## **Trustee Annual Report for the financial year ending 31 December 2024.** 

Tallarn Green Village Hall. Tallarn Green. SY14 7LJ. Registered number 519252. 

Willington and Worthenbury Community Council is the (owner) nominated responsible body for Tallarn Green Village Hall.  Helen Pike, as Chairman of the Community Council sits as nominated Trustee on the Village Hall Committee. The Village Hall is run by a Committee, consisting of a Chairman; Deputy Chairman; Treasurer; Secretary; Trustee plus 3 coopted members. 

In August 2023, following a specialist report which condemned the hall flooring, the hall closed. Consultation with a number of companies, the Committee agreed to engage a local company to install a sprung wooden floor on an insulated concrete base. 

During this period funds were raised via 2 grants plus a Just Giving page. The grants were for £34,747.09 (Shared Prosperity Key Fund Government grant)  and £5k (Bernard Sunley Foundation grant)  plus match funding from the hall. Additional works were identified during the renovation such as replacing skirting boards, water-proofing a damp gable end wall, redecoration and two window replacements. The original shared prosperity key fund grant offer for the floor replacement (£31,786.69) was incrementally increased to include these additional costs 

All works were completed by 8 April 2024 and the Hall was reopened with a Village wide event on 29 April 2024. 

The Committee worked to ensure that hall bookings quickly recovered to pre closure levels. This was in addition to regular events held by the Committee, which include Together Tuesdays and a visit from the mobile library every four weeks. This is a coffee morning to bring together local residents. Since the Village public house closed we host a Pop-up bar every two months. Activities such as these add to the income stream of the Hall generated from outside bookings. 

The final accounts for 2024 reflect a sound financial position which is a direct result of the Committee’s proactive stance and puts the Village Hall in a healthy state for the forthcoming year. 

It must also be acknowledged that funding levels for 2024 were exceptional. This was because we received large amounts of one-off grant funding. If those figures are stripped out then our generated income was £6,271.36., which is the region of the Hall’s normal income.
