Earl Soham Village Hall Renovation Fund:
Sensitive renovation of the original village hall building is underway and fund-raising plans in place for an eco-friendly sustainable heating system and replica external doors to keep the heat in and the weather out ! Local company, Earl Soham Joinery Ltd. will craft three sets of replica doors to modern standards, replacing the ageing and draughty original doors that now threaten to blow open with every puff of wind. Installing infra-red heating in the ceiling will create an even warmth during the winter months and chilly Spring evenings, allowing a broader range of groups and activities to use the Hall all year round.
Infra-red heating is highly recommended for community buildings with large open spaces; it warms people and objects, rather than pumping heat into the air. This eco-friendly route to sustainability will allow us to remove the inefficient and costly oil-fired heating system, giving new life to the hall, bringing in a new, warmer era.
The original entrance doors are now 90 years old and need replacing, whilst still keeping the aesthetic of the 1934 architecture.
Help to revitalise your Village Hall:
Our target amount for this project is £25,000. Please donate as and when you can..every little helps: £5 / £10 or more.. every penny is much appreciated. It is possible to make a one-off or monthly donations for the life of the project. Regular updates will be posted as progress is made. Cash donations can also be made at village hall events (see Earl Soham Village Hall for event information) We hope the community will take part, support the Hall and help to create a warm and toasty, vibrant Hub for the village.
