Following lock down for Covid, Wark Town Hall (the Hall) continued to host events throughout the year, including, Toddler group, Coffee mornings, Indoor Bowls, Music Events, Quiz and much more. There has also been an increase in private bookings of the Hall facilities which augments the income needed to maintain the running of the Hall.
In addition, the Trustees held events raising funds for other charitable organisations, including Macmillan Nurses and The Great North Air Ambulance.
We celebrated the Queens Platinum Jubilee on the Green with a shared tea which many villagers attended. Warm Hub . Thanks to all the volunteers and committee members who helped to open the Hall from November 2022 to March 2023, up to three days a week. We received monetary support from Trusts, Business and Local individuals to support us in this endeavour.
We were pleased to welcome 3 new Trustees to the Committee and thanked 2 long standing members who retired.
There are many events and activities planned for 2023/24 including new additions to our current programme.
Grant applications will continue specifically to support our planned 2 year maintenance programme, to ensure that our Grade 11 listed building remains in good condition for future generations.
