achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**The Hall was pleased to see a return to**
**semi-regular activities that were missing**
**during the COVID-19 pandemic, and**
**started within the 2021-22 financial year**
**to see a return to normality in terms of**
**activities.**
**The Hall sponsored functions in the**
**year for the purposes of fundraising**
**have again included concerts and opera**
**presentations, as well as live shows.**
**The Hall building is both a war memorial**
**as well as a community centre, unique**
**in that it was instigated personally by**
**David Lloyd George, Prime Minister**
**during the First World War, and it was**
**he who laid the foundation stone in**
**1922. As a permanent memorial to the**
**town war dead of the two major**
**conflicts of the 20th century, the building**
**holds sentiment to Criccieth families.**
**The Hall celebrates its centenary in 2022**
**and has seen improved engagement**
**and the attention to the Hall, which the**
**trustees hope will help the Hall gain**
**further momentum as one of the largest**
**venues for audiences in Gwynedd.**
**Being a 100-year-old building work**
**continues to be done regarding**
**renovation, including the roof in 2021,**
**and also further fundraising to**
**improving the lighting system**
**continues. With generous grants and**
**donations, the Trustees hope for this to**
**be completed in 2023.**| |---|---|---|---| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|**Though the Memorial Hall continued to face**
**adverse conditions due to the lingering effects**
**of the COVID‐19 Pandemic, the Hall continued**
**to be solvent. The Hall unfortunately ended in**
**a deficit, but with more events on the horizon**
**expectations are that the Hall will see rising**
**demand for use a community building.**
**The Memorial Hall year on year received, as**
**was to be expected, much more income from**
**Hall fees than from the 2020‐21 financial year,**
**going from £2,700 of income in 2020‐21 to**
**£16,300 in 2021‐22 – the Hall continued to still**
**find throughout the financial year though that**
**there was a reduction in activity compared to**
**pre‐COVID levels. Most income in fees comes**
**from ongoing regular events in the hall that**
**bring the community together.**
**The Memorial Hall received £13,000 in grants**
**during the financial year – mainly from**
**Gwynedd Council and Criccieth Town Council.**
**The Memorial Hall and its committee are**
**immensely grateful for the continued support**
**for the Hall through these organisations and**
**look forward to working more closely with**
**them into the future.**
**Donations were down year on year, but the**
**donations in 2020‐21 were extraordinary and**
**reflected the generosity and support in the**
**wider community and beyond for the hall.**
**Donations have returned to a level that is**
**more in line with standard, but nevertheless**
**the Trustees are grateful for all donations and**
**support provided to the Hall.**
**Most of the ongoing costs that are related to**
**larger events were non‐existent in the**
**financial year due to the low activity of one‐**
**off events.**
**The largest expense continues to be towards**
**repairs and maintenance, of which significant**
**work was done in the financial year on roof**
**repairs, servicing the electrics in the hall and**
**general repairs on infrastructure on a building**
**that is 100 years old. Ongoing grant**
**applications to fund the works continues. The**
**other concern is with regards to utilities – as**
**we all know, the costs of gas and electric have**
**been exponential, and the hall is not**
**protected from these cost increases.**| |---|---|---|---| |||| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
