ANNUAL REPORT

2023

1[st ] April 2022 - 31[st ] March 2023

Halls Educational Foundation

Chairmans Report July 2023

My word 2023 has been an eventful year for the Halls Foundation Charity.

We have committed to support the village project to refurbish and extend the Snettisham Pavilion for the benefit of all young people. We see the aspirations of the young and their development being enhanced indeed enveloped by physical education and sport in general. An grant of f50,OOO has been promised once issues we have raised have been dealt with to the Trustees satisfaction.

Bringing the Pavilion, situated on the village playing field, up to date will provide opportunities for young and mature people to engage together fostering community spirit and village harmony.

Our long serving administrator Chris Holt retired this year and we are fortunate to have appointed Hilary Wheal as his successor. Hilary is growing into her new role after making a fine start and we hope Hilary will be with us on our journey for many years to come. This year we have continued our work supporting the students who reside in the village of Snettisham and we have adjusted upwards the grants made available to all qualifying age groups.

We have been able to award grants in the last academic year totalling f 85,000

I feel very proud of our work together in maintaining and forwarding the aims and objectives of the Halls Foundation. I feel that by spreading the work load amongst Trustees we have developed a shared ownership of decision making and drive in the work of HEF.

I thank all Trustees for the continued commitment to the Charity and the values we all hold dear.
