APPENDIX 1

Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period	We hope to refurbish Strathy Hall and are in discussion with an architect. He is creating drawings of a new floor plan layout for the hall in order to make the disabled toilets more accessible. We also hope to create a more modern kitchen. We have had a roof survey done to help decide if the roof will need repaired or replaced during the refurb. The committee continue to work with the architect in order to progress this project. We will also be working with an engineer to establish if we can have a suspended ceiling added to the main hall. We were successful in being granted money from the SSE Strathy North Community Fund to help with the initial costs of our refurbishment project. We were also awarded money from the same fund to purchase and install a Defibrillator at Strathy Hall which will be of benefit to the whole community. Our committee held some training sessions on how to use the machine which were attended by children and adults. This is something we would hope to do annually. Our hall continues to be used for sports clubs, music lessons, public concerts, bowling clubs, weddings, funerals and much more. It serves as an important part of our community and provided a central meeting place for community members.
