THE FRIENDLY VILLAGE HALL

Welcome to

Little Hadham Village hall

We are a registered charity with all funds raised going towards the upkeep and improvement of the hall for the benefit of the

local and wider community. Our management trustee committee members are all volunteers who work alongside a dedicated team of local volunteers who work tirelessly to support us with hall maintenance and events. We couldn't acheive what we do, without them.

Over the past two years, we have replaced all our windows and doors, achieved through your generous dontations and successful grants applications. We still have a lot to do, so please continue to support our refurbishment plans.

We look forward to welcoming you to any of our events and activities advertised on our website.

Little Hadham Village Hall is in need of vital refurbishment if it is to continue to provide an essential community facility for the village. The cost of the work that we need to do is well beyond the resources that the hall possesses and we are therefore raising funds from sources including through East Herts Lottery. Every ticket bought means the project is another step further forward.

Thank you for your support and good luck!

Our sincere thanks to our grantors, East Herts District Council, Garfield Weston Foundation, Low Carbon Workspace, Clarion Futures and HCF. Our sincere thanks also goes to generous local business support, residents and hard working volunteers.

Without this support the refurbishment works acheived so far, would not have been possible.

There is still much to do and the Village Hall Management Committee will continue to organise events and apply for grant funding to enable the second phase of refurbishment, which will include further window and door replacement, further redecoration and maintenance.

Thank you to everyone who has shown their support in 2021. We look forward to opening your newly refurbished hall in January 2022.
