Can You Help Save the Village Hall ?

Can You Help Save the Village Hall ?

The village hall in Moreton Morrell has been closed for nearly 3 years as it is in need of a lot of
structural repair work and has been deemed unsafe to use. It is sad to see this lovely historic
building and valuable village asset, sitting empty falling into greater disrepair.There are lots of
grants and possible funds which could be applied for to bring this historic building back into use
but it needs a group to work with the two remaining trustees to help put together a business
case and pull funding applications together to ensure its future.
It also needs the support of the village in relation to future use in order to ensure its long-term
viability.
The Village does have the room at the Church which is a great community space and is used
by many of the regular groups in the village but it is too small for some activities.The village hall
is obviously a lot bigger and if upgraded and funds could be raised, could be used for larger
events such as children’s parties, village suppers , toddler groups, film nights, dancing classes,
fitness classes,art classes,teenage youth club and table tennis. These are all activities which in
the past have been carried out in the hall.
It would be great if we could get some volunteers to take on this task, if interested please let the
Parish Clerk Pam Routly know by the email detailed below.
It would also help in putting a case for grant aid if Everyone in the village could fill in the survey
form attached and either email responses to the Parish Clerk : clerk@moretonmorrell-pc.gov.uk
or drop off a hard copy to Eileen Edwards at The Garden House , Main Street , Moreton Morrell
