Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

The last year has been totally affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has seen minimal activity in the hall. We have been fortunate enough to receive covid -19 grants and furlough monies from the local borough council which has helped greatly, and we have re-invested some of that money into replacing all windows and fire doors, fitted LED emergency lighting in all toilets and sound proofing in the main hall. 

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

At present we do not have a policy on reserves, mainly due to the hall **Brief statement of the** losing money over the last few years and the poor condition. Our main **charity’s policy on reserves** aim at present is to restore the village hall to a well-used facility for the village and local area which will allow us to start to make a profit which can then go into a reserve fund allowing us to be self-supporting. At present Awsworth Parish Council are acting as a small reserve to allow us to build up these funds. Covid-19 grants has allowed us to gain a small reserve. 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

None 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

The charity receives its funds by hiring out the hall to regular users and individuals for special events (Weddings, Engagements, birthdays etc) and having its own fundraising events (3 / 4 a year). We receive a grant from Awsworth Parish Council. 

Our intention is to continue to invest our profits into providing even better facilities. We would like to provide conference facilities soon. 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. 

## **Section F                     Other optional information** 

Covid-19 has had a massive effect on the village hall as we have had to close. We have furloughed the Village Hall Manager but kept the Caretaker busy doing odd jobs. 

We have received a business support grant from our local borough council and will be using this to fund replacement of the windows and fire doors in the main hall and to provide financial security until we are allowed to re-open.
