Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE) administers the Platinum Jubilee Village Halls Fund. The grants scheme was first announced to mark the occasion of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. The fund recognises the important role that village halls play in supporting rural communities.
Groups responsible for village halls and working on projects to the value of £37,500 or more that lead to a reduction in rural loneliness, have a positive impact on the local environment, support the rural economy and contribute to community life can apply for grants between £7,500 and £75,000. The PJVHF will only be open as long as funds are available and deadlines can be met. More about the fund
WRCC is now delivering village hall and community building support directly, led Chris Cowcher, CEO, working with other members of the team. This change brings to a close the partnership with Halls Together.
