Management

The day-to-day running of the hall and its finances is the responsibility of the Newnham Village Hall Management Committee, a registered charity no. 277739.

As a registered Charity the Hall was gifted to a Committee in 1979 for the charitable purposes of “the provision and maintenance of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of the parish of Newnham without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, including use for meetings, lectures and classes, and for other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.”

In the last few years some significant improvements have been made to the facilities including fast Wi-Fi installation, new double glazing to all windows, installation of a more efficient heating system and LED lighting. Several additional improvements are planned including reconfiguration of the toilets, redecoration throughout and new soft furnishings.

The Village Hall is entirely self-financing, relying on income from lettings together with fund-raising events.

The Village Hall is entirely self financing, relying on income from lettings together with fund raising events. Grants have been received for specific activities and projects, and during the Covid pandemic, but regular fundraising events are therefore an important part of the annual programme of Village Hall activities. In recent years these have included Annual Jumble Sales, Comedy Nights, Quiz Nights a Music & Curry night as well as our ever popular Music on the Green event in the summer. Such events raise much needed funds for the upkeep of the Hall and the Committee is very grateful for this support. And, of course, private donations are always welcome!
