REPORT OF THE CHAIR
Crockenhill Village Hall
Crookenhill VillaLye Hall was built usinR money donaled by residents and. upon completion of the buildin￿ in
1958. a charity was set up enabling a group ofvolunteers to carry out the administrdiion and ensure that all legal
and Statutory r¢quircmcnt3 wcrc mct. Th¢ hall has und¢rgon¢ various cxt¢ns¢on& r¢fLts and rcdecomtion ovcr thc
years in order to remain fit for PUTpose and a wclcomillg place for everyone.
The Trugtees work hard ￿ fulfjl the objects of the C.hArity and fiindraise in orde.r lo keep the hire eosts afford8hle
lo the community and undertake many ofthe maintenance tasks themselves in order to keep expenditure to a
minimum. This year, one otrexpenditure was kept to a minimum in order io rebuild the resetves because ihey had
become depleted. but the replacement of the b(Triler essential to ensure hirer5 w¢r¢ k¢pl warm this winter.
A fllndrdising cornmittce made up of voluntccrs, wa5 set up to tneet indcpcndcntly. It is chaired by a Trustee to
ensure il operates within the Charity guideline5. It has already proven to be effective. The group meet to SUPPOrt
fundraising initiatives, plan a calendar of events, and also discus5 thtng5 like raffles, ticket pricing, and
advertising. 'fhis is in turn reduees time previously spent on these matters at monthly committee meetings and has
freed up the Trnstees to focus more on the business side of the Charity-

hall has mutual benefiis which the Village Hall Committee are keeEJ io tsp into.
The Truslees agreed to increase the Village Hall profile on Social media and at Christtnas a r¢pon was posted
