## **PEVENSEY MEMORIAL HALL – CHARITY NO. 305291** ## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** ## **1[ST] JANUARY 2023 – 31[ST] DECEMBER 2023** On behalf of the Trustees I would like to report that the Hall continues to be well used by children, teenagers and adults of all ages. From the beginning of the year the Pre School Nursery relocated to alternative premises with some of the children gaining places at the new Nursery facility at the local Primary School. Girl Guiding groups of Rainbows, Brownies and Guides catering for children from the age of 5 years upwards use the hall regularly during the term times. There are several adult dance groups who use the Hall all offering different genres of dance and are very well attended. A Morris Dancing group which caters for a cross section of adults and teenagers has also become regular weekly users. Several sessions a week are used by a Short Mat Bowls group which is affiliated to the East Sussex organisation and who often host competitions for members from other East Sussex bowling groups. There is also a weekly Community Bingo evening which is very popular and well attended. We continue with on going maintenance and refurbishment. During the year we have been able to provide an AED which is located on the outside of the hall for use by both hall users and the wider community. We also arranged training sessions in the use of the defibrillator for all hall users who wished to attend. I would like to thank the Trustees for their continued support to the hall and also thanks to the volunteers who deliver our Parish Pump magazine three times a year to the five villages in the area.
