Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Since the AGM in May 2023, the Trustees have been very busy.
The hall continues to be a much-loved and well-used facility with groups using it every weekday. It is also used for regular cinema showings.
Despite immense obstacles, the Trustees have managed to find the funds required to repair the bell-cote on the roof, which has deteriorated badly and is leaking. Some £28,000 has been raised towards the cost.
The Trustees have established a boxing club for youngsters, teenagers and adults.
The Trustees have established a reputation for well-run events, including a Bavarian evening, a Military Wives Choir concert, a folk-evening, and a barn dance. These have all raised funds towards maintenance and improvement of the hall.
The Trustees acknowledge grants from the Woodward Education Trust, the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Town Council.
Flicks in the Sticks continues to be a popular monthly event. A festival of great British cinema dames in February was a great success.

Section E Financial review ~~ee~~
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
The Trustees have no current policy on reserves other than to retain an amount of £10,000 or so towards repair and renovation of the two rental properties.
Details of any funds materially in deficit
There is no deficit.
Further financial review details (Optional information)
You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:
-
the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
-
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
The principal source of funds is rental of the hall as used by groups, but has been augmented by fund-raising activities which are planned to increase in the following financial year.
Maintenance of the hall is expensive and the Trust does not currently meet the costs of maintenance out of the proceeds of rental of the hall itself. Expenditure is essential though in order to provide a safe warm space for community use. The nearest alternative facilities are some 12-15 miles away: public transport services are very limited and the age profile of the community includes a large number of elderly.
- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
