Charitable objects
For the purposes of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of Everingham and Neighbourhood without distinction of gender or of political, religious or other opinions and in particular for use for meetings, lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants.
Report Date April 2022
1. Summary of the Main Activities Undertaken for the Public Benefit
The Village Hall and surrounding grounds are used for Social and Cultural activities organised by the Village Hall Committee and other volunteers - these include coffee mornings, ‘inn nights’ and special events. Members of the public from Everingham and the environs utilise the Multi Use Games Area and Children’s Playground and may hire the hall and grounds for parties, sports and other events.
2. Summary Of The Main Achievements for The Year
Like most organisations, this is the second year that Covid19 restrictions have curtailed activities, with the hall effectively closed for six months – Winter through to Summer and around Christmas and New Year. Whilst this resulted in reduced fundraising opportunities, we were successful in applications for government grants related to Covid19 and utilised the periods of closure to upgrade some of our facilities and undertake maintenance to the exterior of the building. This included
-
construction and furnishing of a new larger Gazebo, which is proving very popular
-
● new furniture for the bar area and for part of the hall ● a revamp of the kitchen area, to include a commercial glass washer, new fridge and more work surface
-
● New guttering and refurbishment of the flat roof area.
During the period when hospitality businesses could serve people outdoors only, a few coffee mornings were held in the grounds and these were very warmly received.
The village hall (and the church) benefited greatly from the April open garden at Ellerker House, as part of the National Garden Scheme. Village hall committee members joined other volunteers in providing cakes and drinks to the many visitors.
The first larger event at the hall itself took place at in August, marking the official opening of the new Multi Use Games Area (MUGA). The MUGA had been completed in late 2020, thanks to a grant from FCC Communities Foundation, but the MUGA launch had to be delayed until Summer 2021. The event included a magic show, bouncy castle, games and a buffet. It was well attended, although numbers were impacted, as it took place at a time when many villagers remained wary of social interaction.
The annual Fireworks evening in November was our most successful ever.
Private Hire of the hall and grounds, for activities that are of social benefit, also recommenced during the Summer. These varied from two wedding celebrations to yoga sessions and there were several children’s parties. During the next financial year it is hoped that we will be able to upgrade the heating of the main hall, as this limits significantly our ability to hire out and make best use of the hall.
3. Brief Statement of the Policy on Reserves
Until the last financial year, the charity aimed to maintain a cash reserve equal to annual operating costs. Last year this was increased in light of Covid19 uncertainties. Given the rapidly rising cost base and ongoing uncertainties, this policy will now continue as £10k and is subject to ongoing review.
4. Further Financial Details
76% of the charity’s income was from non-recurrent grant sources.
53% of payments were for upgrades to the buildings, furniture and fittings.
The total cost of the MUGA Games Area upgrade was £42k, but the majority of the costs and income for this were made in the previous financial year.
In the next financial year, it is anticipated that expenditure on heating and other minor upgrades, together with necessary repairs to the playground swings, will reduce the reserve to the agreed level.
