Village Hall Week runs from 22nd to 28th January.  To support and celebrate our village halls we will be sharing an article every day during this week.

All the help you didn't know you needed

We have more than 25 years' experience in helping people who manage village halls, with everything from: 

  • Identifying Needs – Helping you to engage with your community effectively as well as using data to understand their needs.
  • Operations - Support you to run your day to day activities well by helping you develop the systems, processes and policies that mean your organisation operates efficiently, safely and legally.
  • Governance - Helping you manage your organisation well, understand its legal purpose, structure and rules enabling you to make decisions effectively
  • Planning and Project Development - Support for you to plan effectively, so that you can budget and schedule projects, identify the best options for delivery and relate these to the needs of your community
  • Funding and Resources – Help you to access the income you need and use this efficiently, maximising the use of your assets and minimising your expenditure
  • Skills and Knowledge – Support the people involved in your organisation to understand their roles and develop the skills and knowledge they need through training and support.
  • Engagement – Help you to involve the people you need either as volunteers or participants in your organisation's services and activities.
  • Partnership – Support you to develop relationships with other organisations to enable co-operation and effective partnerships.
  • Strategic Planning – Help you develop your vision for the future and know where you want to get your organisation to.

How our support works in practice

We know that most of the time all people need is pointing in the right direction, and we are more than happy to help your village hall so that your local community can thrive.  There is a wealth of information (and misinformation) available and it can seem impossible to know where to start.  A great case study of how a little help saved a village hall a lot of money and got results can be found here
