Update from Lochcarron Village Hall

Lochcarron Village Hall Update

Time has flown for the Village Hall this year, we can’t quite believe summer is nearly over!  The good news is that the remedial building works have commenced over the summer and we hope these will conclude in autumn to ensure the building is ready for the winter months.  We’d like to take this opportunity again to send a HUGE thank you to everyone for their wonderful support towards our raise the roof campaign over the past year or so.

We recently were made aware of an unexpected large expense concerning the lift at the hall which had arisen due to the digital changeover which affects the emergency telephone line within the lift.  With the expense of the building works already in the thousands £££, we were very lucky and extremely grateful to Emma and her team from the Spar Lochcarron who kindly put us forward to receive funding from the Spar Scotland Community Fund.  The fund awarded the Village Hall £1,500 which will help us immensely to cover the costs of the lift works.  In addition, we also received a generous donation from the Waterside Café towards the hall which will assist towards the lift – thank you to the team there too!
