Freeland Village Hall Management Procedure

An Annual General Meeting is held February of each year. A notice is circulated for attendance affixed on notice boards and in the Parish magazine seven days before the meeting.

The following business is transacted;

To receive a report from the Chairperson of the trustees on the main activities of the Charity during the previous year.

To receive and approve the accounts for the past year.

To elect Trustees and from within this group to appoint the following officers for the forthcoming year.

Chairperson

Treasurer

Secretary

Annual report. The Management Committee must comply with their obligations under Part VI of The Charities Act 1993 regarding the preparation of an annual report with audited accounts and its transmission to the Charity Commission.

The Trustees meet on the first Monday of each month.

The Trustees decide on the terms and conditions upon which Freeland Village Hall maybe used.

The Trustees receive no remuneration or benefits, giving their time voluntarily.

A sub-committee meets each October to discuss the finances, in the light of outgoings and decide on the Hire Charges for the following year.

At this meeting discussions also take place regarding changes to the Conditions of Hire, reviews of Fire Safety and Risk Assessment documents.

The proceedings of such sub-committees are taken back to the Trustees for approval at their next meeting.

Volunteers

The Trustees are always grateful for the support and help of our volunteers in ‘meeting and greeting’ our hall users at the weekends and the update of the website.

3

Achievements over the 2023 period in refurbishments to Freeland Village Hall;

• The oak wooden floor has been stripped and a new surface treatment rendered.

• Four large mats at all the entrances in both the foyer and the hall.

• New flame-retardant curtains made and fitted.

• New LED lighting installed to replace cracked shades. The LED bulbs should prove to be more energy efficient than the previous ones.

• New constant boiling water heater fitted in the kitchen

Financial review

To enable these costly upgrades to happen it was necessary to spend more than our income in 2023. A decision will have to be made and approved by the Trustees in 2024 to move some of the reserves held, in the Holdings Account, into our main active account.

Reserves held in a Holdings Account

The amount of funds held in this account are used for major refurbishments such as seen in 2023.

In the unlikelihood that, for some reason, the hall must be closed for a period then adequate funds will be needed to cover regular demands on the account such as insurance, utilities, etc.

Future objectives;

The Trustees are mindful of rising costs particularly in relation to utility providers i.e. electricity, gas and water. They are actively engaged in exploring alternative sources of energy e.g. ground sourced heating to replace the existing gas central heating boilers and solar panels which will reduce the electricity bills.
