Trustees’ Annual Report 1[st] January 2025 – 31[st] December 2025 Registered Charity No. 503829
-
The Clungunford Village Hall and Green charity 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.
-
As a small local charity, we are very fortunate to be well supported by our Trustees, volunteers and the local community as well as having good working relationships with the other organisations in the village such as the Parish Council and the Parish Church.
-
The Charity has now established itself at the heart of the local community as a meeting place and facility for events and activities. We have been able to offer the hall for local birthday parties and celebrations and are getting approached by potential hirers from further afield who recognise the opportunity of using the field.
-
The annual Car Show has now established itself as a major annual event and this year we had nearly 600 visitors and over 100 exhibitors. It takes a lot of organising and once again thanks go to the show organisers as well as the volunteers that help to manage the event.
-
Because we have been able to increase our activity in the hall, we have shown our income increase by nearly 30%. A large part of the increase comes from activities that bring people from the community and beyond into the hall and we must offer a very big thanks to David and Madelene Wilkinson for leading on most of these.
-
We have also seen an increase in the income from Hall Hire during this year which has more than doubled.
-
The Trustees undertook a review of the accessibility of the hall during the year and as a result we have built a new disabled ramp into the hall. This has been greatly appreciated by many of the hall users. (the cost of this is not included in the accounts and was paid early in 2026.)
Financial position
-
After making a small loss last year we are very pleased to show that we have generated a surplus of over £12,000 this year,(some of this will be used to pay for the disabled ramp previously referred to.)
-
We will be undertaking a review of our reserves policy in 2026 so that we can feel comfortable that we have the funds in place to cover unforeseen circumstances.
