WE CAN DO THIS CAMPAIGN!

Exciting news on our rebuilding programme!

We’ve raised nearly all the funds required to build our new village hall and are now ready for the final push. We need to raise the last £50,000 so are therefore launching our ‘We Can Do This’ campaign. Donations from individuals and the wider community are welcome and all support will be recorded in perpetuity within the village hall records.

There will be five categories – Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Corporate – and every donation will be gratefully received, no matter how large or small.

If you would like to give your support, you can donate (anonymously if desired) in the following ways:

Through our Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/langar-cum-barnstone-village-hall
For payments by online bank, cheque or cash, please contact our Parish Clerk for ‘How To’ details
