Don't forget the Freeland Community Hub AGM this Wednesday - that's for everyone who has bought shares in the Hub! We will open the Chapel up for a quick tour 7 to 7.30, then the AGM starts at the Village Hall at 7.30. After the formal proceedings, we will have progress updates, including from architect Maya Ellis, who will share the proposals that are being submitted for planning and listed building consent.

See you there!

Still a few places for the Scrabble-athon today in the Newell Room - starting at 1.30pm, just pop over! All in aid of the Freeland Community Hub Chapel renovation fund.

10/06/2026

A few changes are afoot now we have the Chapel.

First, we have a new website! Go to www.freelandhub.org.uk and have a look - and all suggestions or amends welcome.

Second, we now have 164 shareholding members of Freeland Community Hub. This week they will all be invited to our first AGM on 8 July, where all current Directors will stand down so that we can vote in a new Board. That may include some of the current Directors who stand again, but we're also hoping for fresh candidates to bring renewed energy, enthusiasm and ideas! It's not too late to buy a share (£10) if you haven't already. Find out about all of this on the website.

Third - we need help! Just small jobs - like helping to promote fundraising events. If you can operate Facebook or Canva, or are hapy just to put up posters, many hands make light work. Please get in touch.

Lastly, we have two exciting fundraising events coming up. The first is the Scrabble-athon on 20 June, and the second is the Voice Box Choir on 11 July. Keep an eye on the website for more on the choir, coming soon...

Two important updates today:

1. PLEDGE TIME: We are delighted that nearly £50,000 of your pledges have come in since we launched our share offer / donations drive last Thursday. BUT WE NEED MORE OF THEM! So if you've pledged, please get those funds paid in. Go to www.freelandcbs.community or pick up a form from Philip at 9 Blenheim Lane or Tom at 11 Broadmarsh Lane.

2. GRANT APPLICATIONS EXPERIENCE NEEDED: We have a dozen or more grants to apply for between now and June to support the renovation of the Chapel. Have you experience of this? Did you work in a University devlopment office? If so, we'd love you to join our task-and-finish group to get these applications nailed.

That's it everyone - have a lovely weekend!
