Activities

'the advancement of education','the advancement of citizenship or community development','the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science','the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended'

The main motivation behind local people within the Moray community coming together to form the charity, was the desire and determination to save Elgin Town Hall from closure by the Moray Council with effect from July 2018. The understanding was that the Hall would only be kept open if a community group was formed and met the criteria for running a Hall in their own right. The challenge that our Charity faced last year, continues into this year. Our current venue is so much smaller than Elgin Town Hall, and although we are seeing an increase in numbers of people attending events, an increased number of events, and an increase in demand for space within the building, this still does not equate to the lost revenue situation, leaving us still somewhat concerned about the financial stability of the organisation.
