Objectives and activities
The Unst Working Mens Society was set up to provide a village hall for
the use of the inhabitants of Baltasound and the surrounding environs.
The building is to be available for different types of use, including
meetings, lectures, classes and other forms of recreation and leisure
time recreation. The objects are to improve the conditions of life for
these people.
In order to achieve this the trustees keep the Baltasound Hall in good
condition and make it available to hire for local groups, individuals and
organisations with as little cost as possible.
Structure, governance and management

The Unst Working Mens Society is governed by a Deed of Trust.

The hall took on the Christmas Party for bairns with a visit from
Santa. The Hall applied for a grant from the Unst Community
Council to contribute to present buying for local children.
Brownies, Lunch Club, SWI, local Vet and Unst Under 5's all met
in the hall regularly. The hall was also hired for family parties
and meetings.
Local business Victoria's Vintage Tearooms hired the hall to
serve teas to tours.
The front of the hall was painted which covered up repairs to the
building and makes it look much better. We installed wifi and
purchased a Sumup card machine to enable customers to make card
payments.
