## ANNUAL REPORT 

LAVANT MEMORIAL HALL Pook Lane East Lavant Chichester West Sussex is registered with the Charities Commission (No. 305390/1) and constituted by deed of trust dated 17th February 1951. 

The Parish Council of Lavant is the Custodian Trustee of the Charity and the Committee of Management is the Managing Trustee of the Charity. 

## Correspondence Addresses: 

Treasurer: 28 Charlton, Chichester PO18 0HU. Caretaker: Ashdean, Midhurst Road, Lavant, Chichester PO18 0DE. 

## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE, AND MANAGEMENT 

The Committee of Managing Trustees of the Charity is wholly responsible for the control and management of the Charity. Charity law requires the trustees of the association to prepare a receipts and payments account and a statement of assets and liabilities for each financial year. In addition the Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Association. Also they are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

New Trustees appointed to the Management Committee are recruited and appointed with due attention paid to the Charity's governing document particularly with regards to any person who belongs to an external body. 

## CHARITY OBJECTIVE 

The object of the Charity is to maintain Lavant Memorial Hall for the communal benefit of the inhabitants of Lavant village and the surrounding area. The committee aims to provide good facilities at a reasonable cost to all hirers. In doing so the Committee Trustees have had regards to the guideline issued by the Charity Commission on Public Benefit. 

## ACTIVITIES AND DEVELOPMENTS 

Two major events impacted considerably on the activities of the Hall during the year. Exceptional wet weather early in 2020 forced the Hall to close for a month due to flooding, although we were able to claim on the Hall's business interruption insurance. A week after the Hall reopened, the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown again forced the Hall to close and the cancellation of bookings on a rolling basis. A government grant was obtained which broadly covered the lost income for the five months from March to August.  The Hall was able to reopen from 1st September as a "Covid Secure" venue after the implementation of  appropriate restrictions and processes. Throughout the pandemic the Trustees have taken the view that the Hall should stay open, if at all possible, to support the local community with permissable activities in accordance with Covid-19 regulations, and that these objectives should overide purely financial considerations, provided the future of the Hall is not jeopardised. To this end the Trustess approved a reduction in the minimum financial reserve the Hall should hold to £15,000, equivalent to approximately seven months normal revenue. 

Important maintenance and renewal activities continued with replacement of the stage projector and sound system, essential electrical work to bring the installation up to current standards and renovation of the Hall's drains. 

Future improvement projects include refurbishment of the sports shower and changing room facilities and upgrading of the fire detection and emergency lighting system.
