The Government has announced a major new village hall renovation grant fund worth £3 million, in honour of Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The fund will benefit communities up and down the country, with 125 village halls set to receive new funding.
Gareth said:
"I am delighted by the announcement of this generous new package of funding for our village halls. Village halls play a crucial role in bringing people together throughout the country, and sit at the heart of so many of our rural communities - whether playing host host to art clubs, fitness classes, coffee mornings, or charity fundraisers. They are incredibly important for combatting loneliness and represent a focal point for social life and community activity across the countryside. This boost for social cohesion and its celebration of communities in every corner of the nation is a fantastic tribute to the extraordinary service of Her Majesty the Queen over the last seventy years, and is a marvellous way of celebrating the exceptionable achievement of Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee."
