## **Annual Chair Report for 2024** 

## 14th October 2025 

Firstly I think you'll agree with me when I say 2024 seems a long time ago. So the plan moving forward will be to hold our annual AGM in April every year. This gives us enough time to get our accounts ready but also means we are discussing and presenting far more relevant information to our community at these meetings. So tonight's meeting will bring 2024 to a close and we will meet again in six months to bring 2025 to a close. 

Our main fundraising campaign #fixitupforthefuture came to life in 2024 and work began on improving the main hall space. So far the space has been redecorated with new outer flooring, painted walls and woodwork, a modified PA and sound system plus new colour changing up lights. Shortly new commercial user friendly blinds and curtains will be fitted and plans to resurface the stage are being discussed. 

2024 saw a very successful Fireworks night and a Viking Beer Festival plus regular quizzes, bingo nights and karaoke all enjoyed by the community. 

The current financial situation is good, a small loss was made in 2024 but only due to our resident preschool paying their final 2024 invoice late, otherwise we would have shown a profit. 

Moving into 2025 we tackled some long overdue administrative tasks, completing a set of policies and procedures for the running of the hall to sit alongside our governing document. Signing user agreements with all our regular hirers and setting up new online document storage for managing paperwork. 

We have continued to feature in The Mardler, update our website, host our Facebook page and use our chalk boards to inform people of what we are up to and what we have to offer. 

The biggest challenge we face currently is recruiting more volunteers and trustees to share the workload. The number of trustees currently stands at 10 with space for another 3 members to join us and we are always looking for extra volunteers for events and odd jobs. 



Overall 2024 was a very busy and successful year for SWVH. My committee has been fantastic and has dealt with everything that the hall has thrown at them again. To all those who have helped us out, you have been amazing, picking up odd jobs and coming to our rescue. Finally and of course most importantly the community has supported us all year and continues to do so for which we are very grateful.
