The hall has been established as a centrepiece of the community; strengthening bonds and encouraging social cohesion, by offering a wide range of activities and social events both in and outside of the hall on the adjacent Recreation Ground. The initial aim of building the phase 1 extension has been achieved. The fundraising focus now changes towards fully equipping this wonderful facility and achieving the second aim: the proposed phase 2 extension; the land for which is secured.

Why the community needs us

The hall provides opportunities and the venue for a wide range of inclusive activities within the village including sports, special interest clubs, physical activities and group meetings as well as parties and more formal occasions such as wedding receptions. The charity provides a visible and non-profit making organisation for the sympathetic management, promotion and expansion of the hall in line with the growing needs of the community, meeting current building, licensing and safety standards.

Our impact on the community

The Hall Management Committee is comprised of volunteers who represent the interests of the village and the hall's user groups, and together with an active working party, collectively use their skills toward the effective and efficient operation of the hall. Through their combined efforts, the fund raising section, (Raise the Roof) and the generosity of our donors over a three year period; the £250,000 phase 1 hall extension was successfully completed in 2013, officially opening in October.
