## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Our main achievement this year has been
to successfully fundraise sufficient funds (in
excess of £55,000) for the redevelopment
of the Playground and outdoor space and
to meet that target in less than 12 months.
We obtained grants from a range of grant-
givers (local and national) and benefited
from a great deal of fundraising efforts
involving our local community, for which we
are very grateful. Following successful
fundraising, the Playground works
commenced in February 2023 (at the end
of the financial year). The level of
community engagement in the fundraising
and in our 'working party' days (for painting
and gardening) demonstrates the strong
support from across our village for the
Playground Project.
The Hall arranged very well attended
community events this year, including a
village Jubilee Party in June 2022 (free-to-|
attend) and, subsequently, a community gathering for the broadcast of HM Queen Elizabeth II's Funeral in September 2022. Our annual community Halloween Spooktacular Party, Easter Bingo, Christmas Bingo and Valentines Disco were very successful this year, and contributed substantially to fundraising for the Playground Project whilst also providing activities for local residents. We also arranged a Spring Craft Fair and Christmas Craft Fair, which were both fully booked for stalls and very popular. The Hall hosted the tearoom and bar at the annual Village Fete, which is typically attended by 1,000-2,000 guests. In 2022-23, the Hall has continued to be regularly used as the meeting place for a wide variety of local community groups and classes. This year we hosted four weekly fitness groups (pilates, zumba and yoga), plus two weekly badminton groups, in line with our objective of improving opportunities for leisure activities for locals and guests. On Monday evenings, the local village youth club (CLCGBrigade) meets weekly in the Hall and is now regularly attended by 30 or more children. In addition, we host Garden Club's monthly meetings and Annual Village Show, and Tintern Film Nights' monthly film shows typically attracts up to 50 local guests. Tintern Abbey Sports Club has also begun to use the Hall more regularly for its own social events and fundraising activities (e.g. Quiz Night, Darts Tournament). As the improvements have been carried out to the Hall (inside and out) over the past few years, the Hall has become more regularly booked for local family birthday parties or gatherings, and wedding celebrations. We have also attracted increasing 'one-off' events by groups from further afield, which benefit the community. These included a 'Meet the Contractor & Information Day' organised for the public to understand the construction works to Tintern Wireworks Bridge; training days/classes for an educational group for education professionals; and the 'Dinky Drivers' children group play sessions.

## **Financial Review**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Review of the Para 1.21 At the end of the period, the charity's
financial position at the end financial position is strong. The cash held at
of the period bank is £58,694. The substantial funds held
relate to the fundraising which took place
for the Playground Project and the works
commenced in February 2023, just before
the end of the financial year. This level of
income and/or cash held is NOT typical for
the charity. The level of funds held will
reduce immediately upon completion of
works and payment to the playground
contractors (approx.£55,000).
Statement explaining the Para 1.22 Our policy is to hold a minimum of £3,000
policy for holding reserves in reserves. The Trustees consider this is
stating why they are held sufficient to meet operational costs and in
the event of short-term deficits from
potential reductions in income from hall
user rents and/or fundraising activities.

fundraising from events (bingo, craft fairs,
sources of funds (including Para 1.47 book sales, Halloween parties, tearoom at
