IhR..Qrganisation
Malpas Victoria Jubilee Hall dates back to 1890 and is a village hall in the centre of
Malpas, Cheshire. The object of the charity is the provision, upkeep and maintenance
of the hall for the benefit of the people of Malpas and the surrounding area. The hall is
popular place for coffee mornings, charity functions, children's birthday parties,
meetings, exercise classes, clubs and societies.
The hall is extremely well used
and our fundraising events are well attended. The committee arrange two or three
fundraising events each year. The hall has four meeting rooms and a large function
room which are hired out to members of the public, many of which are regular hirers.
The Management Committee meet once a month to discuss the maintenance and
upkeep of the hall, fundraising events, finances and any other matters arising. The hall
is dependent upon rooms being hired plus fundraising and donations.
The Trustees
David George Philip (Seventh) Marquess of Cholmondeley
Arthur David Bentley Brooks

Claire Alison Greenall, Lady Daresbury
To note- the list of Trustees was regularised in September 2024 to remove persons
who may have been acting in a management capacity and to conform more properly
to guidance.
Financial Review
The principal income sources for the hall are hiring charges, fundraising, grants and
donations. It needs to be noted that in the previous year accounts submission the amount
actually held in the saving account (£19,134) was included in error as investment income.
Investment income was shown under 'other' as £33.00 however.

movement to online hire conditions and better publication of Health & Safety matters
has moved on at pace. Public feedback on the need for upgrading facilities and
