Ellerton & Aughton Villages

  Many of the events held in the village hall advertise 'proceeds to the village hall fund'.  What is this fund for and where does the money go?

In November 2012 a survey of the hall was done to identify all the work that needs to be done to bring it up to scratch. Some of this work is urgent for a number of reasons - to protect the fabric of the building, for safety, and to help secure a lease for the building.  A priority list was drawn up detailing the work needed. As you can see below, a large amount of money is required to complete all the work.  The village hall committee will continue fund raising efforts until all the work is complete.

If you have a relevant skill/qualification and would be prepared to donate your time to help complete some of the work or, if you would be able and prepared to donate materials needed to carry out the work, we would be extremely grateful. Please contact us with your details.
