It has been a year now since we first began running the coffee mornings and so it was time for some reflection.
Whilst the proceeds have allowed us to purchase weekly supplies, cover hall hire, electric costs and also invest in longer-term bigger items to improve the quality of our service, we have also been able to support some smaller community projects.
After some thought and discussion, we have decided that in the interests of transparency, any funds not already allocated to community projects, will be held in Cattistock Community Fund.
This is under the proviso that the Hub funds are ringfenced within the CCF, with the Hub volunteers being able to have complete autonomy on how our funds are used.
The CCF accounts are always available to view on request. The CCF will act as a trustee for our funds which, along with other community funds, will be used for specific community projects that the hub volunteers believe will benefit the village.
