Section D Achievements and performance Most of the hirers of the hai have been able to resume their activities post covid but some are stfll struggling with fewer people attending for their activities. There is still understandably a reluctance for some people to attend activities wrth larger groups of people. In order for some groups to survrve we offered a temporary discount on hire charges. We try to achieve full usage of the premises in der to raise fvnds to maintain and improve the building. Some sessions must be kept free for cleanry and health and safety inspections. We are taking advantage of free advertising in the local press and social media to publicise the venue and attract more users. The new website has produced many enquiries. As a result of this we have received more bookirKJs for private parties and regular events. As the building is approx. 15 years + old more Money still needs to be spent to cover nonnal wear and tear. We have been able to meet these costs and make further improvements. Extra loft insulation has been installed and heating controls have been improEd which will help to reduce the heating costs during the winter months. We are actively exploring thè possibilty of grant funding to install solar panels. Although we have received planning consent for an extension it was decided to put this on hold as we thought we would be more likely to be successful with a grant application for solar panels alone.
