Activities have been severely limited by the Coronavirus pandemic, which has resulted in activities at the Hall being restricted by government regulations. The main activities usually are meetings for all kinds of organisations, educa- tional, social and sporting, as well as theatre, other entertainments and chil- dren’s parties. The Hall is usually used for the Village Carnival and Village Horticultural Show, which were cancelled. |

Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its be- neficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Prior to the pandemic the Hall remained a popular social centre for the village hosting a vast range of activities and providing a warm, welcoming environ- ment for all visitors. Day and evening classes were available and we hosted numerous meetings of societies. Community activities that we hosted and sponsored included the So- cial lunches, which help combat loneli- ness in the area. When regulations al- lowed, children’s parties were regularly hosted. Many fitness groups used the hall and a football group met which en- couraged engagement of younger members of the community. The Committee were pleased with the broad range of activities the residents of the area were able to enjoy once regulations allowed. |

Para 1.22 | Where possible the Committee aims to keep a capital reserve in hand of about £10,000 to pay for major problems arising with the building, or a downturn in activity. The Covid 19 pandemic was still affect- ing the level of activity during this FY. The Hall has received generous gov- ernment grants from York City Council and furlough monies to assist with payment of the Caretaker’s salary. The funding received will be needed as we hopefully return to normal. |

Responsibilities and As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the basis of report accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or

-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
