Scaynes Hill Millennium Village Centre
Chairman’s Report 2023
(Including Buildings Report)
I am pleased to report, on behalf of the trustees, on another very successful year for the village centre. The decision to use the grant money we received to support our regular hirers in returning worked well and almost all are flourishing.
The only major capital expenditure during the year has been to expand our battery storage system. This has resulted in significant saving on electricity costs, we use very little from the grid in the summer and store off peak power in the winter.
Consideration regarding the installation of heat pumps is on-going and we hope to reach a solution before too long. It is a balance between environmental consideration, constantly changing technology and the availability of funds.
We have not increased the hire rates and have no plans to do so at this time.
We already have many people who support the centre in many ways both regularly and occasionally. I thank you most sincerely on behalf of the centre – you know who you are!
It is hoped that the village will continue to be involved with the centre and we will use as many volunteers as possible to ensure the centre remains a valued asset in our community. If you can spare some time to support the centre in any way, please get in touch. If you have any skill that you could offer to the centre or know of anyone else who may be prepared to help, please let us know. (i.e., Builder, Window Cleaner, Tradesman, Lawyer, Roofer, Engineer etc.).
We have welcomed several new trustees to the trustee committee during the year and their support is much appreciated. I am very grateful to all those who have supported us.
