Thorpe Arnold Village Hall Project

The hall was built as a  school in 1861 and became a village hall in 1950.

We need £70,000 just for basic rebuilding and repair work. We have just started.

We want to replace an existing, worn out tired old building.

It has a leaning wall, rotting timbers, a leaking roof and out of date facilities.

We aim

To maintain the provenance of the property

But create much needed larger, usable, up-to-date, disabled-friendly accommodation.

We have

Identified the following community uses for the hall :

Mornings only nursery school, Children's birthday parties, Lunch Club, Youth Club,                                    

Dancing, Pensioner Activities ( ie IT training, Short Mat bowls, other indoor sport facilities )

Small wedding receptions etc.

The hall will be available to all faiths and none. We want the hall to have a future. 

We have found that we can raise some funds without even changing our spending habits.

We can save and raise on Electricity, Gas, Telephone, Broadband and Greetings Cards.
