Description

Trewoon Village Hall is a community hall that is run by a committee of volunteers, it holds a variety of groups for the community to access to bring the community together. It provides a Pantomime group, a weekly bingo, an over 50s group, regular choir concerts, fitness groups, slimming world as well as being available to local people to hire for birthday parties etc.

Currently, the back rooms of Trewoon Village Hall are used as meeting and activity rooms which serve the parish of St Mewan. These include committee meetings (Pantomime, Village Hall etc) as well as other activities. However, There are 23.7% of the total population of Trewoon who are 65+ (source: Census 2021, National Office of Statistics) with varying needs which these rooms currently do not accommodate due to poor access. This is attributed to narrow doorways and corridors and one step entry to that part of the building with non-wheelchair friendly doorways.

We wish to make these activities accessible to everyone creating a sense of pride and place at the Village Hall and reduce loneliness within the community. This is important especially as in 2023, the National Poll on Healthy Aging found that 34% of those aged between 50 and 80 years feel isolated from others.

The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
