Can Dunning run its own community hall?

Use It or Lose It!

The hall no longer has the full support of our local authority, as it has been underused, poorly managed and not financially viable for some years. We are looking at lease or purchase options by the community, or whether we have to admit defeat and allow the valuable village asset to be closed and sold off.

In the Meantime...

What would you like to see improved in the hall (survey)?

Live Active are still managing bookings for the hall. It is hoped that the Dunning Hall Group can take on this role during 2025.

The Group is is registered as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (number SC053780) and raised an expression of interest for community asset transfer with Perth & Kinross Council in March 2024.

The DCA and Stepping Stones recently awarded a grant to us for £5000 to purchase some great games and activity equipment and to ensure that the building is a great (and compliant) place to deliver childcare. We're hoping that this equipment will enhance the offering of "Emma's Explorers" and make Dunning a more attractive village for young families. We're also hoping that this will allow us to develop more youth initiatives, as well as provide the catalyst for more community groups.
