SAMLESBURY Memorial Village Hall is being redeveloped with a new kitchen allowing us to host more events.
The hall is already well used with regular events including monthly farmers' markets and a food club.
The trustees have secured over £40,000 worth of funding to expand and redevelop the hall, including the brand new kitchen. The redevelopment was arranged by the trustees led by Teresa Taylor.
Brian Taylor, the hall's chairman, said: "We were delighted to be awarded the funding, which will enable us to expand our food club and cater for larger functions."
County Councillor Michael Green, cabinet member for economic development, environment and planning, said: "Village halls and community centres are an important part of life, especially in rural areas.
We're very pleased that we could support Samlesbury Memorial Village Hall with their plans that will bring the community together with new and interesting local events."
South Ribble Borough Council is working as part of the Local Action Group to make rural businesses and community groups in the borough aware of the support available through the Rural Development Programme for England.
Councillor Phil Smith, South Ribble Borough Council's cabinet member for regeneration, leisure and healthy communities, said:
“It’s wonderful to see one of our community facilities being developed. It’s great news for the rural area and South Ribble is happy to have supported this programme in helping local rural communities thrive.”
Work is expected to begin in March 2011 and the project will be completed by Christmas.
Funding came from the Rural Development Programme for England. The programme runs until December 2013 and is funded by the European Union’s Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. It is managed by Lancashire County Council.
