Village halls across England can apply for grants to improve buildings and facilities. The grants scheme was first announced to mark the occasion of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.  The fund recognises the important role that village halls play in supporting rural communities. To date just under £3m in grant funding has been awarded to village halls across rural England.

Groups responsible for village halls and working on projects to the value of £37,500 or more that lead to a reduction in rural loneliness, have a positive impact on the local environment, support the rural economy and contribute to community life can apply for grants between £7,500 and £75,000.
