Trustees’ Annual Report 1[st] January 2021 – 31[st] December 2021 Registered Charity No. 503829

1. Clungunford Village Hall exists for the benefit of the residents of Clungunford and the surrounding Parish, providing an area in which social, cultural, educational, and recreational activities can take place.

2. 2021 has again been affected by the Covid pandemic for most of the year. Both in that it was forced to close for part of the year, but more importantly in that the number of people attending events has declined. We have seen this in all sorts of different activities within the hall.

3. We are very sad to announce that Max Maxwell decided to stand down as a Trustee during 2021. Max has been an inspirational chair for the last few years and has led the committee with good humour and vision. He has worked particularly hard on upgrading the estate and led the project management of the refurbishment projects, from raising the grants, to overseeing the work and doing much of it himself. We are very grateful to him for his hard work and leadership and will miss him going forward.

Some activities were able to be offered again from the hall.

1. The Trustees and volunteers were able to start to offer some events from the hall, these included:

Flicks in the Sticks

2 x Arts Alive performances

Saturday night dance New Annual Christmas quiz Elders Christmas lunch Weekly Table Tennis Monthly Bike Night

We also had some community hirings of the hall an area which we will be looking to expand.

Unfortunately, the Clungunford Bowls club closed. The club had not been able to recruit new members and could not afford the maintenance of the bowls green from the membership fees. The local community are now looking to start a Croquet club from the same facilities in the Spring of 2022.

Important improvements to the building took place in 2021.

1. We continue to maintain the fabric of the building while it was closed. We were lucky enough to be awarded very generous grants from the National Lottery and Arnold Grant, which allowed us to complete the refurbishment of the toilets and purchase additional equipment for the kitchen.

Volunteers continue to be a hugely important asset.

1. The Trustees could not carry out their responsibilities without the support of the community volunteers. We are very fortunate to have such a dedicated and hard-working group of local residents. We will continue to do all we can to support them so that they feel appreciated and part of the plans for the development of the village hall as a community resource.

Financial position

1. Our income has severally dropped during 2021. We have had some income and activities in the hall and we have again been awarded some Covid grants, as a result our financial position is not a concern at the current time however we do need to increase income to cover the running costs in the coming months.

Next steps.

1. The Trustees accept that we will need to be creative and work hard to encourage use of the hall by the local community. We have ambitious plans for 2021 with 3 events planned on the Village Green during the summer. We are determined to build the Village Hall as a focus for the people of Clungunford and build its reputation outside of the catchment as an excellent place to attend events and hire for celebrations.
