Morning everyone
On behalf of the Fulking Village Hall CIO trustees, we would like to provide an update regarding the purchase of the hall and chapel from the Mid Downland Parochial Church Council (PCC).
Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to complete the purchase, and our current negotiations have stalled.
We remain fully committed to resolving any outstanding issues so that we can get the process back on track and complete the purchase of the hall for the benefit of our community as soon as possible. To achieve this, we are currently reaching out directly to the PCC as well as to senior diocesan leadership.
The level of public support over the past 18 months has been incredible, clearly demonstrating just how much everyone values the hall and its vital role in our village. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported this journey so far. This includes our private donors, local business sponsors, the 300+ people who have attended our events, the Parish Council, and our wonderful army of volunteers who helped bring our community together to ensure we hit our fundraising target. All funds generously donated to the Village Hall CIO remain safely held in readiness for its purchase.
We remain entirely focused on completing the purchase so that we can continue organising events and activities for the benefit of our community for many years to come. Details of our upcoming events, including a MacMillan Coffee Morning, coming soon…
We will update everyone in the Autumn once we have further information, when we will also hold a public meeting to answer anyone's questions.
Thank you again for your continued patience and support. 🙏
Warm regards,
The Trustees of the Fulking Village Hall CIO
