Sir Gavin Williamson has strongly welcomed refurbishment to Weston Village Hall following the awarding of grants from Severn Trent Community Fund and the Platinum Jubilee Fund.
A total of £8,500 was presented to the Management Committee and a showcase event was held on Saturday, 1st February to thank all those who volunteer their time for the benefit of the community. Improvements to the Village Hall include new flooring, upgrades to external doors, and electrical work.
The Hall hosts a number of local clubs including dance and fitness classes, as well as being an ideal venue for weddings, parties, and meetings.
A spokesperson for Weston Village Hall Management Committee said: “We were grateful to Sir Gavin for taking the time to attend our showcase event to mark the refurbishment of Weston Village Hall.
"We are thrilled to have received grants from Severn Trent Community Fund and from the Platinum Jubilee Fund. These grants will make a huge difference to an important community asset.
"The Management Committee looks forward to working with Sir Gavin as well as continuing to support the wider community.”
Sir Gavin said: “It was fantastic to attend Weston Village Hall as part of their showcase event. The village hall has undergone a remarkable transformation thanks to grant money from Severn Trent and the Platinum Jubilee Fund, which will make a huge difference to the community.
“I am grateful to all the volunteers who dedicate their free time to host classes, maintain the village hall, and apply for grants which greatly enhance the offering to residents in Weston and beyond.”
