Description

St Newlyn East Village Hall is a well loved community building in the centre of our village in Cornwall. The hall was originally opened in 1985 and was wholly financed and built by the villagers after extensive community led fundraising. The hall has been run by volunteers in the community for the community for nearly 40 years and is home to a number of regular user groups - local children and pensioner groups; wheelchair dancing troupe, toddler group, craft, sport and hobby clubs etc. In addition, the hall is the focus of regular annual community events such as our village Feast celebration, Parish Show, local carnival, as well as community commemoration of national events such as the Coronation and Jubilee and of course a great many local family celebrations. The hall also hosts regular local fundraising events, such as music concerts, cream teas, plays, coffee mornings, games evenings etc which are crucial to the survival of local clubs and institutions.

The hall is an essential lynchpin of community life and has (and does) play a huge part in bringing our community together. This has been particularly evident since the Coronovirus outbreak and has proved fundamental in building our community resilience and allowing our neighbours to mutually support and problem solve, through what for many, has been the most challenging of times.

Our project vision is to nurture an inclusive, vibrant network of local innovators, able to connect, support, problem solve and enable our community to flourish into the future. We will achieve this by developing our existing village hall into a vibrant community hub that acts as a catalyst to attract youth, NHS and wellbeing services into our locality. Our Hall, Our Future will create a versatile, digitally up-to-date work hub suitable for individuals, meetings, conferences, Teams meetings alongside work from home people and students. We will open our doors to attract, welcome, and become a home to, satellite services such as youth, NHS and community wellbeing services allowing local people to reach their potential, nurture ideas, create local leaders and strengthen the foundations of our community.

To achieve this we intend to commission the following:
a. general refurbishment (Tender CLUP05-01 Ten 1 Lot 1)
b. thermally insulate the roof (Tender CLUP05-01 Ten 1 Lot 2)
c. thermally insulate the walls (Tender CLUP05-01 Ten 1 Lot 3)
d. install solar panels and battery storage and replace the inefficient oil boiler with air source heating. provide community electric vehicle charging ports (Tender CLUP05-02 Ten 2)
