The present village hall built in 1900 is cold, has no kitchen or toilets for the less mobile and no outside area. But great community, many elderly and developing healthy and cultural activities and a lovely rural setting. We have been granted £290,000 towards a new building but require £400,000 for a simple build of smallish hall, meeting room, kitchen, toilets and outside areas with 99 year lease. There are no shops or regular transport so this is the hub of the community providing for all. The pressure from our funding bodies is to start building work by January 2020.
What we'll deliver:
- New building
- High on sustainability - air source heating and solar panels
- A community centre for an isolated rural area
Why it's a great idea:
This is one of the most beautiful areas tucked away in North Northumberland but the community have suffered a village hall for many years which is freezing in winter, mouse intrusion, cramped and excluding some from access. The vibrant community deserve a centre to be comfortable to develop more social, cultural and health activities.
Steps to get it done:
- Build starts beginning 2020 and completed by Oct 2020
Rural areas are the place to be - working from home, not isolated and safe. The cakes at the coffee mornings are to die for!

About the Project Creator
The Village Hall committee manages the Village Hall under the auspices of Ellingham Parish Council. The Parish is in a sparsely populated rural area. There are about 370 people within the Parish and 117 within the village but many come from the outlying areas. No shops,one bus a week - great quiet place 6 miles from the coast. Comes within one of the most deprived (index) areas but community supports all generations. You could be isolated here but we know everyone in the Parish and the young adults deliver logs to all the residents at Christmas to keep warm.
Project Owner: Ellingham Village Hall Committee The Project Owner takes legal responsibility for receiving and spending the funds raised and ensuring the project is delivered.
