from Garfield Weston (£10,000). ACRE (£20,000), Tom Amos Charity (£5,1)00) and Uttlesford District Council (£3,500). We also reiVed donations of £45,158.64, which included a very generous £20,000 from Mr. Pat Curran and £5000 from R.H Haynes in memory of his mother Margaret our fomier treasurer, to whom we record our thanks. leaving the charity to pay the remainder from ts reserves. Accounts for the year 2023124 l am pleased to report that the Hall continues to be in a healthy financial position. Lettings income has increased by 7.50h this year and the income from the Feed in Tariff has more than doubled which was due to an accountinglpayment issue wtth our feed in supplier. This will revert back to normal next year. Operating costs increased by 14 % mainly due to increases in maintenan costs and insuran. Fundraising contributed £7,347 (previous year £8.410) which contributed towards the loan repayment. Overall. there was a deficit of £43,715 (previous year surplus of £13,701). but this was after contributing £55,543 towards the toilet improvements project. Risk Areas and Risk Management Cash and Bank balances of £60,409 are held at the yearthend. which is sufficient to cover more than two years of loan repayments and wnning costs. A continuation of fundraising activities and a fvrther build up of fijnds is required to enable the charty to fully repay Ihe k)an. The hall and buildings were revalued this year to ensure that our insurance cover is sufficient. Final, I record my thanks to the Hall trustees for all their work and support throughout the year but inevitabty some aVayS stand out more for their input especially Jane Bridgeman, not onty for her work on the lettings which we all know is highw efficient. but
all the other tasks she takes on such as meter readings. fire and risk assessments and generally managing the Hall. Thanks also to Paul Bumett for his secretarial duties and Rob Newman and Anne Regeli for the financials. Special thanks should also be recorded for Andrea who does such a fantasticiob keeping the Hall Can and tidy. One name missing from those thanks is the tttan that is John Monk who, after several previous efft)rts has finally made his decision to step down after 54 years outstsnding voluntary service to both the Hall and the wider communty of Takeley. I cannot speak highty enough of John and his importance to the village should not be overestimated. It was John who first mooted the idea of a social club as a means to bring much needed revenue to the Hall. He, along with Gordon Silvester then set about building tt which proved to be such a roaring success that they then built a large extension trebling its size. John was one of the primary movers in taking on the huge job of re-furbishing the Hall which was split into 3 phases. I can assure you all that getting this completed took a huge amount of time in planning, financing through many grant applications and the actual completion of works which John SUpeIsed using his massive amount of knowledge and experIen. You're going to be a huge loss to us John and the Hall ts rtainlY in a much better position for having you as a trustee over so many years. I think I can confidently speak on behalf of everyone in thanking you so much for your hard work and the influence that you have had on the Hall over the last 5 decades, and we wish you and Shirley all the best for your future.
