Section C Objectives and activities

A public use building for the use of the residents and visitors to the Town.

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

The public benefit of the Hall was increased when the decision was taken to offer community lunches in 2021, this continued throughout 2022, through a local organisation, the Community Cupboard. These have proved extremely popular.

The problem highlighted by the community lunches led the Committee to review the kitchen facilities and a comprehensive plan was developed in 2021 (to be implemented in late 2022/2023) to provide a semi commercial kitchen.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The key priorities for 2022 were to increase the income of the hall against rising expenditure mainly due to energy cost increases, reduced usage and required maintenance.

The financial status of the Hall is of concern to all members and financial reports provided have guided the committee to be cautious of additional spends. Committee members are committed to reaching and maintaining a healthy financial status for the hall.

During the year the committee has investigated internet banking to improve timely reporting, financial management and control, we await final approval from the Nat West Bank, but we should be up and running very soon. All income streams have been reviewed to ensure we are positioning ourselves correctly in the marketplace.

The Commercial kitchen has been a success and we hope to expand the usage and hire of the facility to maximise income and provide a healthy return on investment. The hire costs of the facility are under review and will be closely monitored to ensure the pricing structure is profitable whilst remaining value for money to increase interest and usage.

We have been particularly keen to investigating methods of improving the Halls Energy Efficiency Rating and continue to pursue quotations that will in the long term, reduce the running costs of the hall hopefully we will seek and achieve external grant funding to achieve our desired outcome.

We are also looking into a scheme to make the Hall frontage more user friendly, particularly when we are hosting summer weddings and concerts. It is hoped that this may be supported by local trades and crafts as the Hall funds will not stretch to financing it at this point.

As a proactive management committee, we continue to provide ideas for fundraising for the hall and to increase usage during quieter periods and all ideas will be reviewed.
