16 July 2024 - Mission Hall news
Dear all,
Great news! Sutton Poyntz Mission Hall has received £14,124 from The National Lottery Community Fund!
The money will go towards essential repairs & improvements needed for our 132 year old village hall to survive in the future.
Thank you to all our village fundraisers, National Lottery players & of course the new Community Fund!

We could not announce this at the recent AGM, because the National Lottery has an embargo on announcing new grants during a General Election campaign. This grant is specifically for the replacement windows (which will now be timber rather than UPVC), minor roof repairs, and heat insulation and woodworm treatment for the roof space above the hall. The grant will allow us to do more work this year that we would otherwise have had to put off until next year, and will therefore minmise the time the hall will be unavailable. Among other things, we now intend to upgrade the hall's heating system, fit brighter, dimmable, lights, fit a more compliant fire door at the north-east corner of the hall, and get the hall fully decorated. We are in the process of getting quotes for an expanded set of works, and will let you all know more when we have a schedule for the work.
Best wishes
Bill
