Purpose: This report presents an application for funding under the Council’s Community Funding Programme.?   An application to the Community Fund has been received from Titchfield Village Trust for £3,485 towards the replacement of the emergency exit doors and toilet doors at Titchfield Village Hall.   Titchfield Village Trust have just completed a 5-year project to re-roof and refurbish the interior of the Titchfield Village Hall. One of the last remaining parts of this project is the replacement of the fire exit doors and doors to the toilets. These doors are failing resulting in users having difficulty entering and exiting the toilets. The emergency exit doors are not very secure due to past water damage and previous damage which has been repaired as much as possible. A number of groups use the community building, including stitching and crafts groups aimed at over 65s, brownie groups and home school groups for primary school aged children.   The total cost of the project is £3,885. Titchfield Village Trust are looking for £3,485 from the Community Fund, with the remainder being funded by Titchfield Village Trust reserves.   As of 5 November 2024, Titchfield Village Trust held £1,344.82 in their accounts. In the accounting year April 2022-April 2023, there was an income of £94,410.10 and expenditure of £26,024.72.   Both Councillor Miss Harper and Councillor Mrs Hockley supports Titchfield Village Trust’s application.
