Nether Alderley Parish Council have successfully raised the funding to cover the costs of refurbishing the Parish Hall. Now we are actively seeking further grant funding opportunities to cover the costs of items such as new tables, chairs and blinds. We have also decided to re-activate our `JustGiving` Page. Can you help us to achieve this?

At the heart of our Village is our Village Hall, built in 1628 and extended in 1817 it is used by many people for community activities that bring local people together. Our records show that the usage over a year is circa 6000 people.. An historic beautiful building in a perfect setting and much used and loved by the community.

The building is currently undergoing extensive renovation, updating it to better meet current needs and to properly facilitate disability access. This work will involve a new entrance, new toilets and the harmonisation of all entrance and ground floor floor levels, all sympathetically undertaken in this historic building. We also will be transforming its kitchen facilities, its heating system and lighting to make them energy efficient and do our bit to help to reduce climate change. Our aim is to ensure the building is a warm and welcoming space for our community. The plans for this work are on our website.

It has been no mean feat for a relatively small council, albeit one with a big heart and one with great ,local support to have raised the funding for the Hall's renovation. However we now need to renew the tables, chairs and provide window blinds to complete this work and are seeking contribution via Just Giving.

We are custodians of this charming historic building for generations to come. As Parish Clerk I have shivered in it on cold evenings, tripped regularly at the three different ground floor levels but its charm has certainly got me hooked, We are creating an accessible, warm and welcoming space with good access to the internet for its users and with your help we can push this over the line before November and provide it with the chairs, tables and window blinds that the building and its users deserve .

During the renovation we have had some very kind donations ranging from £10 to £1000 from people who have used this facility. Any contribution you can now make, however small, to this new funding appeal will help us to complete this work and preserve this much loved building for the next 100 years.

We are using the trusted Just Giving Initiative to help us to raise these funds,

Thanks

David Naylor Parish Clerk
