Fyne Futures Helps To Bring Kilmun Village Hall To Life

Fyne Futures, the subsidiary of Fyne Homes Housing Association, has teamed up with the Kilmun Hall and Recreation Association to help develop a sustainability plan for the historical listed building which overlooks the Holy Loch.

Working closely with the Kilmun Village Hall group, Fyne Futures hopes that together they can help position the recently refurbished hall as an attractive venue for social, educational and recreational purposes.

The building, which is Category B Listed and dates back to 1911, is increasingly been used by local social and sport groups and has also been used to stage conferences and business events.

With a capacity to hold 120 people the hall also has established a reputation as an ideal venue for weddings and other special celebrations. The location adds a great deal making it an attractive option for locals and also has the potential to pull other people from throughout the country to Kilmun, who are searching for a unique venue and the ultimate backdrop for weddings and other special occasions.


Fiona Fisher, chair of the Kilmun Village Hall Group said: "Our village hall is a real hidden gem and the hall is located in a stunning location with breathtaking views overlooking the Holy Loch, which will help to raise awareness of this unique venue not only to those in Argyll and Bute but to people further a field.

"We are delighted that we have the support of Fyne Futures. Their help is greatly appreciated and together with the on going support of the dedicated members of the Kilmun Village Hall group we hope that the Hall will quickly become recognised as a unique venue for weddings, conferences and also provide a central meeting place for the community, bringing them closer together."

Alan McDougall, director of Fyne Homes said: "Fyne Homes prides it self as being an organisation which is a central part of the community throughout Argyll and Bute. As well as providing affordable housing we also believe that is crucial that we help local community groups such as the Kilmun Village Hall Group.

"With the support if our subsidiary group, Fyne Futures we hope that we can inject some life into Kilmun and position the village hall as an attractive venue to stage weddings and functions and also attract more people to Kilmun, helping to boost the local economy."
