Village halls in Warwickshire and around the country have a critical role to play in bringing rural communities together.
According to ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England) over 80, 000 volunteers are involved in running 10,000 village halls plus church halls and community centres in England. There are about 400 village and community halls in Warwickshire & Solihull alone.
If you’re involved in running a hall, you may wonder who you can turn to for advice and support. Voluntary management committees have a lot of responsibility and we have set up the Halls Together service to provide you with practical help – as well as pointing you in the right direction for other sources of information.
