Bardsea Malt Kiln village hall is managed by members of a Committee of Management - the trustees. Trustees are elected at the AGM or co-opted during the year. In addition the Parochial Church Council and the Parish Council are both able to appoint one trustee. Objectives and activities Objects of the charity set out in its governing document: Bardsea Malt Kiln is to be used for for the purposes of physical and mental training and recreation and social, moral and intellectual development through the medium of reading and recreation rooms, library, lectures, classes, recreations and entertainments or otherwise as may be found expedient for the benefit of the inhabitants residing within a radius of two miles of the hall, without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions. | Main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects: Having had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, the charity has provided a place for children to play and a venue for village socialising. The Malt Kiln Committee has put on some events for the village, including concerts, and it : has hired out the Malt Kiln to: regular activity groups - art, yoga, tai chi and men’s fitness - plus a number of craft workshops; Bardsea residents for parties; the Parish Council for meetings; scout, school and university groups and wedding parties. . Contribution made by volunteers: As well as the countless hours put in by the trustees fulfilling their roles, in 2025 trustees and other members of the village have spent at least 446 hours gardening, painting, cleaning and preparing for and clearing up after events.

Achievements and performance

Main achievements of the charity during the year:
Awareness of the excellent venue Bardsea Malt Kiln provides has been raised by events the Committee has put on for the village, a greater use of the Bardsea Malt Kiln Facebook page and participation in Ulverston Charter Day. This has resulted in an increased number of hirings of the hall including ones for regular activity groups. The latter have provided more options in which Bardsea residents can participate.
The Committee organised a Sunflower Day in August at which prizes were awarded for winning entries in a sunflower growing competition and afternoon tea was enjoyed by many Bardsea residents. A concert provided through the Highlights rural touring scheme, ‘Bob Marley: How Reggae Changed the World’, was a sell out success in October and ‘Season’s Greetings’, an evening of Christmas songs and readings, in December was well attended. While the impetus for these events, along with a raffle where tickets were sold over two months, was the need to fundraise for renovations to the Malt Kiln, the events have brought Bardsea residents together and have been really appreciated by the village. Grants have been secured so that major renovations to the Malt Kiln can proceed next: year. | The Play Park has continued to be well used by village and visiting children and the twice monthly Bardsea Drop In mornings have continued to be popular with older residents.
Financial review Policy on reserves: A reserve of £25,000 is held in a savings account for large, unforeseen expenditures necessary to maintain Bardsea Malt Kiln. Sources of funds: Hire of the Malt Kiln is the principal source of funding for the everyday running and maintenance of Bardsea Malt Kiln. Grants, donations and fundraising events provide the source of funding for major renovations.
