02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Our main aim is to provide a focal point for our rural village, encouraging social activities to build community. We act as a vital hub for the community, hosting a wide variety of events and activities. The Hall remains central to village life as it has for over 125 years, providing a gathering place. Our trustees and volunteers facilitate a wide range of community events from ceilidhs to birthday parties to film nights to bingo fundraisers and funeral teas. The Hall will also provide a local hub and resilience centre in times of inclement weather and is a refuge point for our local primary school and pre-school setting.
