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