APPENDIX 1
Achievements and performance
Summary of th• maln a¢hlev•ments of The Mill has had a good season. VSsllor nLtmbers are recorded 8$ 10982
thg charlty durlng the flnan¢ial pgrlod which is slightly lower than lasl year. The year has b9en relatively
challenglng with two key trustees Struggling lo commit the necessary lime
lo tho Moll due lo health Issues and family commllmenls away from
Gatehouse.
However we have been fortunate lo be ablè lo r9Gruil rigw trusloes to Ihg
Board during the season which is helping greatly with the administration
of Th8 Mill and includes useful new skills. This is important as the Board
is Gurrenlly in nggoliations with Dumlries and Galloway Council, the
landlord. to agrae a n9w lease for the Mill as the current lease finishes in
2025. Discussions are ongoing but the Council have indicated their
prelerence to r8n8w with the cuirenl Mill on the Fleet SCIO 5ubi8ct to
agreeing the lease details and passlng the necessary Council
corNmitte8s. The new lease will allow the Mill lo pursu9 oapital fundirvJ to
enable a full refurbishment ol the building- the first since il opened in
1991 which will include bringing the buildino up lo modern energy
standard8 and allowing it lo open year round. The reluTbishm8nt. if
funding can be obtained, would also reluibish or replace the lift and
upgrade other aspects of the Inlrastruoture of th& building, and would
allow lor significant upgTades to the exhibition lacililies.
Staffing difficulties have put increased pressure on the oafé this yfrar and
it has struggled al limes lo oifer more than a tearoom 8ervlce. FollowiNJ
advice from OSCR regarding th8 cafe and our charitabl8 trading it was
decided to close the calé al the and of the season and no longer run il as
an in-house cafg. Applicalions were invited for exlomal opgralors to lake
over the delivery of a café and following inleryiews with prospective
operators, the Mill has selected a team based in Gatehouse who will
open a new Gafé as a Gommunity interest company with the aim ol
working very closely wilh the Mill in support of the Mill events
programmo.
Thg Mill also hosted a rangè of tvenls in both Faèd Gallèry and Rivgf
Room . concerts. talks, workshops alc arKI w8 w818 onc8 again th8
primary Yenue lor Ihg 8igLit fgslival.
The two tenant businesses - the PAArtist5 CollectÉve and the Bookshop
have l)olh had good seasons and they wntinue lo run smoothly.
In the ground8 the various groups- Man's Shed, Wheels of Fleet and
Community Kitchen Gard8n continuè to thriv8 and Ih8ir preson¢g ackjs
good diveTsity and a lively mix of actiwlies lo the Mill campus.
