## **BOX VILLAGE HALL (KNOWN AS THE SELWYN HALL)** 

## _**Registered Charity number: 305468**_ 

## **Selwyn Hall Management Committee (SHMC).** 

## **Chair’s Annual report for the year 1st April 2024 to 31 March 2025** 

In the past year the SHMC has remained focussed on ensuring that the Selwyn Hall remains a comfortable, safe and legally compliant environment. Repairs and improvements have been made to the external decoration, electrical installation, fire safety and most notably a new electrically operated fire-retardant shutter has been installed between kitchen and hall. 

The roof has been a major focus of the work of the elected trustees. On behalf of the SHMC the SHEC sub-committee has progressed discussions with contractors, taken advice and obtained quotations for the replacement of the roof over the newest part of the building. 

The hall relies on the combined efforts of all the trustees to whom we are all grateful, particularly those who are elected to serve as officers of the Committee. Although we each have a “lead” responsibility, the practical tasks associated with managing and maintaining the building are shared among the trustees. 

The representation on the SHMC of appointed trustees from significant users of the premises continues and in April the SHMC was joined by Rev Clair Southgate representing Box School and St Thomas a Becket PCC and in September the SHMC welcomed Patricia Shawwa representing the Garden Club. I was delighted to be elected to the SHMC on 5[th] December 2024 as Chair and am grateful to Geoff Holstead for so ably acting as Vice Chair since the sad loss of my predecessor, Paul Thomas. 

Use of the hall continues to improve as previous users have continued and new users have been attracted by the facilities on offer. This is reflected in the improved financial position shown in the Annual Accounts. 

We are grateful to Box Parish Council and to the Bingham Trust and Box Revels for their generous grants in the year. 

We greatly value the benefit to the community of the Wiltshire Council branch library located in the hall and we are delighted that Box School continues to make extensive use of the facilities. 

I am confident that in the coming year the SHMC will continue to meet the economic and practical challenges of running the hall and sustain the great contribution it makes to the life of our village.
