Hide AdCommittee chair Robin Jenkins said: “We are delighted to receive this grant from DAERA, which will be used to target much needed improvements to the Hall. By investing in making our facilities modern and user-friendly, DAERA is assisting us deliver on our commitment to ensure Kilwaughter Village Hall a vibrant and socially- relevant community resource that is used by a wide range of people.
“This success is the result of months of hard work during the application process, including several committee members undertaking eight weeks of intensive ‘Managing your Space’ training delivered on behalf of DAERA by the Rural Community Network. I want to thank them for their efforts and commitment, which was key to this positive outcome.”
