Village Halls Week 2021

Running from Monday 25 to Friday 29 January

Next week is Village Halls Week, a celebration of the volunteers who run England’s 10,000+ village halls and the difference they make to their communities.

The 2021 campaign, led by our national partner charity ACRE, will be a celebration of how village halls are survivors. Many have been bringing people together in rural communities since the 1920s. And in the past year, the volunteers who manage these buildings have shown great determination and resilience in the face of Coronavirus, negotiating lockdowns and putting in place Covid-19 Secure measures so they could continue supporting their local community.

There are several online events that you can join in with through the week.  All the details are on ACRE’s website and here is a summary:

Tues 26 Jan, 2.00pm

An introduction to the National Rural Touring Forum – for venues and artists who are interested in getting involved in rural performing arts.  Sign up at this link.

Weds 27 Jan, 10.30am

Beyond Covid-19: A roadmap to help village halls recover – to help you return to a new normal following the national upheaval caused by Covid-19, including a section on how your hall can mitigate the impact of water damage.  Sign up here.

Thurs 28 Jan, 10.30am

A zero-carbon future for village halls – how community buildings can reduce their energy consumption and get best value on their bills.  Sign up here.

Village Halls Centenary Domesday Book

ACRE have set up a ‘Domesday Book’ to gather stories and evidence of the impact that village halls have in communities across England.  It would be great to have many Hampshire halls represented so please add your contribution here – and see a preview of the Book below!

  • 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
