Raise the Roof - Saving our Village Hall
Our much treasured Village Hall was built in 1871 as the village school but is now showing significant signs of its age. This, the hub of our community, is in urgent need of fundamental repairs which can wait no longer. Roof elements such as the barge boards, soffits and membrane must be replaced – and soon ! However, the cost will be considerable - currently estimated to be nearly £30,000 of which our community will need to find at least 50% So, through the Parish Council, the 'Raise the Roof' campaign has been launched to raise the funds that we so urgently need to find.
'Raise the Roof' is planning a whole series of activities and events aimed at bringing our very special community together whilst also raising funds. The first Raise the Roof event was the Granby & Sutton Summer Party, followed by a succession of Quiz, Horse Racing and even Pig Racing nights - all of which were fantastically successful in bringing our community together and raising funds.
