Future Plans and Funding
We're Planning to Improve the Community Centre
Post COVID plans have been submitted and approved to make some major improvements to the Community Hall. It's a big project (for us) and will really improve the facilities in line with the suggestions from the 2021 Community Survey.

Raising Funds
Lockdown has meant NO funds coming in for the last year. We have completed rewiring the hall, replaced our ageing oil tank , nearly completed the kitchen refurbishment We have been raising funds to complete several important bits of work to bring the hall up to standard. Apart from trying to find some major funders, any and all donations towards the work are a great help.
You could send a cheque or leave a big tip when you visit us. 100% of any donation will go straight into the development fund - if you were able to Gift Aid your donation that would be even better.You can download a Gift Aid Declaration form here.
Current Local Fundraising target £125,000. Raised and Promised so far (inc. Gift Aid):
