Stansted Airport Awards Molehill Green Village Hall with £30,000
Over the last 4 years Molehill Green Village Hall have been raising funds to renovate the Village Hall so that the residents of Takeley have a functioning community hub for all.
Over the last 2/3 years the trustees have worked hard to obtain funding to make upgrades to the building, however the trustees have struggled to raise funds to make necessary large upgrades to the building.
The electrics and plumbing in the building need completely replacing, however the cost of the electrics is around £25,000 and plumbing is estimated around £30,000.
In September 2024, the trustees bid for the Stansted Airport community grant, where we could apply for up to £50,000. The trustees entered an application requesting £25,000 for upgrading the electrics. In December we enjoyed a site visit with Dan from Stansted and on the 18th December 2024 the panel met to make their decision.
We have been extremely lucky to be awarded £30,000 to support our cause, we are so grateful and appreciate for Stansted Airport support and we truly hope this is the start of a new relationship now and in the future. Being so close to the airport we hope when our community hub is up and running we can offer support to our community which includes Stansted.
On Monday the 12th May 2025, Jon Fowler and Dan Turpin visited us to visit our village hall and to celebrate this fantastic achievement with our amazing local Councillor Maggie Sutton. The trustees would like to thank everyone for all their support and for helping us with our dream to get the village hall open again.
Residents you may notice, our Electrician Peter and his amazing team have been working over the last few weeks to complete all the works too!
Takeley Parish Council Awarded £6,000 to Molehill Green Village Hall
On the 14th May 2025, Takeley Parish Council showed their support to our mission and agreed to fund the reconfiguration of the toilets within our building.
This is fantastic news for us, as this building work is required to enable the electrician to finish of all the electrics in that area of the building. Discussions are already underway to schedule in the works and get us one step closer to being reopen to our community!
The trustees of Molehill Green Village Hall are extremely grateful and thank Takeley Parish Council for your continued support.
