Village Trustees are Elected at the Annual General Meeting usually held in /September of each year : each Trustee serves for one year and can stand for re-election at the AGM. The Trustees form the Management Committee of the Village Hall which has the power to co-opt further Trustees on an annual basis to fill vacancies.

Health and Safety Policy
Childrens Safeguarding Policy
Young Persons and Vulnerable Adults Safeguarding Policy
Equal Opportunities Policy
Data Safeguard Policy

Hiring Agreement
The use of the Village Hall by non-regular groups is now strictly subject to a formal Hiring agreement which must be signed by the hirer at the time of booking
Contact details of all regular user groups are now held by the Bookings Officer and kept private and secure in a locked cabinet.
Insurance
The Hall is insured with respect to property damage (building insurance) by Allied Westminster Insurance. The Management recognises that it is under a legal obligation to protect the building, its employees and users through adequate and appropriate insurance and in this respect both Public Liability and Employee Insurance is also provided by Allied Westminster Insurance.
Building and land issues
All gas appliances and all portable electrical appliances kept in the hall are tested by a qualified engineer annually or three yearly as required (this also includes any electrical equipment stored in the hall by the various regular user groups)
The mains electrical installation is checked by a qualified engineer every 5 years and a Fire risk assessment is reviewed and a full Fire Safety Check is carried out by the company Right Action annually and all extinguishers and other equipment is checked and signed.
Water safety checks are carried out every week by North Lincolnshire Council personnel and a check list is signed and dated every week.
Other safety and maintenance checks are carried out on a regular basis by the Caretaker
Objectives
The objective of the Trust is to establish and run a Village Hall, to promote it for the benefit of the residents of the parish of Broughton and its surrounding neighbourhood without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions, the provision of facilities for meetings, lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure time and occupation with the object of improving the conditions of the life of the said residents.
Funding Strategy
It is the hope of the Trustees to manage the revenue budget on a selffinancing basis and the contributions made by the users of the hall are set to try to achieve this along with an annual grant from the Custodian Trustee (Broughton Town Council) the sources of income include hiring fees from users of the hall, and money raised from various fund raising activities e.g. Bingo events, Coffee mornings and any other donations which may have been given during the year.
It has been another difficult year to achieve this due to the ongoing high cost of gas and other general expenses but we have managed to keep the hall on an even keel.
We have been able to secure the expert services of Turner Warren Accountants who are now assisting with PAYE and our Annual Returns and with the submission of this report hopefully all financial matters are now up to date.
2023/2024 Achievements
Due to the restricted financial climate and general increase in outgoings for the year the Hall has not been able to realise everything that was planned but we were able to secure a grant from Egdon Resources Community Fund via BCSA to enable us to upgrade the heating system in the main hall and everyone is extremely pleased with the outcome.
Various items of equipment have been purchased over the year including the replacement of one of the water boilers in the main kitchen.
Community Involvement and Support
The Hall continues to be a key asset for the local community and the Trustees Management Committee work hard to ensure that it is kept available for the local people to hire and use while also taking advantage of additional hire income from people and organisations from outside the parish, but while we have been forces to increase our hire rates within the past year our charges are still very competitive and we are still attracting interest from other groups hoping to be able to become regular users and private one off hirings are on the increase.
The Trustees Management Committee give their time and effort free of charge and are grateful to all who support the Hall in terms of hiring, attending events, running events and sessions, and to the additional donations however small that we have received over the year.
Our sincere thanks go to Broughton Town Council for our annual grant and special thanks must go to our Caretaker who goes over and above her contracted hours to make sure the Hall is running smoothly and effectively.
Declaration
The Trustees Management Committee declare that they have approved the above report and the accounts available to go with this declaration.
