RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS There were no trustee payments made A REVIEW OF THE YEAR AT MERCHISTOUN HALL HORNDEAN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION JULY 2021-JUNE 2022 Actlvitles We opened the Community Library in November 2021. We had so many book5 donated from local people we had to stop taking them in the end. The library is manned entirely by volunteers and open as often a5 we are able. Membership costs £1 per annum. We stopped counting when we got to 150 members. There are still load5 of books to be sorted and sold but we will get round to them when we can. We have regular book sales and there are books displayed throughout the building. Income from books sales and the library will be used to purchase new books. There were 10 skittles night5 Wlth fish and chips. Everyone seems to enjoy them. A reminder that, though some time ago, it was Tesco that bought us the new skittle alley. We had a quiz night in November We had afternoon tea in December for U3A and a further one on March. Also, we catered for a birthday tea. We had a XMBS Fayre and Sufnmer Fayre and we held a Jubilee Street party We have had fun in the house days for children during the holidays, and an Easter Fun Dav All the sections as above met throughout the year. Evergreens met for a while at Rosecott but eventually ceased. Of our community groups, Hampshire Heartists, Now that's Jive. U3A Horndean, Brownies all met. Our commercial user5 included Pilates, Tai chi, Yoga, Perform and a number of Ghost hunts. There were a number of functions, other commercial hirings and parties. The bar did quite well. Regretfully we had to begin the closure of Mlnnows Preschool for financial reasons. The final closure being July 22. Funding- We had a grant of £IOOO from Cllr Hatter l EHDCI for the library We were Still in receipt of Covid restart grant at the beginning of the year totalling £10501. Some staff remalned on furlough until September/October. Funding received for this £2601. Donations- Our main donations were £81 from Amazon. A neighbour donated £250 towards the removal of a tree and we had £500 from Horndean Care. Given we were still on recovery from Covid we had a pretty good year.
MANAGING THE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION'S ASSETS- MERCHISTOUN HALLAND PARK The trustees are managing to the best of their ability the building and the park with extremely limited and sometimes virtually no finance. As you all know the building is grade 11 listed, as is the garage Iworkshopl and this listing itself brings its own expense. The trustees manage by setting priorities concentratin8 on those things that can be done within the financial limitations. The Trees In the park We have removed about a dozen trees from the park this year. All were dead or dying. This work has now largely been completed. Repalrs and renewa15 The total spent on repairs and renewals this year is £19126. Below is an outline of the main works and costs throughout this year. Repalrs and renewals July 21- June 22 Action Cost Notes Repair5 to external lights 1092 This was done for Safety reasons so the lights could be switched on and off from inside the building at night lighting up the building The ground floor was substantially decorated and we added the new reception desk and furniture I these came from the libraryl Deeoratlon 555 Plumbing general New doors and vents in library store Safety test electrical Repairs to upstalrs toilet 145 2569 Primarily the replacement of the rotten fire door at the rear of the stage improving the rear securitv Legal requirement From roof leaks caused by the removal of slates by people climbing on the roof.

Removal of dead trees Further monies towards the making of the park gates Skips 6720 2358 490 Continue the clearance of accumulation of rubbish. Financial review 2021 Key challenges for the organisation The organisation is asset rich and cash poor The land and building itself can be as much a liability as an asset. The ability for a small unincorporated charSty to raise sufficient income to refurblsh and upgrade the manor house and park to meet its Grade 11 listed statu5 is limited.
The trustees have continuing to develop strategies to both decrease expenditure. including continuing to review the staff costs, and increase the income through new programme developments and soclal enterprise. The trustees have not changed from their view that the community association needs to generate at least £80.000 per annum if it is to cover its costs (excluding minnows which is supposed to be self sufficientl and £IOO.000 if it is to provide income for the restoration and up-keep of this grade 11 listed building and park.
