Rural Halls Refurbishment Scheme
The Rural Halls Refurbishment Scheme is a pilot Scheme from DAERA (Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs) and closes on 11 June 2021.
It will provide a grant to rural community and voluntary organisations to deliver capital refurbishment works to rural halls, with the intended aim of keeping community facilities viable and to support existing rural organisations to remain sustainable and identify new volunteers.
A mandatory accredited ‘Managing your Space’ training programme will be an integral part of the Rural Halls Refurbishment Scheme.
The Scheme will target rural halls which have had limited previous investment, are under–utilised and restricted in usage.
Your project must be located in a rural area.
The Scheme will close at 3.00 pm on Friday 11 June 2021.
