Annual Report for Pratts Bottom Village Hall Charitable Trust

For Financial Year Ending 31[st] March 2022

Registration Number: 303033

Norstead Lane

Pratts Bottom

Orpington

Kent

BR6 7NQ

The hall was first registered as a Charitable Trust on 20[th] May 1948. It operates in accordance with the rules of the Charity Commission. The Trust Deed was amended and approved 7[th] June 2001.

A group of 9 trustees meet regularly to administer and maintain the hall. Trustees are recruited from villagers or regular users of the hall. The Annual General Meeting is an open meeting held in May. Trustees are elected for the next 12 months and annual accounts are presented.

Income is raised by letting fees, fund raising and occasional donations. The Trustees aim to keep a sum of approximately £20,000 in reserve to cover maintenance costs and meet any statuary requirements. This has been reduced because of Covid, but the Trustees hope to slowly replenish this sum, without penalising hirers.

The hall provides a central meeting place for villagers and offers excellent, modern facilities for the local community. There are clubs and societies both educational and recreational. It provides a social meeting place for both elderly and young people and there are opportunities for physical and mental wellbeing activities. The hall has been well modified to accommodate disabled persons and is used regularly once a week by a disabled group.

There are 12 groups that regularly use the hall during the course of a week and another 3 that use it once a month. It is not unusual for 11 or 12 children/family parties to take place during the course of a month and occasional weddings are most welcome.

The long term aim of the Trustees is raise money for a new, insulated roof, which would benefit hirers, the environment and reduce heating bills.
