The Trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity and give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits.

The Trustees meet together as a committee on a three monthly basis and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to the running of the Village Hall.

To assist with the day to day management the Secretary also acts as Booking Clerk to manage the diary for serial lets and casual lets such as children’s parties.

The Village Hall is available for use by all sectors of the community and current users include exercise classes, short mat bowls, judo, karate, netball badminton, keep phytt, Zumba, table tennis, Active Retirement Group meetings and family celebrations such as children’s parties. One part of the building is leased to West Kingsdown Boxing Club who have their own gym and training area.

We have continued a programme of regular maintenance and upgrades to the building. The Trustees acknowledge and recognise the support from volunteers to help with small maintenance jobs.

Looking Forward

The Trustees will continue to ensure that the facility is well maintained, using both volunteer and paid labour in order that the local community can benefit from a first class facility that is always clean, tidy and hygienic.

Thanks

In closing thanks must be recorded to the Trustees for their assistance in managing the building and facilities, especially those who give their time at the regular maintenance mornings. Note is recorded for the support from West Kingsdown Parish Council being the landowners of the site on which the Village Hall is situated.

15[th] July 2025 Dave King, Chairman.
