Harriston Village Hall CIO Chaimian's Report Year.. 2024- 2025 This report will echo last years, this is rnain due to the extemal environment being the PJame around costs etc. It has been another challenging year for Harri8ton Village Hall CIO. The continued rise in operating costs, alongside the ongoing cost of living crisis, has placed increasing pressure on the Hall's finaneAs and its ability to maintsin regular activities and services for the community. This year we have seen signfficant increases in utilty bills, maintenance costs and general running expenses, which in tum means our Finances are taking a constant hit. We continue to work extremely hard to offset and balance these rising costs while keeping the Hall assIble and affordable for local groups and residents. Another challenge this year has been the reduction in volunteers. We rely heavily on the goodwill and time of local people and fully understand the balance betbveen family life and the Village Hall, 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. IPJhile this is disappointing and despite these challenges, there have been some real hyhlights over the past year which demonstrate the importance of the Hall to our community. Our Halloween Event was On again a great success, bringing together families and children for an evening of fun and community spirffi. The Santa Visit at Christmas proved particularly popular, with many local children enjoying the opportunity to rrttt Santa and celebrate the festive season at the Hall. These events remind us how valuable the Hall is as a Pla for the communty to come logether. In addition, our Prize Bingo aftemoon continued to attract strong support. These events not only provide entertainment for residents but also raise valuable funds which help support the ongoing running costs of the Hall. We would wamily welcome any new volunteers who may be ab to offer their time, ideas or assistance. vthether regularly or ocGa8ionally. Even small contributions Can make a significant difference. The year of 2026 year will be our 10th Year of operating has a Charity and we h¢)pe to make rt a special one. we have some ideas I plans, we also need to look at decorating the Village Hall also, there is issues around damp etc that we need to combat. 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, loca residents, and all those who attend our events. Your support helps ensure Ihal the Hall remains an important part of village lrfe. We hope that the coming year will bring renewed opportunities to strengthen comrnunity involvement and continue building on the positive events we have bean able to deliver. Ensuring the Village Hall remains at the heart of our communlty. Henry Barker Chaimian Harriston Village Hall CIO
