Kirkby Fleetham Village Hall
After a long period of closure due to Covid, the Village Hall is happily getting ready to welcome people back through its doors. What’s more, along with the activities arranged by our existing providers, we are excited to announce our plans for several new events, made possible by generous grants from Hambleton District Council.
Chair of the Village Hall Committee, Mike Dillon, said: “We’ve had tremendous support from Hambleton, with funds to cover running costs during closure and now the wonderful news that the Committee’s application for funding from the Making a Difference Grant has been approved. We put forward a detailed proposal to purchase equipment and provide activities that will make a real difference to people in our area.
"We already have a beautiful village hall, and now we will be able to install the sound and lighting equipment needed to stage high quality musical and theatrical performances. We have plans for visiting speakers, ‘Desert Island Discs’ events and even Tea Dances! We want to encourage visiting theatre groups to stage performances and we’ll be installing a hearing loop so that our activities become more accessible.
"Our application was based on promoting ‘wellbeing’, which is something we all need at the moment. Some of the cost will be covered by our own previous fund-raising, such as the highly successful plant stall at The Willows, boosted by the generous 75 per cent grant from Hambleton District Council.
"We are working hard to make sure people are kept informed about the things that are happening locally, including these new events. We know that some people like to receive their copy of Social News through their letterbox whilst others would rather read it online. Please fill in and return the slip on the back page to let us know."
The Committee is particularly keen to hear from people who are interested in setting- up a group and steering its development. This need not be onerous and should be very enjoyable.
If you have an idea for a group, whether or not you would be prepared to take a lead, please get in touch.
If you’d like to chat about any suggestions or developments, you can call Mike Dillon, Chair of the Village Hall Committee on
07713 131980 or speak to any Committee member.
