Summary of the main achievements of Our group I8 Continued to get local SUprt for the charity. and the charity during the financial period fimding which b&$ hel[ create a space for group activities for our local Community Council to hire for events and fundraising and any businesses or local parties can hire the haIl. People from the village have been participating in all of Crafts and get a cbance to meet socially.

Our group h&s also focused on renovating the hall to become more suited to any other groups who wish to hire the hall, a brand new Kitchen w&s fitted and this is more efficient and rn0 a cos), hub for local residents to come together for a wam) space weekly. We were able to offer a warm space for the community in the winter with local fimding from the I(al council. We were also successful in getting the funding through Place B&5ed Investment Programme to chang¢ our heating system to Air Source Heat Pump which is more economical and environmentally friendly. This was fitted in Sept 2023. Our clwity chose a local Ayrshire company to do the work xnd we felt it was itnportant to keep any Work we wanted in the hall to se locally suppliers or builders and tradesman Whe EX)ssible. We were able to get funding to be able to renovate the bathr(M)ms in the Hall as they bad not been upgraded since 1995 and they are now designed for people with disabilTrties so we can welcoEne as many people as we can to the hall. Some other alteraiions were also part of the fiding. new front door to belp reduce the draft from the previous dr it was very outdated and not sufficient for heating the hall in the winter. The new door helps to ure the heat when required and makes it more comfortable for groups or visitOTS for IMII hires or functions. Part of the upgrade was windows &8 it all helt*d to reduce the loss of heat. Windows are now sufficient 2nd needed replacing. CCTV w&$ also put in place as cl&%ses were b¢ing disrupted and due to the equipment in the hall. It is worth having for security reasons and safety me&8ures.
