Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The Memorial Hall has achieved an enormous increase in use since its major refurbishment in 2009. The Hall is extremely well used by local groups and it is remarkable that this has been achieved by a dedicated group of Volunteer Trustees who meet monthly to review, discuss, and to keep everyone informed of progress as to the Hall’s use, finances, and maintenance. The Hall regularly posts articles in the bi/monthly Packington Post. (delivered free to every household) Through this work, the Trustees are enabling the enrichment of many lives by providing a space for social, educational and fitness/sporting groups to access a well organised, up to date and well maintained Packington Memorial Hall. |
| Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements |
where relevant about: | |
| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | Since refurbishment, which took place in 2009 the hall has increased its usage by at least four fold and has unfortunately had to turn away groups who cannot meet the limited time frames still available to hire the Hall. |
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The Memorial Hall has kept its hiring rates relatively stable over the last ten years. With increase in use and the introduction of a Licensed Bar, (where the Trustees are the Licence Holder and the Hall the sole beneficiary to any profits made) the Memorial is in a healthy state **financially. ** |
| Investment performance | Para 1.41 | We have invested in maintaining a good looking Community Hall. There is a continuous programme of re-decoration. |

| against objectives | The annual checks and maintenance of equipment and utilities are programmed into a maintenance diary. And we pay for a cleaning operative to thoroughly clean the whole Hall weekly. We also invest in telling users to leave the Hall as they find it. To assist in finding Memorial Hall User Groups we have an active and informative Web site managed by a volunteer. We also have many Hall users who have heard good reports from friends and relatives and have **subsequently used or hired the facilities. ** |
