Astley Hall Secures CLLD Funding for Essential Safety and Infrastructure Improvements
The Committee of Astley Hall is delighted to announce that the hall has been awarded funding through the Highland Community Led Local Development (CLLD) Small Grants Programme.
The £7146 funding will support a programme of essential safety and infrastructure improvements designed to safeguard the long-term future of the community facility and ensure it remains a safe, welcoming and sustainable venue for local residents and community groups.
The project will deliver a full Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) and undertake any required lighting repairs and upgrades identified through the inspection. In addition, the hall's outdated fire and smoke alarm system will be replaced on a like-for-like basis with modern, compliant technology that meets current safety standards.
These improvements will help ensure that Astley Hall remains fit for continued community use while enhancing safety, reliability and energy efficiency throughout the building.
