This is an important conference for anyone who is involved with a community building whether it is a Village Hall, Community Centre, Scout Hut, Bowls Club or Sports Pavilion.
Saturday 28th March 2015, 10am – 2pm
at Debenham Community Centre, Gracechurch Street, Debenham IP14 6BL
It will be an informative and interactive event with top speakers, a very relevant case study, a networking lunch and workshops. There will be time to talk to funders, specialists, advisors, suppliers and other village hall trustees.
