Welcome

The Village Hall Trustees are in the process of applying for grants from the recently re launched Platinum Jubilee fund https://acre.org.uk/main-grants-scheme-for-village-halls/ which will pay up to 20% of suitable capital improvement projects. We need to have our application passed and there are some conditions attached but I am pleased to announce we are through the first stage applications and are getting help from Connecting Communities in Berkshire with our stage 2 application.

In line with our Community Consultation we are actively pursuing the top three projects our users identified as important to them plus an additional project we felt was long overdue and really important to our less mobile visitors.

The four projects we are working on are: 1) Solar PV with battery backup. 2) Refurbishment of male and female toilets. 3) New wider projector screen and 4) Button operated access doors at the main entrance and to the disabled toilet.

Really excited to see this happening, fingers crossed we get help with the funding.
