Village Halls Week 2022: Innovating for the future
Monday 24 January – Sunday 30th January 2022
Village Halls Week is a national campaign, shining a spotlight on the contribution England’s 10,000+ village halls make to rural communities. It is an opportunity for hall management committees to celebrate their work and get inspiration from others.
ACRE's fifth annual campaign will challenge halls to do something different and innovate for the future.
Halls do much to improve life for local residents, often providing the only local space where people gather, combating loneliness, and delivering a wide range of activities and services.
But in these precarious times, community buildings can play a leading role in shaping a better future. During the week, ACRE will be encouraging halls to pledge to do something different – whether that be extending their offer to their community, reducing their impact on the environment or becoming more financially sustainable.
