KING GEORGE MEMORIAL HALL
2655 Stratford Road, Hockley Heath, Solihull, B94 5NH
Chair's Report 2024
Good evening and thank you all for attending this meeting.
The King George Memorial Hall is a registered charity with a proud and longstanding history. The
Hall was generously donated in 1952 by Mr. Higgs of Nuthurst, for the benefit of local residents
living within a two-mile radius. At the time of the gitl it was stipulated that the Hall must be
registered with the Charity Commission to ensure its use remained for the good of the community.
Today, the Hall is overseen by a group of Trustees who use the Hall themselves, alongside co-opted
Trustees who contribute their professional skills and knowledge to support the charity's work.
Part of the building remains in use under the charitable covenanL while another section is currently
leased to the Hockley Heath Social Club.
Reflections on 2024
I am very pleased to report that the Charity has enjoyed another strong and positive year. We have
now ful ly recovered from the difficulties faced in 2023 following the unsuccessful Icgal case
brought by the Social Club. The Trustees, together with our community supporters, have worked
hard to strengthen thc Hall's future, and this effort has been rewarded with a year of vibrant activity
and continued success.
The Hall continucs to be a valued community hub, welcoming a wide variety of groups, activities,
and events catering for all ages-from our youngest residents to those in their later years.
Community Events: Our programme of events has been extremely well received, with many
seIling out quickly. Highlights included bingo evenings, skittles nights, open days, afternoon
teas, police beat surgeries, and a number of tribute nights. We are committed to expanding
this programme even further in the coming year.
Private Hire and Charity Events= Bookings for private functions remain strong, with the
Hall also supporting the activitics of other charitable organisations. This provides both a
valuable service to the community and important income for the maintenancc of the building.
Social Club Responsibilities: Under the ternis of the lease and court rnlings, the Social Club
has continued to undertake necessary repairs. Thc Tru5tces rcmain cominiLled io ensuring all
essential maintenance is Complete￿ protecting this much-loved building for future
generations.
Seasonal Celebrations: Once again, the children's Christmas party was a highlight of the
year. Due to its popularity, two separdte parties were hel(L both of which were filled with
joy, laughter, and festive spirit. The Christmas Bazaar was equally successful, with Shirley
Brass Band delighting attendees and local groups contributing with a variety of stalls. Thank
you to the Trustees who help at this evcnt.

Looking Ahead to 2025
The year ahead promises to be both busy and exciting. Our primary focus will be on undertaking
much-needed repairs and upgrades to the Hall, including a new roof and an improved heating
system. These works are essential to ensure the Hall remains safe, welcoming, and fit for purpose
for the community.
We are also proud to announce that in 2024, the Hall was once again recognised at the Midlands
Enterprise Awards, winning the title of "Best Local Community Hall" for the second consecutive
year. This recognition is a testament to the dedication of the Trustees, volunteers, Hall manager, and
of course, the residents of Hockley Heath who continue to support and cherish the Hall. On behalf
of everyone involved, I extend heartfelt thanks to those who nominated us for this award-it is an
honour that means a great deal to our community.
Acknowledgements
I would like to close by expressing my sincere thanks to my fellow Trustees, to our Hall Manager,
and to the many volunteers who freely give their time and energy to ensure the Hall thrives. Finally,
I wish to that￿ th¢ residents of Hocklcy Heath and the wider community for your ongoing support.
Your continued use of the Hall ensures that Mr. Higgs's generous gift in 1952 continues to enrich
community life more than 70 years later.
