Member of the Month // Sandleheath Village Hall

Sandleheath is a rural village, formally a brick-making centre, located to the west of Fordingbridge. Its village hall has become the focal point in the community for young families, and also an above-average elderly population.

Unlike neighbouring parishes, Sandleheath has no communal meeting place and so the registered charity Sandleheath Village Hall, has taken a 25-year lease on the vacant St. Aldhelm’s building in the village. The community hall provides space for activities, clubs and private hire. They aim to raise £150,000 to fully refurbish the building and convert it into a contemporary village hall and much-needed community centre, with disabled facilities.

So far, through generous municipal and commercial grants, coupled with their local fundraising efforts, they have acquired £80,000, but they now need to raise the remainder!
