We are very excited and delighted to report that we have been awarded a generous grant from FCC Communities Foundation (@fcccommunitiesfoundation) to enable us to make further improvements to the Parish Hall. This, together with the grant we received from the National Lottery Awards for All, will mean that you should soon start to see work begin on the Hall.
On behalf of the Parish Council, the Advisory group will be working hard over the next few weeks to gather together more quotations to cover the work that FCC will be supporting and employing the best builders etc. for the project. A lot of work and late evenings have already taken place to submit the grant applications…… and now we will be holding more meetings to sort out how to proceed.
FoLPH (Friends of Launton Parish Hall) have been invaluable in the fundraising they have undertaken over the years, and continue to do so. One condition of us receiving this award is that we needed a third-party donor and FoLPH agreed to contribute this third-party donation to FCC of just over £10,000. They have also agreed to fund further improvements to the Hall. Thank you FoLPH.
We will keep all parishioners and Hall users informed of the progress we are making and given plenty of warning of when the Hall will be out of use. We hope to restrict this to a minimum and get the majority of the work done when the Hall is not in use during the summer holidays. That is our wish but of course we are in the hands of the builders and have to do the work when they are available.
We will continue to post upcoming fundraising events. Please support us by attending these events.
