Section C Objectives and activities

The aim of the Charity is to manage the Leintwardine Village Hall and Community Centre (the Leintwardine Centre) so as to provide an attractive, well-equipped venue for events for the benefit of the Parish of Leintwardine and the surrounding area and to maintain and where possible, improve the facilities on offer.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional info Youmay chooseto include further statements, where relevant, about: ● policy on grantmaking; ● policy programme related investment; ● contribution made by volunteers.	The principal focus of the Charity’s Committee of Management is to maintain revenue streams so that the charity has the resources to meet its aims. The main sources are hiring income, letting income, fundraising events and donations. The Centre has hosted a number of fundraising events during the period, including quizzes, entertainment, Flicks in the Sticks, a wide variety of theatrical performances by professionals, concerts and the village players. As usual, an “open Gardens” event was held in June and generated a significant amount of income for the centre. The Centre continued to hold its highly popular “First Saturday ” coffee mornings and table top sales throughout the year. In addition, the centre received a number of donations and gifts from local people and users of the Centre. One very important regular event is “Lazy Lunches”, held once a month for the elderly residents of the village. This regularly attracts over 30 participants, who pay a modest sum for a 2-course meal. It is as much a social event as a meal. Lazy Lunches has made a modest but steady profit, even after the cost of purchasing the ingredients has been deducted. Any surplus is returned to the Centre funds, principally for the purchase of equipment for the kitchen and catering facilities (table cloths, food heaters etc). The hall has been hired regularly throughout the year for a wide range of private social events. During the year, a Wildlife Group has formed and attracts many people to the variety of lectures and visits. The Reading Room is used as the permanent base of the Leintwardine Community Library and the Leintwardine History Society. Regular maintenance and repairs have continued to be a significant item this year. We have undertaken a review of potential maintenance costs in the structure of the buildings of the Centre and are using it to form the basis of regular maintenance. . Rental of office space has been consistent and all but one of the offices have permanent tenants which contributes significantly to the financial stability of the Centre. The Old School Room has been rented to one tenant for the period and he runs his design business from there. The centre has a regularly-maintained Facebook page to publicise events in the Centre. The website is active and covers the management activities and booking arrangements. As for the committee itself, the May AGM saw a number of retirements, including two members of the catering sub-committee. Fortunately, all of those leaving the Committee have continued to contribute to its work on an ad hoc basis. The Committee launched a recruitment drive during the year which has begun to pay dividends with new Trustees joining in 2024. The Committee began an update of the Centre’s business plan for the period until 2025.

	The Centre is very fortunate to be able to count on the support of a large number of volunteers. While these individuals do not wish to be involved in the management of the Centre, they may be relied upon to help prepare or run fundraising events

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The aim of the charity is to maintain and, where possible, improve the amenities provided to the local residents. Seen in these terms, the committee has achieved its goals. It has kept the facilities in good condition and improved them where funds have permitted. Moreover, it has amassed a comfortable contingency reserve, which will undoubtedly be called upon in the coming years as the burden of repairing and maintaining the fabric of the buildings increases.
