The Chair’s Report for 2025-26 was accepted at the Annual General Meeting on September 25. The highlights of the year were:
- Official opening of The Wellhouse at our first Health & Wellbeing Fair; a very wide range of classes and therapies now on offer
- Our first BEECHFEST weekend with a barbecue, film night and Beatles tribute band
- Live music launch with three Gigs on the Green concerts
- 19 movies and National Theatre Live performances
- 67 active volunteers
- An estimated 16,000 visits by villagers and customers
The charity’s annual surplus was in line with our budget, with higher than anticipated expenditures offset by above-budget revenues.
