Community Hall benefits from housebuilder’s donation

Westhampnett Community Hall, which is available to hire, along with its facilities, for local people has benefited from a £1,000 grant from the Barratt Homes Community Fund.

The Community Hall, set in the heart of Westhampnett village, near Chichester, provides an elegant setting for events, kids parties, clubs and meetings. It is also home to several groups on offer to the local community, including sports, craft and music classes.

Claire McLeish, vice chairman of the parish council, that provided the Hall for the village, said: “The Hall is a fantastic space for the local community here and I’m delighted that it’s been chosen as one of the beneficiaries of the Barratt Homes Community Fund.

“This generous donation will go towards landscaping the outside of the Hall – seeding, turfing and tree planting. We hope to have a community day to start work on this as soon as the weather improves, in readiness for a couple of weddings we have booked.”

The Hall in Westhampnett provides a stylish and warm space for hire. It is surrounded by natural light and can be partitioned to smaller and more private areas. With access to many electrical outlets and Wi-Fi, the Hall has the flexibility to suite many requirements.

Jon Green, Barratt Homes’ managing director said: “Community Halls are often the social hub of a village, where local people can come together for groups, parties or events. I’m delighted that we can help such an important space for the local community.”

Barratt Homes’ Community Fund is a dedicated financial resource that helps to support local causes which improve the quality of life for those living in the region.
