Pannal Village Hall wins grant

A major grant is set to transform Pannal Village Hall.

Funding has been approved for a major improvement scheme at Pannal Village Hall to upgrade facilities and create new space for community activities thanks to a £100,000 grant award from FCC Communities Foundation.

The money will be used to build a new meeting room and toilet block, plus a new entrance gallery and much needed additional storage space.

Pat said: “This is a real boost to the people of Pannal and Burn Bridge.

“It’s fantastic that FCC Communities have awarded us this money and we’re really looking forward to being able to offer the community such a great and improved venue for all our activities.

“Works will start next year and be completed over the summer.”
