This document provides a comprehensive overview of the hall’s activities, achievements, financial performance, and future plans, reflecting our ongoing commitment to supporting the local community.
Objectives and Purpose
Llangunllo Community Hall serves as a vital hub for local residents and the wider community. The hall’s primary aim is to promote a strong sense of community by offering a welcoming space for a variety of social, educational, and recreational activities. We strive to ensure that our facilities are accessible and beneficial to all.
Key Achievements
-
Community Engagement: The hall continues to be a central venue for numerous local groups and activities. Regular users include the Women’s Institute (WI), a Pilates instructor, a dog trainer, table tennis clubs, and a singing group, demonstrating the broad appeal and versatility of the space.
-
Fundraising Success: A highlight this year was the Community Concert, which brought together participants and audience members for an enjoyable event. This major fundraiser generated £3,000, reinforcing the hall’s role in uniting the community.
-
Grant Funding and Improvements: We secured grant funding totalling £19,166. This essential support enabled us to replace our deteriorating stage and carry out necessary repairs to the external pointing and woodwork, ensuring the hall remains safe and attractive.

Donations: The hall received £2,024 in donations from a variety of local events, most notably The Llangunllo Show, a quad bike event, and the annual rounders match. These contributions highlight the generosity and involvement of our community.
Governance and Management
The management of the Village Hall is overseen by a dedicated team of Trustees, elected annually in accordance with the Trust Deed. The Trustees are responsible for ensuring the hall is run efficiently and adheres to all legal and regulatory obligations, safeguarding the interests of the community it serves.
Financial Overview
