The construction of the Hall was funded partly through grants totalling £540,065 from the Reaching
CommunltieslPartnerships programme of the National Lottery Community Fund. This was potentially
repayable until the Hall was completed and in use. As this is no longer the case, the value of the grant.
which was previously set against the cost of the building has been reclassified as restricted fund
income in accordance with the terms of the National Lottery programme.
