Milstead Village Hall Annual Report 2020 - 2021
Mission Statement:
To support, encourage and promote a vibrant, happy community spirit through the provision of an accessible, welcoming, safe and versatile space that is available for the enjoyment of a range of activities.
The Past Year
The year ending 31 March 2021 has been dominated by the direct and indirect consequences of the COVID pandemic. We had to close Milstead Village Hall during three separate periods of lockdown, and our activities were very constrained during the brief periods of respite in between the lockdowns. The initial lockdown period from March until early July 2020 was particularly challenging insofar as the closure of the Playschool who use the Hall 4 days a week and visits of any sort to the site were severely constrained. During the subsequent lockdowns, in November 2020 and again from January 2021 onwards, the Playschool opened and was able to continue operating, which at least meant that we were able to provide a semblance of support to the local community, albeit without any regular income.
Most of our other regular activities including the W.I., Horticultural Society, and Woodturning were unable to operate at all, and the restrictions on social gatherings prevented the usual private parties or weddings from taking place.
In order to be able to open at all during the periods when the lockdown rules were eased, it was necessary for us to achieve “COVID Secure” status. We introduced new conditions of hire and liaised closely with hall users to ensure that safe systems of operation were agreed and maintained plus the installing of hand sanitisers and hand driers in the toilets.
Financially the year was like no other, not only was hire income minimal but most of our normal sources of fundraising also more or less dried up. However the various government grants for which we were eligible went a long way to compensating for these shortfalls.
