Village Halls & Community Facilities

Some villages have community resilience plans, which often use their village hall as a "muster point" in emergencies, or even for emergency shelter.  It is good practice to consider developing a plan even if you think your community is not likely to be at risk from events such as flooding. 

For many people, community transport is their only means of getting to and from a medical appointment. It plays an important part in tackling social isolation, maintaining well-being and enabling people to access health services.
 

Voluntary sector activity is based upon trustworthiness, reliability, integrity and goodwill, and the value of a strong reputation should not be underestimated. Your public image influences partnership and contract prospects, campaigning, donation levels and the ability to attract volunteers.  Charities need to be aware that almost every activity carries reputational risk, whether that’s responding to an increased demand for services or a changing operating environment.
