VEOLIA BID UNSUCCESSFUL
BUT "WHERE THERE'S A
WILL THERE'S A WAY"!
Tansley Village Hall Committee reports its
disappointment at hearing that its application to
Veolia Environmental Trust for a grant of £50,000 was
unsuccessful.
Tansley Village Hall's application was
one of many turned down, but Veolia gave no details as
to why. A formal letter received by the committee
implies that, owing to the number of rejections, no
further details will be forthcoming.
Commenting on the outcome, Village Hall
Committee chairman Ruth Cooper said:
"This
does feel like a setback but we all remain committed to
the project. We couldn't have got where we are today
without the tremendous support we have had from the
community; we would like to thank everyone who has
contributed, either by organising events or attending
them.
"I strongly believe in 'where
there's a will there's a way', and with that in mind we
have already identified other potential sources of
funding and are in the process of putting more
applications together. Most are for
smaller sums than the WREN and Veolia bids but they all
add up.

The Restoration
Project - Stage
One |
Stage One (Part A) of the
Village Hall Restoration Project, completed in October
2010, made the following
improvements:
- demolished, rebuilt and enlarged the
subsided toilet extension (reusing the existing facing
gritstone and most of the internal fittings), giving a
well located DDA-compliant toilet for disabled users,
two extra ladies' WCs and wash basins, a men's WC, two
urinals and wash basins. It uses skylights, rather
than windows, for natural light and strong security;
- provided a remodelled, universal
front access with a new outward-opening door (with
vision panel), a sloped approach (without steps) and a
wider internal doorway to meet fire exit safety
standards and to provide excellent access for both
wheelchair users and able-bodied people.
Stage One (Part B) of the
Village Hall Restoration Project, completed in September
2011, made the following
improvements:
- replaced the old, continually
leak-prone ground floor roof with new slates and
underfelt, renewed fascias, flashing, gutters and
downpipes (all in durable aluminium) to prevent damp,
and replaced rotten or damaged rafters;
- applied roof insulation for the first
time (to save energy);
- added skylights with self-cleaning
glass and blinds towards the rear of the main hall to
increase natural light (and save energy) and to create
a lighter and more attractive space.

ASHBY FUND AWARDS
£1,000 FOR VILLAGE HALL ROOF |
|
|
|
Derbyshire Community Foundation, from
the Ashby Fund, has awarded £1,000
towards the cost of a new ground floor roof for Tansley
Village Hall.
Village Hall Committee
Secretary Chris Knightley said: "We are very grateful to
Derbyshire Community Foundation for the £1,000 grant
(the maximum available from the Ashby Fund). This shows
continued, strong support from DCF following its
(maximum) grant of £5,000 in 2009 for the toilet and
entrance rebuilding. Despite competition from many other
funding requests, the DCF were impressed by our project,
the use made of the hall and the level of fundraising
that has been done.”

| DDDC AWARDS £3,750 TO
VILLAGE HALLFOR NEW GROUND FLOOR
ROOF |
 | |
|
Derbyshire Dales District Council (DDDC)
has awarded £3,750 towards the cost of a new
ground floor roof for Tansley Village Hall.
Village Hall Committee Secretary
Chris Knightley said: "We are very grateful to DDDC for
its continued support following its grant of
£2,000 in 2009 for the toilet and
entrance rebuilding, when other sources of funding are
so difficult to find. We are now very close to meeting
the likely cost of the new, insulated ground floor roof.
We hope that everyone will continue to support our
fundraising events as there is still a great deal more
work to the hall ahead that we need to fund."

TANSLEY PARISH COUNCIL GIVES £10,000 TO TANSLEY
VILLAGE HALL
RESTORATION |
|
In 2007, through its Village
Plan, Tansley Parish Council
pledged financial help towards the
high cost of restoring the Village Hall. In March 2009,
the Council set aside £10,000 for this purpose, as shown
on Tansley Village Hall Committee's fund-raising piggy
above. Following its meeting last Wednesday, 24th
November 2010, the Council released this money to the
Committee to help to fund the replacement of the ground
floor roof. This will complete Stage 1 of the
Restoration Project. The Council
said that it appreciates the Committee's hard work so
far in raising funds and getting the ground floor toilet
facilities and entrance rebuilt.
The
Village Hall Committee is very grateful to Tansley
Parish Council. It also looks forward to continuing help
from the community in raising the rest of the funds
needed for the roof and lots more future restoration and
modernisation work. Once the roof is replaced,
long-awaited replastering and redecoration will become
possible.

TANSLEY VILLAGE HALL WINS
£5,000 GRANT FROM DERBYSHIRE COMMUNITY
FOUNDATION
| |
|
The
Village Hall Committee has received written confirmation
of the award of £5,000 (the maximum possible grant) from
Derbyshire Community Foundation for the rebuilding and
enlargement of the toilet extension and the new, fully
accessible front entrance. This is the Village Hall
Committee's Stage 1a Restoration Project starting on
12th July, as announced in March.
Derbyshire Community
Foundation said "Despite the limited funds and strong
competition, the panel were very supportive of your
application. They felt that the Village Hall is an
important facility in the village" and is well
used."They liked that you had split the restoration work
into smaller manageable projects that the committee can
aim towards as a longer term goal."
After many applications
for larger sums, the Village Hall Committee is very
pleased and encouraged to have received this maximum
award from a Derbyshire funder. It brings the total of
awards from all external funders to £11,000. All of this
money will go towards the cost of the Stage 1a project,
this summer.
