Rebuilding our Community Hall

Parkside hall is now showing its age and requiring a great deal of expenditure on maintenance. The charity land includes the Nottingham Rooms, a smaller hall, (administered by the Town Council), and a disused netball court. The Trustees have decided that the only suitable course is to redevelop the whole site to provide a replacement hall and an enlarged car park. Obviously this is a very big project requiring a great deal of planning and fundraising. Consultations are taking place now and it is likely that a new hall will cost in the region of £500,000. As part of that fundraising effort we are appealing to the residents of Ampthill to make a donation to ensure a new hall becomes a reality. You can make a donation via the Virgin Money Giving Button below. What's more, Parkside Hall benefits from Gift Aid by donating this way:

The Town Council have committed the sum of an additional £400,000 to the project in order to kick-start the scheme and provide the community with a new Parkside Hall. With the £145,000 already allocated this now gives a good base for the Project Team to forge ahead and raise the other half a million pounds needed through grants and fundraising events. Community backing is crucial if they are to be successful, so look out for events happening that interest you and go along to support this venture.
