Progress - but slow.3 years ago

Summer is nearly here, but we will still need heating next winter. Please re-share our project with your friends and family and ask them to share in turn - lots of people giving a small amount each will still help.

Halls for All is run by volunteers, under the auspices of St. Ambrose church. We are a registered charity (number 1131639). The premises comprises three fully accessible spaces used by any and all members of the local community - a large hall with stage, a smaller hall and a meeting room. These are currently heated by gas boilers that were fitted in 1982. These boilers use a lot of energy and do not heat the areas efficiently. Many of the Halls for All users are young children and vulnerable adults, who need a warm environment.

Background of the project

Halls for All is run by volunteers, under the auspices of St. Ambrose church, but receiving no funding from the church or diocese. We are a registered charity (number 1131639). The premises comprises three fully accessible spaces used by any and all members of the local community - a large hall with stage, a smaller hall and a meeting room. These are currently heated by gas boilers that were fitted in 1982. These boilers use a lot of energy and do not heat the areas efficiently. Many of the Halls for All users are young children and vulnerable adults, who need a warm environment. Here are some of our users:
Dance groups – modern, traditional and fitness/dance
Drama groups – especially St. Ambrose Players
Concert and music groups (church and community-based)
Toddler and ‘messy play’ groups
Junior sports activities
Young people’s uniformed organisations
Dog training groups
Groups that meet for discussion, meditation, mutual support, etc.
Craft groups
Meetings and conferences run by NHS, local councillors, U3A, local businesses, etc.
Gardening groups and shows
Church events such as Christmas Fairs and fund-raising occasions
Children’s parties, birth and wedding celebrations

We are running this campaign to be able to replace the old gas boilers with modern, more efficient ones.
