AND VILLAGE HALL FOR THE USE OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE
PARISH OF AWSWORTH WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF POLITICAL,
RELIGIONS OR OTHER OPINIONS, INCLUDING USE FOR
MEETINGS, LECTURES AND CLASSES, AND FOR OTHER FORMS
OF RECREATION AND LEISURE-TIME OCCUPATIONS, WITH THE
OBJECT OF IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE FOR THE SAID
INHABITANTS.| |---|---| ||• General Charitable Purposes
• Education / training
• The Advancement Of Health Or Saving Of Lives
• Disability
• Religious Activities
• Arts / culture / science
• Amateur Sport
• Environment / conservation / heritage
• Economic / community Development / employment
The recreation ground is used formally by Awsworth Bowls Club and
Awsworth Cricket Club. Both organisations have programmes for young
people to learn the required skills. We also have informal football,
basketball and skateboarding. The recreation ground is also used by the
general public for picnics, exercise and general relaxation.
The recreation ground is maintained primarily by Awsworth Parish
Council.
Awsworth Village Hall underwent a large refurbishment a few years ago
and this has helped to encourage more people/usergroups to base their
activities in the hall.
The Village Hall Manager continues to promote the hall positively
resulting in even more regular bookings.
We have now purchased a Bouncy Castle and offer this in a children’s
party package. This too has increased the usage of the hall.
There is more to do, but with 3 / 4 fundraising events in the hall every
year and improvements with the Bar facility which allows us to have more
weddings, engagements, birthdays etc we can reinvest to make the
facility even better.
In planning the future activities, the trustees reviewed the guidance on
public benefit at their trustees meeting to ensure everything we do abides
by this guidance.| ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** |You**may choose**to include
further statements, where
relevant, about:
•policy on grantmaking;
•policy programme related
investment.
•contribution made by
volunteers.|We do not provide grants.
Our programme of events for the year allows us to reinvest in the facility.
Each year we intend to provide different/more events to keep it fresh and
provide more funds for reinvestment.
Apart from the Village Hall Manager, all members of the management
committee are volunteers. Their involvement in the management of the
hall and assistance with events is a tremendous help and assists with
cutting costs.| |---|---| March **2012** **TAR** 3 ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** In the last year the usage of the village hall has improved again, and we are probably now close to 90% usage. We have provided additional Activities like wrestling and Ferret Racing and Comedy Nights to widen our audience. We have purchased new chairs. We have had an Energy Review and have since introduced destratification fans on the ceiling to redirect the hot air down. This has improved the heating of the main room and reduced or gas usage. We have got planning permission to build a Café on the front of the Village 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 when we first took over. Our main aim at present is to **charity’s policy on reserves** restore the village hall to a well-used facility for the village and local area which has allowed us to start to make a profit which is reinvested into the building and facilities we can provide. We are now self-supporting. **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 used to receive a grant from Awsworth Parish Council, but that has now stopped due to our ongoing success. Our intention is to continue to invest our profits into providing even better facilities. We can now provide conference facilities. - 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** We have invested the Covid-19 grants and profits from hiring out the Village Hall to improve the facilities yet again and will continue to do so. We have received planning permission to build an extension to provide a Community Café and are in the process of getting quotes.
