Hillstown Miners Welfare Trust: Chair Annual report 2024-25 2024 marked the Centenary of Hillstown Miners Welfare. The Hillstown Miners Welfare Trust has experienced another producCve year, conCnuing its commitment to supporCng recreaCon and sports within the local community. ## **Financial Viability** increased, revenue generated from the new Garden Room met expectaCons and occupancy is good. However, increased energy expenses coupled with inadequate insulaCon in the Main Hall have posed notable challenges. ## **Main Hall** Main Hall into compliance with Government Net Zero standards. ANer thorough consideraCon, the trustees determined that retrofiOng the exisCng hall to meet these targets would not be financially feasible. The predominantly wooden structure was originally intended as a temporary soluCon and had an anCcipated lifespan of only four years. The Trust is presently exploring the viability of replacing the Hall and will soon engage with the local community to discuss the future viability. We have established a **Net Zero Fund** to support our commitment of a new hall. As of this fiscal year, the fund currently stands at £30,000 ## **Hire Costs** profit organisaCons and chariCes conCnue to benefit from discounted rates. ## **Occupancy Rates** Data from the booking website indicates an increase in bookings by local clubs and groups, parCally aUributable to the closure of two comparable venues in the area. Currently, 45 local clubs and groups uClise the Village Hall each month, with 12 hosCng weekly events. ## **Volunteers** We extend our sincere graCtude to all volunteers who have contributed to the operaCon of the hall and warmly welcome addiConal support.
