Village Halls & Community Buildings

Action in rural Sussex is part of a national network of community building advisors under the umbrella of ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England).
We support hall trustees and managers to provide welcoming, safe and accessible community spaces that meet the needs of their communities, including those most in need, whilst being financially viable and compliant with legislative and other requirements.
We offer an advisory service on an annual subscription basis which offers support to those involved in managing and operating these buildings, it is open to all trustee and management committees of village halls or community buildings across Sussex.

Sussex Community Buildings Advisory Group
The Sussex Community Buildings Advisory Group is made up of volunteers involved in running community buildings across East and West Sussex.
It works to identify key issues affecting their operation, bringing together knowledge and practical expertise to support halls in Sussex, but also to improve the funding and legislative environment for volunteer-run community buildings.
