Harrtston Village Hall CIO Chainnan's Report Year.. 2023 - 2024 It has been another challenging year for Harriston Village Hall CIO. The continued rise in operating costs, alongside the ongoing cost of living crisis, has placed increasing psSUre on the Hall's finances and its ability to maintain regular activities and services for the communty. Throughout the year we have seen significant increases in utility bills, maintenance costs and general running expenses. Like many community organisations, we have had to work hard to balan these rising costs while keeping the Hall acssible and affordable for local groups and residents. At times it has been a real struggle to keep everything wnning smoothty, and the committee has had to carefulty manage resources and make difficult decisions. Another challenge this year has been the reduction in voluntsers. Village halls rely heavily on the goodwill and time of local people, and unfortunately we have seen fewer volunteers able to commit their time. This has inevitably meant that we have been able to organise fewer events than in previous years. lIe this is disappointing, we remain extremely grateful to the small group of dedicated volunteers who continue to support the Hall and give their time to keep activities going. Despite these challenges, there have been some real highlights over the past year which demonstrate the importance of the Hall to our community. Our Halloyn Event was once again a great success, bringing together families and children for an evening of fun and communty spirit. The Santa Visit at Christmas proved particularly popular, with many local children enjoying the opportunty to meet Santa and celebrate the festive season at the Hall. These events remind us how valuable the Hall is as a place for the communty to come together. In addition, our Prize Bingo evenings have continued to attract strong support. These events not only provide entertainment for residents but also raise valuable funds which help support the ongoing funning costs of the Hall. Looking ahead. the future sustsinability of the Hall will depend heavily on continued community Support. We would warmly welcome any new volunteers who may be able to offer their time, ideas or assistance, whether regularly or occasionally. Even small contributions can make a significant differen. On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank everyone who has supported Harriston Village Hall over the past year- our volunteers, event organisers, local residents, and all those who attend our events. Your support helps ensure that the Hall remains an important part of village life. We hope that the corning year will bring renewed opporiunrties to strengthen community involvement and continue buikying on the positive events we have been able to deliver.
