Summary ofthe main achievemerds ofthe charity during the year	Summary ofthe main achievemerds ofthe charity during the year	The main achievements ofthe year were the survival, re-opening and further improvement ofthe Village Hall during an unprecedented pandemic.
		Throughout the period ofcovid resbicMns, we stayed on top ofall routine
		maintenance and safety matters, and as groups started to return to the
		Hall, the deaner and hall manager continued athorough cleaning regime
		to ensure that it remained covid-secure and was asafe place for their
		activities. The mtum to full use was a stow process, which was aided by
		the incentive ofa 50percent reduction in hire charges, but by the end of
		the year most hall users had returned to something close to their normal
		usage.
		Despite the restrictions, we continued our programme ofimprovements	to
		the fabric ofthe Hall. lhasa included the installation ofa sound system
		and hearing loop, the replacement ofthe side curtains in the main hall,
		and the creation ofa ramp at the rear Rre exit Ws also embarked upon	a
		new five-year pkiin, to help us to continue the process ofidentifying and
		commissioning further improvements.
Mef statement ofthe		The pandemic emphasised the Hall's vulnerability to uninsurable events and the difficulty ofsecuring the return ofregular hirers following their
charfty's	policy on reserves	forced and prolonged absence. VIth no guarantee offurther government support in the event ofafurther forced closure, the Trustees consider it
		prudent to maintain reserves equivahnt to 12months ofpre-lockdown
		(current) expenditum (221,000). Our current commitment to fund
		improvements tothe Hall, and ongoing maintenance requirements, have
		necessitated the holding ofsigniTicantly more than this amount at
		resent.
