Principal Objective
The object of the charity is to provide a village hall for use of the inhabitants of Bishopswood and the surrounding neighborhood; for the use of meetings, lectures, classes and for other forms of recreation, with the aim of improving their quality of life. The governing document of the charity is a trust deed.
AGM reporting
Our financial period runs from August to August. This is therefore a report on 2020 – 2021
Obviously, the Hall was greatly impacted by Covid19 and the lockdown, but we were fortunate to qualify for the various government grants available at the time. We felt it prudent to retain the cleaner on her usual regime to prevent the decline of the premises - we also felt a moral obligation to a hardworking, loyal, and trustworthy self-employed individual. We reduced boiler settings and thermostat temperatures to minimise outgoings.
Fundraising & income from regular hirers dropped to nil during this time.
In July 2021 lockdown was lifted and as the hall had been kept in a good state of cleanliness, we were ready to welcome back our regular hirers who were encouraged to follow their own organisations guidelines. We had installed hand sanitisers in key areas and a sanitising station with the necessary supplies to sanitise any equipment before and/or after use. There were also taped 2-meter markings on all floors.
We have a small, but hard-working committee of Trustees without whom the hall would not function. But, as with a lot of charities a lot of work falls on the shoulders of these dedicated people. We should be making a concerted effort over the next 6 - 12 months to engage with the community, get them more involved with organising fundraisers, events and the maintenance and running of the hall - and recruit them onto the committee.
