Early Year/KS1 3:30-4:30pm Early years/KS1 are invited to meet Father Christmas; enjoy the refreshments; play interactive games with Dazzle Face Painting and Entertainment; meet the donkeys; and collect a Christmas gift/goodie bag before heading home. KS2 5:00 – 6:30pm After a short break, KS2 are invited to meet Father Christmas; enjoy the refreshments; play interactive games with Dazzle Face Painting and Entertainment; meet the donkeys; bust some funky moves at the Secret Christmas Disco before picking up a Christmas gift/goodie bag on the way home. Parents/Guardians Parental/guardian supervision is required so free refreshments are provided to those supervising children. Regardless of financial situation, everyone should be able to enjoy the magic of Christmas. 175 children will be invited.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Direct benefit to children who reside within the catchment for Suckley&Broadwas Primary Schools. The cost-of-living crisis means many families will struggle. We find ourselves in a difficult situation where people need to choose between fundamental requirements: recreational activities are not an option. Adult mental health is something which is a hot topic, but little is said about the mental health and impact this situation will have on children. The mental health charity Mind have published multiple times about the impact Christmas normally has to both adults and children, however, this year the impact will be much greater. Many families will not be able to buy presents or take their children to visit Father Christmas as they did before. Such a simple event can cause so much joy, which improves mental health, and would also relieve some pressures on struggling families. To ensure the magic of Christmas remains inclusive and assessable to all local children, this is a free event.
Steps to get it done:
Direct invitations to the event are being sent with support of both Primary Schools. To be inclusive, posters will advertise to the community. A total of 175 children could benefit from this event and their families.

Community Event Funding
With regard to the Community Events, such as a community party/celebration or community workshop, the Committee are limited in financially supporting these events directly themselves. As per the Charity Commission requirements, money given to a charity needs to be used for their legitimate purpose and aid in reaching the charities intended beneficiaries.
Legally the Committee can cover part of the costs which pertain to its charitable purpose, such as utilities and providing that safe location, however, additional costings would likely fall outside of Broadwas Village Hall’s charitable purpose.
Therefore, we need the support of the community and others to facilitate and deliver much needed Community Events.
This is why Community Event are only ‘hosted’ by the Village Hall.
Any monies given to a Community Event which are surplus and are not spent on the event will be noted and held for the next Community Event. Community Event funding will not be used towards the upkeep or maintenance of the Village Hall.
Other Fundrasing Requirements
On occasion Broadwas Village Hall may need help in raising funds for a large project associated with the maintenance and upkeep of the hall. In this instance the funding request will be linked to the purpose of the hall and any monies raised will go towards the specified purpose; with any surplus underspend going into the main funds which the hall use to fulfil its charitable purpose.
Project Owner: Broadwas Village Hall The Project Owner takes legal responsibility for receiving and spending the funds raised and ensuring the project is delivered.
