LH&G Annual Report 2024-25 Classes, hail bookings and galleryexhibitions have been verywell supported duringthis year, although hiring charges have been slightly increased. Rate increases are belowthose asked for by other localvenues, in line with the LH&G charitable objectives Events targaretingadolescents and young adljlts have increased and been well attended and appreciated. The creation of an enclosed, temporary"smokinE area" adjacentto the hall has considerabley improved the management of these events A grant from Summerfield Trust enabled the upgrading of the Ilghting desk. Fund ralsing contlnues to be a priority for LH&G as there are insufficient reserves generated from hiringfees and other income sources to meet everything required to maintain the building and equipment. The redesign and re-introduction of the Friends Scheme is needed to help address this issue and other fundraising initiatives implemented and plans for this will be given priority in the coming year. The newwindows have been installed to replace those that had deteriorated through age and wearwhich completes the renovation project undertaken by Stroud Town Council. Discussions are taking place around how to fund Phase 4 ofthe renovation project which includes provlding step-tree access to the upper Hall. At present there are no funds available. There was a complaintfrom a local organisation claimingthe Trustees were not allowingthe showing of a contraverslal fllm at a public meeting in the hall. This was not upheld as the event was not able to be staffed as no trained individuals were willingto manage the event. However, consi(Jerable time and effort had to be allocated to respond to complainants. Finally, the Trustees wish to thankthe manager, Penny de Lotz, staff and volunteers for doing an excellentjob in creating an efficient, effective and friendly team, all highiyvalued bythe community.
