The Kent County Council is offering the Village and Community Hall Grant Scheme, a funding opportunity designed to support the upkeep and improvement of village and community halls across the region.
The initiative aims to ensure that local halls remain accessible, safe, and fit for purpose, helping communities maintain vital spaces for social, cultural, and recreational activities.
The scheme provides grants to cover a range of costs associated with hall maintenance and enhancement. This includes structural repairs, energy efficiency improvements, accessibility adaptations, and essential facility upgrades. Funding can also support projects that enhance the hall’s use, such as equipment purchases or technology upgrades that benefit community members.
To be eligible, organisations must be legally registered and responsible for a village or community hall within Kent. Applications can only be submitted for projects that are not already underway or completed, and the grant is intended to assist in delivering clear improvements or enhancements to the hall. Projects should demonstrate tangible benefits to the local community, encouraging wider participation and engagement.
Applications require details of the proposed project, including objectives, costs, and expected outcomes. Grant amounts vary based on project scope and available funding, and successful applicants are expected to provide evidence of progress and completion. The scheme encourages collaboration with volunteers and local groups to maximize community involvement and impact.
This grant program is an important resource for communities in Kent seeking to maintain and enhance their local halls, ensuring these spaces continue to serve as hubs for activities, events, and social connection for residents.
