Hilton Hall Community Association is a Company Limited by Guarantee without Share Capital, registered in England; Company No. 6838077.  HHCA was set up by the Senior Coaches of Wolverhampton Youth Judo Centre with the sole aim of 'Saving Hilton Hall' from permanent closure and to secure its place in the community for future generations to enjoy.  As Hilton Hall has been our 'Judo Home' since 1976 we did not want to see this fabulous building that has always been so popular and well used over the years to be demolished and gone forever, hence our RESCUE PLAN was 'Launched' to 'Save' Hilton Hall of Lanesfield.

 

We operate as a not-for-profit community based social enterprise as a Community Association with 'Charitable aims, working to provide services and facilities for community use (much as before the Hall closed in October 2008) for the benefit of local community groups and sports clubs to provide opportunities for the social, educational, and recreational needs and wellbeing of local people.  This is reflected in Article 3 of our Constitution (below).

 

Article 3.1 of our Memorandum of Association states our Objects as:

". . . to further or benefit the residents of Lanesfield and the neighbourhood without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organizations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for sport recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents . . . "

 

We are totally self funded and self-sufficient with All of the revenue generated from the hire of Hilton Hall & facilities going directly back into Hilton Hall Community Association to pay for the upkeep, overheads, management, repairs and cleaning needed to keep Hilton Hall open and operational.  We are Not Funded by the Government or Local Authority, therefore; Hilton Hall is NOT a financial burden to Tax Payers as ALL Funding and Income comes into Hilton Hall is generated by the Hilton Hall Community Association Directors / Management Team and Volunteers.  Please Note: The Directors of HHCA are ALL unpaid Volunteers - taking no payment as Directors and no Dividends as Directors as this Limited Company is without Share Capital.

 

A bi-product of our actions (i.e. Saving Hilton Hall from closure and Repairing & Refurbishing Hilton Hall as unpaid Volunteers) has provided an excellent working example of what the UK Government referred to as the 'Big Society' (although we did 'this' well before the Government 'Coined' the phrase "The Big Society").   In the first year alone the three unpaid Directors put in an amazing 10,000 Hours of Volunteered work in 'Refurbishing & Repairing' Hilton Hall.  And again, in the second year the three unpaid Directors put in a further 10,000 Hours of Volunteered work in order to get Hilton Hall 'Open' once more.

 

How we went about 'Saving Hilton Hall from permanent closure:  First of all we organised and led several community consultation meetings to discuss the future of Hilton Hall (from July 2008 to early 2009).  The Senior Coaches of WYJC & the Manager of a local sports club attended a series of City of Wolverhampton Council meetings to negotiate the terms of a service level agreement (our Lease).  We finally came to an agreement with the Property Management Team, helped along by our local Ward Councilors to take on a long-term repairing lease.

 

Immediately upon receiving our Signed Lease (received 4th June 2009) our Team of Volunteers set about the first repair job promptly on the morning of 4th June 2009 at Hilton Hall (see the photographs page to see the work completed since 2009).  We put forward a 'Five Year Business & Works Schedule Plan' and outlined what work we expected would be completed within this five-year period.  The jobs we couldn't manage (electrical and gas installations) was completed by Sponsors and Suppliers who provided their expertise, materials and labour to help us achieve our goal.  We also actively sourced external 'Funding' to pay for larger items and projects that we couldn't manage ourselves.

 

You can read below (in each of the Annual Chairman's Reports) the range and extent of the work completed and how involved and committed the Directors and Project Management Team have worked tirelessly since June 2009 (as unpaid volunteers renovating and repairing Hilton Hall), helped and encouragement along the way by friends, family and various volunteers.  As already stated above, all funds raised from Lettings, Hall Hire Charges, Donations and Grants go directly back-into Hilton Hall Community Association to pay for the upkeep, overheads, repairs and all outgoing expenses and materials needed to keep Hilton Hall open.

 

The aim of this web site:  is to provide a vehicle to promote and raise public awareness of all issues relating to Hilton Hall Community Centre and Hilton Hall Playing Fields.  But also, to express our gratitude and publicly "Thank" our Funders, Sponsors, Suppliers & Volunteers for Their Efforts and Worth and to show / illustrate how their involvement and sponsorship has contributed the the overall success of this MASSIVE Community Project.

 

This web site also offers a contact point and web-interface with the local community and for the benefit of all of the above mentioned clients, patrons, sponsors, supporters, volunteers and funding agents, together with all other interested parties.  We hope that you find our web site informative and user friendly and we invite and welcome your feedback . . . (good or bad) and so, with this in mind; please feel free to view the individual pages via the above Menu Links and please do not hesitate to get in touch with us via our 'Contact Us' page (above menu).

 

This 'timeline' and the enormous amount of work & effort is reflected in the annual reports listed below (and can be seen in the Photos Link above) - to show how much time and varied activities has been recorded during the first nine years of our existence as a Community Association.

 

The 'Links' below represent the Chairman's Annual General Report for each year listed; as presented to Companies House at the end of each 'Trading Year'.  Each of these Annual Reports cover the trading period between the beginning of April to the end of March the following year.  These Annual Reports (below) form the basis of a continuous TIMELINE showing our progress, trials and tribulations from the very beginning, right up to the most recent Annual Report.  These reports offer an excellent opportunity to 'Officially' Thank our Sponsors for all of their generosity and for their kind donations & grant aid.  And to Thank all of our Helpers and Volunteers for their contribution and hard work in helping us achieve our Aims & Objectives in Saving Hilton Hall.

Well Folks, It is now 2024 but unfortunately 'Covid' or rather one (or several) of its many variant Viruses is still with us and keeps cropping-up from time to time so we are still being as cautious as ever.

 

Following on from the last couple of years, we are still trying to be as diligent as before regarding viral precautions & hygiene, so, if you or your child / children (or close family and/or friends) have any Covid, and/or any other Viral symptoms, flu like symptoms, bad coughs, etc, or have been in contact with anyone who has been tested positive for Covid or any other potentially infectious conditions please do not attend classes until the required isolation period is completed, or until you have been given the go ahead by your Doctor or medical practitioner.

 

By now, everyone in the UK should be very familiar with the symptoms associated with these type of viral infections.  Sadly, I think this is now the 'Norm' for us all, so, if in doubt, please go to the Gov.org.uk web site for the very latest information and guidance.
