As ever, our building has presented ongoing challenges. We continue lo develop plans and seek funding to address these Issues, and while progress can be slow. our determination remains unwavering.
This year. we submitted an application to the Community Ownership Fund. While this particular bid was unfortunately unsuccessful, we did see some welcome success with the Shared Prosperity Fund - a Govemmenl initiative administered by North Yorkshire Council. This. together with generous support from Glusburn and Crosshi115 Parish Council, enabled us lo undertake a major refurbishment of the Auditorium balcony.

The caretaking team have once again pulled logother lo manage what is often a seven day a week operation. with flexibility and professionalism. Meanwhile, our centre management team has worked hard to attract new hirers, nurture existing relationships, and develop our programming of shows and aclivilies. Their efforts are paying dividends. Our events programme has gone from strength to strength. We are now proudly offering a line-up that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with other regional arts venues. The calibre of talent we've welcomed- including some recognisable celebrity names- speaks volumes about how far we've come. As an Arts Cenlre, we have taken a major slep forward, and it is something we should all be incredibly proud of. None of this would be possible wilhoul our fantastic team of volunteers. They are the beating heart of our events, supporting front-of-house operations, checking tickets. and running the bar. Their dedication, time. and good spirit make such a difference, and we are immensely grateful for everything they do. I would also like to extend heartfelt thanks to our dedicated trustees. Their lime, care. and commitment often go unseen. but their role in overseeing our direction, safeguarding our values, and supporting our staff is invaluable. Their contributions ensure that we remain true to our purpose while continuing to grow and thrive. Finally, I musl take a moment lo pay tribute to our outgoing Treasurer, Bernard. In his lime as treasurer. he has been the steady hand on the financial tiller.
