Management
The charity is managed day to day by the Management committee consisting.
All positions within the charity are on a voluntary basis and no expenses are paid.
The charity during 2020/21 had approximately 10 volunteers.
Achievements and performance
The coronavirus pandemic impacted on the charity’s operations for a number of weeks during 2020 and 2021; where we were forced to close.
The charity was fortunate for a period in late 2020 and early 2021 to be used for continued provision of childcare before and after school.
During the financial year; the hall benefited from the toilet refurbishment which has improved the hall greatly; the main hall floor has been renovated to ensure its continued use.
External work has taken place; with the replacement of fencing along the carpark for safety purposes and a programme of Japense Knotweed control has continued.
In addition the hall benefits from electronic extra wide doors a complete internal make over by way of repainting; skirting boards; the storage room also benefited from a new floor which was reused from old flooring removed at the bottom of the hall.
The hall lighting has also further been improved by way of additional LED lighting; there now remains only a few which require upgrading.
Financial
The charities income for the year was £59,376.19 which mainly derived from grants.
Our revenue from fees is lower than normal due to the pandemic.
The expenditure of the charity stands at £65,473.18 which is due to the toilet refurbishment and replacement doors.
Trustee Report
The charity have supported all hirers during the current pandemic, at the time of writing a number are still unable to return due to covid regulations.
The hall when fully utilised is at near capacity.
We have successfully been awarded 5* Food Hygiene rating for the Cafe we thank Trustee Sarah Liney for her work in this regard and ensuring all paperwork and standards are upheld.
Thanks once more to Martin and Sarah Liney who have without doubt gone over and above during these difficult times had it not been for them the Charity would be in an untenable position; Mr Liney has continued to carry out all maintenance at the ground and hall and without doubt the results are outstanding and have saved the charity thousands. Thanks must also be shown to Mr P Buckley who assisted with the flooring and the other volunteers who have assisted with litter picking etc.

We have created a orchard at the bottom of the ground this has been well received by the community and fruit trees have been purchased and planted along with benches in memory of lost loved ones; including a memory tree for John Blandy Jenkins who gifted the land in 1915 following his death and the Miners who put so much into the ground and hall.
The toilet refurbishment has been completed and again thanks to Sarah & Martin Liney for their work in this regard; the refurbishment didn’t go without hitches and thanks to all grant givers for their support.
We continue to obtain new Trustees and it is hoped during next year; further Trustees will come on board.
Despite many hurdles the charity has come a long way over the past couple of years; the future looks bright.
