## Garboldisham Village Hall 

Chairs Annual Report 2022-2023 

Another year has passed and Covid has had no serious implications for the Village HallHooray!. 

This year was a special year -the Platinum Jubilee of the late Queen Elizabeth the Second. The GVH joined with all of the Village Organisations in hosting a memorable Village party to commemorate the event. It was universally thought to be one of the best Village events ever. 

The hall continues to be used on a regular basis by many local and wider area groups. I am pleased to say that the National Blood Transfusion Service continues to use our facilities. There has been an increase in regular bookings and occasional bookings throughout the year and we hope this trend will continue. 

The Trustees have reluctantly had to impose a rise in letting rate of app. 6% due to the everincreasing running costs of the hall, and especially due to the increase in oil/electricity charges. The new rates will apply from the 1[st] of May 2023. 

We have to run a number wide ranging events in order to fund the running of our hall—we now need to raise over £27,000 to cover our costs. Last year we raised over £29,000-a significant sum but it is a fine margin that we need cover. 

You will have noticed the new entrance hall carpets, part of our ongoing programme of improvements. 

We are now receiving quotes for solar panels and air source heat pumps which if funds permit, we would like to install to reduce our costs. To fund this proposed project, we are doing research to find grants/ sponsors to help with the cost of purchase and installation. 

We are grateful for the funds provided from Breckland Council which enabled us to run a Warm Room throughout the winter. The yummy community lunches have proved very popular, our thanks go to all our volunteers who made this possible. 

Throughout the year we continue to receive great support from our local Councillor, Marion Chapman-Allen, who alerts us to many funding opportunities that may become available. 

Our band of Trustees continue to work hard to keep the village hall running smoothly. Sadly, we lost one of our stalwarts this year with the resignation of Tony Frost. A long-standing Trustee, his father was also a Trustee of the Hall. 

We are pleased to welcome Christine Harris as a Trustee. Special thanks this year to Mary Bradbury,Treasurer, and Pauline Sharman, our cleaner who have continued to give their support despite their difficult personal circumstances. 

I thank them as well as all our Trustees for their differing contributions to the Village. 



We are very grateful for the support given by regular users, the visitors who support our fund-raising events and by all who use our excellent facilities for their own celebratory events. 

We hope that 23-24 will be a good year and that we all stay safe and well.  We hope that the village continues to support all the organisations within our community, and we keep a positive outlook. 

. 

Things can only get better!!
