Village Hall Safeguarding Week 2020

November 16-22 is Safeguarding Adults Week and ACRE is using this week to promote safeguarding (for adults and children) in village halls

See their website for more details

It’s sometimes said that village hall charities don’t have much responsibility for ensuring people are safe from harm, because that’s up to the organisers of all the different activities that take place in halls.  Obviously it’s true that hirers have a key role in ensuring (as best they can) the safety and well-being of their participants, but the village hall committee has an important role too.

ACRE have revised their Information Sheet and model safeguarding policy, so please contact us for a copy (email us or call 01962 857358).  Users of our message board on Basecamp can download the new documents from the Docs and Files area.

If you aren’t on Basecamp yet, sharing ideas and issues with over 160 people from community halls and centres across Hampshire, find out more here or email us and we’ll get you set up.  (It’s free!)

We’ll be sharing ACRE’s social media posts all through this week, so if you use social media then do connect with us and ACRE:

  • Pamber parish council were really pleased with the support provided by Action Hampshire’s Rural Housing Enabler helping us through the development process. It was a good experience.

    Chris Goss, Pamber Parish Council
  • Action Hampshire has always been a useful font of information for us at Winchester Churches Nightshelter. Sue has always been really helpful, and I do find the updates from the ‘wider’ world to be of interest.

    Michèle Price, Winchester Churches Nightshelter
  • Having Action Hampshire as a point of reference, support and guidance is invaluable for small to medium sized charities like ourselves. Without them, we would be far less connected and less able to serve our beneficiaries in a meaningful and coordinated way.

    Juno Hollyhock, The Rose Road Association
  • I have found Action Hampshire to be truly innovative and forward thinking in their approach to their work and their passion for the voluntary and community sector is easily measured through their work to help improve the lives of all sections of the community.

    Grant Cornwell, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Foundation
  • Action Hampshire are the most fantastic organisation and it has been a pleasure to collaborate with them. They are very positive and easy to work with, from Rachel’s warmth on the front desk all the way up to Sue’s vast knowledge and experience on the top floor.

    George Scott-Welsh, IncuHive
