The refurbishment is going well and is currently on programme thanks to grants from Veolia Environmental Trust, Platinum Jubilee Village Halls Fund, Warwickshire Green Shoots Fund, Wolvey Parish Council, Garfield Weston Foundation, and Genesis Recruitment. There have been a number of unforeseen issues, which is not unexpected on a building which is over 100 years old, but these have swallowed all of our contingency budget, and we therefore urgently need to raise further funds.
All of the doors and windows have now been installed, including the tri-fold doors to the new patio. Internal and external painting has commenced and the entire building will now look modern and spacious. The completion date has been confirmed as originally planned and it is expected that all of the groups and organisations will be able to move back in on time.

Things have moved on apace this month with both kitchens having been fitted and whiterock splashbacks added. Internal doors have been hung and new low energy LED lighting has been installed throughout. New flooring has been fitted to the kitchens, garden room, & toilets, and new wood cladding has been installed. Some areas have already been decorated and we are starting to look like a Village Hall again. The windows and doors are due to arrive on Monday 5th August and rapid progress should be made thereafter. Please see the photos below.

The Garden Room along with the storage area is taking shape, with the previous separating wall having been removed and the external wall cut out to make way for the patio doors. The main hall dry lining is progressing, along with a new damp course, windows on order, and the kitchen has been delivered. Insulation works into the ceilings is progressing well, with plastering being the next phase. Our amazing fundraising team continue to put on coffee mornings, quizzes, musical evenings and other events, and will be doing so from other venues to be advised during the closure.

We have now booked Phase 1 of the required works to start on 6th May, and continue to apply for grant support for Phase 2 of the works such that it can be completed simultaneously to minimise disruption, but we still need to raise a further £49,500 to enable this.

Prudent management over the last century has resulted in a substantial redevelopment reserve, and we have been awarded £14,500 from the Warwickshire Green Shoots Fund, £833.33 from Wolvey Parish Council, £75,000 from Veolia Environmental Trust, £500 from Genesis Recruitment, and we also have a pledge of £25,000 once we have completed fundraising. We have now raised sufficient to start Phase 1 of the required works, and continue to apply for grant support. We would prefer for Phase 2 of the works to be completed simultaneously to minimise disruption, but we still need to raise a further £50,000 to enable this. Our amazing fundraising team continue to put on coffee mornings, quizzes, musical evenings and other events. Please be as generous as you can - 100% of your donations will be applied to the redevelopment. We also invite one-off and regular donations and are Gift Aid registered – if you would like to contribute in this way, please contact the treasurer Bob on 07967 311505 or email admin@wolveyvillagehall.co.uk.

Built and opened in 1920 following gift of the land by Henry John Campion Winterton.
Known then as the Memorial Hall to the first world war, then the second world war and more recently known as Wolvey Village Hall; it has previously been used as a doctor’s surgery; local police station and is still used as the local polling station.
Wolvey Village Hall is now over 100 years old.
Over the years additions have been made to the original building to provide improved toilet and kitchen facilities and a small meeting room and storage room to the rear.
Structurally the original building remains mainly unchanged. The original building has been rendered with damp proofing installed and the front main entrance altered when the stage was constructed.
The main building is now showing its age and problems with energy conservation, and consequent heating costs, are recognised and require action. Associated with the energy conservation are the remedial works required to deal with dampness to the walls.
Options
The Committee considered 3 options:
The option chosen was to retain the existing building and carry out improvement works.
Decision Process
The considerations taken into account for each of the options was as follows:
To demolish and rebuild on the current site.
To sell the building and use the funds to build on a new site.
To retain and improve the existing Village Hall,
