Annual Report 2021
2021 was a momentous year for the Hall and the community it serves as, after several years of hard work by the Trustees following feedback and consultation with users and residents, in August, the Hall was awarded a large grant from the Welsh Government Community Facilities Programme. There was still some work to do however, before the grant could be released, and work on a much needed development programme finally got underway in December. The grant has to be spent by the end of March and the trustees are looking forward to opening up the hall again as early as possible come April or May. These grant applications though need to demonstrate support from the community, and the project to create more space and develop areas at the Hall that can be used in new and different ways, showed great support from residents and regular users of the Hall. Not only did people forward their thoughts and opinions, they also raised an additional sum of over a £1K in a Crowdfunding appeal in a matter of months. This money alongside the money that the Trustees were able to set aside themselves, as well as donations from the Community Council, all showed that the community was right behind this development.
Next year, should therefore see a new and improved Hall in place, with an additional meeting room and a ‘community hub’ space, called the CHaT Room. _(The CHaT Room is derived from_ C ommunity H ub a nd T y Cyfarfod – which is Welsh for the meeting room or meeting place.) . This last year, of course has seen another year where COVID19 has disrupted many lives and families and often, with some tragic consequences. Village Halls and similar establishments of course were often closed through ‘lock down’ periods. With building work on-going too, the Hall has had to closed for another extended period, so the community as a whole will be pretty desperate to see the new Hall reopen so that old activities and a number of new ones too can offer some support in the months and years ahead.
However, the Hall, despite the disruption, has had quite a bit of usage across the year, during the seven months (May to November) it has been able to welcome users.
This usage can be summarised as follows:
| This usage can be summarised as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Total number of groups using the Hall: | 66 | Monthly Average: 9.4 |
| Total Number of Hours the Hall was in use: | 508 | Monthly Average: 72.6 |
| Total Number of individual users*: | 1495 | Monthly Average: 213.5 |
- ‘Footfall’ figures for users do not include people who attended: sales events [x7]; private parties and weddings [x5]; charity events [x2] and those that used or visited the Hall on Election Day [x1].
Finances (reported separately) have been managed prudently but will appear to be slightly skewed, due to the influx of grant monies. The overall picture however, is one where finances are looking to be in good shape. The Trustees do need to offer a word of caution though, as whilst the overall situation looks very promising, building costs and materials have risen sharply during the pandemic period, so there might still be some work to do to complete the project as a whole, even when the current grant monies have been fully utilised. Generally speaking though, it is a very exciting time for the Hall and the community it serves and the future looks positive indeed.
