Locally raised £67,000 events and appeal
Grant giving bodies £122,000
Public funding £90,000 councils, parish council
Total £279,000
What a fantastic achievement!
There are two very important public meetings to be held in the near future. Each will be in the Village Hall and will give everyone the opportunity to ask questions and have an input into the final design of the hall. The meetings are:
Friday 18th September – A presentation by the Trustees on your hall’s future followed by a question and answer session and a vote – 7.30 - 9.00 pm
Friday 2nd October – Workshop - Group sessions to discuss sustainability, reusing materials, outside landscaping, and the carbon footprint of the new village hall – 7.00 - 9.00pm
