The project is being managed and tracked through the regular reporting of the Village Hall Management Committee.

Stakeholder needs analysis

The Village Hall Project must be driven by the needs of its stakeholders, and there will be ongoing surveys and consultation with key stakeholders. Here is a document on stakeholder requirements (which will be regularly updated) produced by the Village Hall Management Committee.

Site location

The previous Committee identified nine potential sites for a village hall and associated playing fields, but have been unsuccessful in acquiring a suitable site. These sites will now be thoroughly reassessed in partnership with the planning department in Huntingdonshire District Council.

A review of the site selection activity performed to date has been undertaken by the new Village Hall Management Committee, and documented (below). This document will be regularly updated as further progress is made.

Additional funding sources

Considerable additional funding may be required, and we have enlisted to support of the Cambridgeshire ACRE organisation. Here is an overall assessment of funding sources (which will be regularly updated) undertaken by the Village Hall Management Committee.

Sources of Funding for Spaldwick Village Hall (Draft A, December 2009)

Village Hall design and costings

One of the most important early tasks is to understand the likely cost of a village hall, as this will determine our fundraising requirements as well as helping us to understand if we will be able to address most of our stakeholders' needs. We are currently considering a range of construction options, including a wooden construction. Discussions are already underway with a number of building companies.

More information will appear here.

Benchmarking information

It is important to learn as much as we can from other village halls. Here are a number of useful documents, and an overall assessment (which will be regularly updated) undertaken by the Village Hall Management Committee.
