2910112025, 19:56 IBVHR&port2024 - Google Docs ObJectIv and actlvltles The object of the Charity is the provision and maintenance of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of the parish of Ince Blundell and its immediate vicinity Its aim is to provide first class hall facilities at an affordable cost to voluntsry organisation5 seprfing the community All general administrative work is undertaken by the Management Committee on a voluntary basis, for which they receive payment of out of pocket expenses wher8 relevant The charity's Trustees confim that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Commission in exercising their powers and duties. A variety of local communlty groups mak8 use of the Hall's facilitles on a regular basis such as various church social and special interest groups as well as local inhabitants of the Parish for personal celebrations and other activities including the use of the ha51 as a Polling Station. A lease was also agreed in 2019 for the use of the Hall on a regular basis by the Sunshine Centre. which is run by an organisation providing home help and companionship. Flnanclal R•vlew Last yearfs report painted quite a dismal picture for the future of the charity. Barely had the hall reopened after an extended period of dosure then on 1st February 2024 it had to be closed once again due to a heating oil leak that caused fumes in the hall itS81f and a noticeable presence of heating oil around the fuel lank. This, coupled with all officers of the charity indicating that th8y intended to leave. left us in quite a dire and stressfu predicament. With the real prospect of the charity having lo close. the own@r of Ihe land on which the hall sits had been contacted by the trustees and had indicated that he was prepared to take legal advice in respect to the future of the land, and therefore the hall. should the charity have to cease, however this was something he hoped could be avoided. The Charity Commission had been advised and was fully aware of the situation. Fortunately, with the funds in hand (£9984) and the monthly rent being received from the Sunshine Tea Rooms, there was sufficient to provlde bare bones funding for the hall whilst the govemance, with new trustees and a new working committe8, could be established. This did take place but after the date that this report covers, suffice it to say, however, there is now new life being brought to the village hall and this will be reportéd in the next annual trustees report. The Charity Commission were notified of the changes in govemance and, after following their advic eir case file was dosed. Bob Mcca Chair of Trustees Date .
