Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main 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	During the current year with Covid Restrictions a lot of activities in the Village Hall have been curtailed. Groups have continued when restrictions allowed, ensuring that Covid secure measures are taken whilst still providing a community service. However, we have used the period to make a number of improvements to the fabric of the building (which has continued into the year 2021-22) including treatment of damp (dry lining, replastering), roof work, modernising the lighting and refitting storage areas so that increased use of the facilities post covid are not disrupted by improvement works
