With SO MUCH going on we really really need support from our local community. It takes a lot of effort to run the village hall, let alone to organise and deliver events. Support doesn't necessarily involve becoming a Trustee or devoting lots of your time. Support can come in many ways and shapes and can be geared around your willingness, available time and family life commitments. Our involvement strategy has evolved and we're seeking support from individuals who can help in specific areas, particularly where people have specific knowledge and skill sets. Below is a snapshot of where we would welcome additional help from individuals within our community. If you feel you might be willing to at least have a conversation about helping in any of these areas we'd be grateful if you could either send us a message (in confidence) on our 'Contact Us' page or simply send a text Karen Taylor on 07734 351647.

Becoming a Trustee

Trustees have responsibility for overseeing the Village Hall charity operations. We share and split responsibilities as best we can across the team. Some trustees are able to dedicate more time than others and this isn't necessarily a problem. As a minimum we ask all Trustees to attend our monthly meeting and contribute to our strategy in support our local community.

If you might be interested in becoming a Trustee, please email (in confidence) Chair@risbyvillagehall.co.uk
