We hire the Hall at a slightly subsidised rate to try and ensure all
individuals and local organisations who wish to use it are not prevented
from doing so solely on the basis of cost. We meet monthly to ensure the
Hall continues to operate safely and effectively in a financially prudent
manner. We carry out both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance
through the year. as required. to ensure the fabric of the building and its
associated car park and playing field remain fit for purpose.

had regard to the guidance

Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
This year was very unusual in that for about half of the year we took the
Hall out of normal operation because we had raised a significant sum
(circa £190.000) via grants to allow very significant external (new roofj
and internal hall refurbishment. wrthout this the Hall would have become
inoperable during the year and the deteriorating roof would have posed a
danger to the surrounding areas. For the remainder of the year we
continued to successfully operate the Hall to meet the aims of our
constitution.

Brief ststement of the

Details of any funds materially

We have no funds in deficit.
Further financial review details (Optional information)
In a normal year Hall hire will provide about 90 % of the operating cost.
When we are carying out refurbishment then grants may form a more
significant part, as was the case in 24125
