Our recent Climate Action project to help achieve net zero for the Hall is complete. This feat was achieved thanks to funding from the Vattenfall Unlock Our Future Fund, administered by Foundation Scotland,The Macrobert Trust, the Scottish Government's CARES scheme, H.D.H.Wills, the Gordon and Ena Baxter Foundation and The Marr Area Partnership. You will see the solar panels as you pass the Hall. What a grand job Ceiba Renewables and the team of electricians did installing the panels and batteries, despite the freezing weather conditions on those days. Ally Crawford Electricals installed our LED lights back in May, which has made a huge difference to our lighting. The last job on the list was to top up the loft insulation and this was expertly done by Kyle Sutherland Joinery. THANK YOU TO ALL OUR FUNDERS. And a huge thank you to our fundraiser Catriona Skene at Greenmore Consultancy who worked so hard on our behalf.
The generator is now in situ and resilience planning will continue after the Christmas break.
Everyone at Tullynessle and Forbes Community and Hall Association wishes you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful 2025.
