## **Section C                    Objectives and activities** 

Operation of Lunesdale Hall, Kirkby Lonsdale (previously known as the Kirkby Lonsdale Institute) , a public use building for the use of **Summary of the objects of the** the residents and visitors to the town. **charity set out in its governing document** 

The AGM in 2019 formally adopted the new Constitution and Management Committee for the Hall, the latter comprising all Town Councillors, four Community representatives, two users of the Hall and representatives of St Mary’s PCC, the Community Interest Company (CIC) and the Chamber of Trade. In the year up to March 2020 the Committee concentrated on internal and external improvements to the Hall. Internal improvements included: new stage curtains and track; the main Hall and Bective Room were painted and all curtains replaced; the sound system in the Hall was replaced; and new lighting was provided in the main Hall. Externally major improvements to the Hall roof were carried out, together with roof repairs to 1 Bective Road (the adjoining property owned by the Hall).. **Summary of the main** Marketing of the Hall was identified as a priority and some work was **activities undertaken for the** initiated via the CIC and a Facebook page set up, but the momentum for **public benefit in relation to** this was lost due to Covid. Additional funding was sought - the Town **these objects (include within** Council, the Civic Society and the Christopher Robins Trust, all provided **this section the statutory** additional funding. **declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance** Much of 2020 and the early part of 2021 were affected by Covid **issued by the Charity** lockdowns and during this period the Hall cleaner looked after the **Commission on public** building and put in place the measures required for re-opening. Revised **benefit)** Terms and Conditions required during the pandemic were put in place measures were put in place to ensure the Hall received all the grants that were available, totalling circa £29,000. In the period that the Hall was able to re-open during 2020  only a few of the regular bookings chose to use the Hall, for understandable reasons. The Covid measures that were put in place provided as much protection as possible for users. Unfortunately, the Town’s Christmas Fair and the Fair in the Hall had to be cancelled, but Christmas lights were still displayed on the Hall. Even during this period improvements were made to the Hall including, installation of a hot water heater in the kitchen, maintenance of the heating system and  new Hall doors.
