Since opening in 1975 Henry Wood Hall has been entirely self-financing. We receive no public subsidy and rely solely on rental revenue to meet the demands of maintaining the building. However, if we are to guarantee the future of the Hall – which has served the musicians’ community for nearly three decades – we need to undertake a comprehensive programme of renovation. The interior of the Hall was completely restored when the Church was converted and is still in immaculate condition, but the exterior has remained largely untouched. Due to poorly executed repair-work carried out in the 1950s before our tenancy began, the stonework of the clock-tower is now in danger of becoming unstable. To prevent it from deteriorating any further, we have set up an extensive programme of restoration. In order for these works to be carried out the building will close in August 2005 for a period of upto 16 weeks. This will also enable us to undertake other necessary works including improved disabled facilities, a new soloist's room and the upgrading of the original plant and machinery. The total cost of this programme will be £500,000. An amount such as this is well beyond the scope of our current resources. A fund-raising appeal launched in April 2002 realised £138,000 in the first eighteen months but we are still in urgent need of funds.
