Funding

Significant capital investment by local authorities and funding bodies has helped to keep the stock of community buildings fit for purpose in the 21st century. ACRE believes the investment has been well justified as village halls provide an extremely wide range of services, community and cultural activities.

Funding for Rural Community Buildings

There are a number of funding sources for capital works, activities and service provision within community buildings. ACRE would strongly advise that you contact your local adviser, who will be familiar with all current sources both locally and nationally as well as any new funding that is likely to be available.

ACRE’s Village Hall Information Sheet 4 ‘Funding Trusts for Village Halls and Community Centres’ provides information about sources of funding that could be available for your hall.

If you are currently considering a build project Village Hall Information Sheet 23 'Steps to funding the fabric of community buildings' provides useful guidance.
