ACRE's Village Halls Information and Advice Service

ACRE's Village Halls Information and Advice Service manages a £700,000 loan fund on behalf of the Countryside Agency. This fund can be a useful ingredient in constructing a funding package. It can be used for a short term bridging loan or for long term planning. The interest rate is set by the treasury on loans up to ten years, usually at a competitive rate. New loans can be repaid either quarterly or yearly, the former method reducing the interest charges payable by the hall.

The Surrey Community Building Grants Scheme

The Surrey Community Buildings Scheme is a partnership scheme jointly funded by Surrey County Council and the Surrey district/borough councils (currently Elmbridge BC, Guildford BC, Mole Valley DC, Reigate & Banstead BC, Runnymede BC, Spelthorne BC, Tandridge DC, Woking BC) and administered by Surrey Community Action. The Scheme offers capital grants to village halls, community centres and voluntary youth buildings subject to their meeting certain specified criteria.

Grants from the Scheme may be available towards the following types of project:-
· providing new community buildings
· extensions to existing buildings
· provision of disability access and facilities
· major structural work
· major refurbishment to hall, kitchens, toilets etc
· unforeseen urgent repairs such as re-wiring or re-roofing
· provision of car parking
· Special consideration will be given to applications which are made in order to comply with The Disability Discrimination Act 2004 (Part 3)

Applications for the next round will be available in April 2011 and applications will have to be submitted by the 31 August 2011 with a decision in March/April 2012. The project will have to be completed by 31 March 2013.
