This resulted in a partnership with a local Charity called Citrus Arts with a view that the Hall's responsibilities and asset would transfer to Citrus Arts lo ensure the hall's future. A Pre-Planned maintenance report had been conducted in 2019 as well as a structural report in 2020 that outlined the costs for repaSr8 and modemising.

This is 8n important part of the wellbeing of our communty to be able to provide this Space for them. We were fortunate to be able to cover the costs of keeping the buikling open. If the building had been dormant for too long Yle would have seen an acceleration of the damage to the building that may have made it hard to come back from.
