## **ST. MARY HALL TRUST** 

## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDING 31[st] DECEMBER 2021** 

## **Objectives of the Trust** 

To maintain St. Mary Hall for the use of the local community and to further Christian religious education in the parish. 

## **Structure of the Trust** 

All decisions made by the appointed trustees in accordance with the rules of the trust. 

## **Relationships** 

There are no relationships between the trust and any other body or charity. 

## **Review of Activities** 

Firstly, it must be borne in mind that the trust does not at present carry out fundraising activities. It relies on income from letting the hall and giving use of the car park to a local doctors’ surgery together with investment income to meet its outgoings. 

The hall managed to function during the year, but operations were, once again, disrupted by the pandemic regulations. Things began to get back to normal in the second half of the year when hall and parking fees were increased. The Nursery school continues to occupy the hall during the week and is the main source of income. Other users started to come back in the second half of the year. General maintenance tasks continued, and a revised cleaning rota was devised to reduce costs after the lifting of pandemic restrictions. Just under £400 was used to fund religious education. 

## **Reserves** 

It is the policy of the trustees to set aside any surpluses each year for future maintenance of the hall. At the end of 2021, £45,724 remained set aside for such work on a deposit account. There is also a repair fund of £66,270 set aside with COIF. 

All other investments are held in COIF units. The general investment fund, which at present stands at £127,544 generates dividend income to the Trust. The recoupment account is to repay capital which was used in 1974 to build the hall (The historic cost of the hall was £25,000) and the balance of this account now stands at £82,520. 

## **Surplus for the year** 



A surplus of £20,896 was reported for the year after paying all expenses. Cleaning and maintenance costs were greatly reduced owing to the ongoing pandemic restrictions. Due to the lack of lettings, honoraria costs were also greatly reduced. Hall and parking fees were increased during the year. 

The main risks are perceived as fire in the hall and legal action which may be taken by users of the hall against the trust. Both risks are insured. The trustees have also taken indemnity cover on themselves.
