## **Aighton, Bailey and Chaigley Memorial Hall** ## **Trustee’s Annual Report for year ending Jan 31[st] 2021** The prolonged period of lockdown last year has had a major impact on our ability to use the hall and raise the income needed to maintain and improve it, but thanks mainly to the RVBC grant of £10,000, we have been able to carry out several improvements to the hall and still end the year with a balance of approximately £3,000 more than last year. The roof has been re-tiled and fully insulated, and the supporting beams replaced as necessary. This was funded by a major grant from Lancashire Environmental Fund. The next project was to start the ground source heating using the Bailey Field behind the hall but the pandemic has postponed its completion until Spring 2021. The hall floor has had intensive work on cleaning and polishing and we have cleared out redundant furniture. Local community fundraising for all these projects has continued whenever possible, with events such as our popular Sunday night Bingo games, donations from the Turkey Trot race for which we provide marshals, and the ‘Friends of the Memorial Hall’ scheme which continues to provide an extra income stream. In general the community have continued to support us financially despite the pandemic. When allowed to open, we have followed Government guidelines and ensured the safety and well-being of our users. It has been stop-start for much of the year, and difficult at times to believe that a return to ‘business as usual’ was going to be possible any time soon. However, we have worked within the constraints and ensured that we are as ready as any for when the hall reopens as a community facility and a venue for local gatherings once more.
