Chairs Annual Report, March 2020-April 2021.
Garboldisham Village Hall,
What a year that none of us could foretell!
The Village Hall, the heart of the community, has now been closed for over 12 months. There may be a cautious light at the end of the tunnel as we hope to reopen, in a very reduced but Covid 19 secure manner, in June 2021.
Throughout the year we have continued to be a major hub for the “National Blood Transfusion Service”- being one of the best attended venues in the county. We are hoping to maintain this link into the future. In a similar vein our local Primary School used the Hall as an emergency centre during 2020. These were the only lettings that took place this past year.
This year we have had very welcome and continuing financial support from Breckland Council and our own Garboldisham Charities, these have been vital for us to keep the Hall’s head above water and help us to plan ahead. We were indebted to our Councillor Marion Chapman-Allen, for bringing to our attention any funding opportunities.
Without these awards we would have been unable to meet all of our Expenses. Much of these are essential e.g., Insurances which we simply have to fund.
Last year, 2019-20, we had raised nearly £25k—our income evaporated as we were unable to operate the Hall as normal. These awards mean that we face 2021-22 with substantial funds in the Bank which will enable us to recover and move forward.
The year ahead will be different, there will have to be new letting guidelines, new health and safety procedures put in place and strict cleaning protocols put in place to ensure These will see a different usage of the hall, differing booking timings to allow for covid cleaning, but we have to protect not only the hall users but also our volunteers and the wider community.
Our planned cautious reopening date is June 1[st] subject to Government Guidance.
This year we have lost two of our Trustees-I would like to thank both Dianna Goodwin and Sandra Reed who have stepped down from being Trustees for all their hard work and support they have given to the Village Hall over the years.
I would also like to thank our cleaner, my fellow Trustees for their continuing contribution to ensure the maintenance of the Hall. We look forward to welcoming any new volunteers who would be willing to serve as Trustees.
Let us hope that the opening of the Hall will enable the income stream to be resumed-albeit at a reduced rate- and with continued support of our Hirers, our Community and our trustees that we will all be in a more positive place this time next year.
Martin Stockdale Chair of the Garboldisham Village Hall Trustees.
