A big thank you to everyone who attended our AGM on Wednesday 12th July 2023.  It was nice to see new and old faces and receive feedback and ideas from members and hall users.

Not only did we strengthen our membership, we also signed up a new committee member.

Thank you again.

The HRH committee.

Hill Rise Community Association has been open for business since 1979 when local residents decided that the boarded-up building at the end of the road could be put to effective use. They got together, approached the council to obtain a lease on the building and opened it up as a Community Centre for everyone to enjoy.

Since 1979, a lot has changed, people have moved on, clubs have opened and closed to be replaced by new ones, but the hall remains, and the Committee continues to manage the facilities for the community and user groups. The continued success of Hill Rise Hall is a testament to the challenging work and dedication of the original members to lay the foundations of the association so that it could become what it is today.

In 2017 decades of challenging work nearly unravelled. The Committee had fallen to just three members which just was not enough to keep the hall running. Faced with the real possibility of closure, five local residents volunteered to take on Committee roles at the AGM and saved the facility.
