## **Trustees Report for 2020**
**While the reality of the last year of operations at the hall were not entirely good as we were in lockdown at the start of the year -the financial position of the Village Hall has strengthened as further COVID grants were received. For 2021, the Village Hall received nearly £20,000 in COVID grants, on top of the £12,000 odd received for 2020. As lockdown restrictions eased, use of the Village Hall by various groups started to increase and, although not yet back at pre-COVID levels, the position is positive. The loss from simply running the Hall has reduced slightly – as shown on the Income and Expenditure accounts. The year ended with a small surplus as no minor/major works were undertaken.**
**This will be changing in the current financial year as a major redecoration of the Main Hall and other maintenance /development work is in the pipeline. Going forward it was noted we will still need to be cautious about spending with the uncertainty in relation to energy costs. Electrical work has been completed in the Green Room kitchen. New fire-resistant curtains are planned for the main hall – cost £1870 including VAT. The main hall now has LED lights throughout – old strip bulbs have been used elsewhere in the Hall.**
**Our Bookings Secretary is retiring after 30 years admirable service. This has led us to review our booking, invoicing and media operations. It is planned to bring all the main functions online through a website, and online booking and invoicing systems.**
**Overall the position of the Village Hall is positive looking forward. However it is noted that whilst current reserves are good the absence of external funding from the Recreational Trust which has provided substantial benefits to the hall over many years will create challenges when looking for funds for development work which may be needed in the medium to long term.**
**Neil Clarke – Trustee and Chair of the Village Hall Management Committee.**
