LUTTERWORTH TOWN HALL

Charity Number 515314

Annual Report Year Ending 31[st] July 2024

Objectives of the Charity

The Provision and maintenance of community hall for the use of the residents of the Town of Lutterworth, without discretion of political, religious or other opinions. The Trustees may permit the Town Hall may also permit the hall to be used by persons/organisations outside of the Town.

To preserve, repair and maintain the building which is a building of historical importance and architectural value.

This Year

The building has suffered with serious damp problems, internal and external causing some of the newly painted exterior to need touching up. The gents toilets had to be stripped right back and re plastered and the upstairs bay window end had to also be stripped back and treated and re plastered. Grants were submitted to help with his work, complete internal decoration and replacement of all upstairs curtains.

Yet again the increase in energy costs have not helped with a building of its size.

We also lost 3 Trustees, with one very sadly passing away very suddenly. This impacted on Trustees being available for wedding bookings.

Talks have continued with Life at the Lodge, with them coming on board to run the weddings etc paying a fee,whilst we work through a lease, agreeable by both sides, enabling us to have some income, all be it anything that comes in has gone straight back out on maintenance to make the building useable.

We as Trustees will retain the responsibility for the Insurance and H & S compliance of the building and any major maintenance work required.

The Town Hall, looks like a different building already with the works that have been completed and the Trustees are relieved to see it returning to its original glory when the outcome could have been so different, as at one point we had talked about boarding it up.
