Join the Conversation and Become a Trustee

We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to all residents and friends of our community to attend an open meeting focused on the future of our village hall. Our hall has long stood at the heart of village life—a space for celebrations, shared moments, and the weaving together of stories old and new. As we look ahead to the next decade, we are calling upon your energy, insight, and enthusiasm to help write the next chapter.

The purpose of this meeting is twofold: we seek to welcome new trustees onto our Village Hall Committee, and we wish to open a lively conversation about how our hall can best serve the evolving needs of our community over the coming ten years.

Why Become a Trustee?

Serving as a trustee is both a privilege and a responsibility. Trustees ensure the good governance of our village hall, safeguard its future, and help it flourish as a resource for everyone. Whether you are a long-term resident or have recently fallen in love with our village, your perspective is valuable. We are eager to involve individuals from all walks of life—people with a passion for community, fresh ideas for events and activities, or practical skills in administration, maintenance, fundraising, or communications.

The hall’s success is a testament to the dedication of our trustees, many of whom have served for many years new hall and old. As time moves on, however, our group of trustees is growing older, and it is vital that we now look to the future together

Shaping the Next Decade

Our world is changing, and so too are the ways we connect with one another. The coming years present new possibilities for how our hall can enhance village life. Should we expand our activities for young families? Modernise our facilities for accessibility and sustainability? Create new spaces for arts, learning, and enterprise? How can we ensure the hall remains a welcoming hub for every generation?

This is your chance to join a creative and constructive conversation. We will be gathering suggestions, hearing concerns, and exploring ideas—big and small—for what our hall could become. No idea is too ambitious, and no offer of help too modest. The future of the hall is, above all, in your hands.

Open to All

You do not need prior experience to get involved—only an interest in helping our community thrive. If you are curious about becoming a trustee, this meeting will allow you to learn about the role, ask questions, and meet existing committee members in a relaxed setting. Even if you are not seeking a formal position, we welcome your input and presence.

Meeting Details

The meeting will be held at Platt Village Hall on the 22^{nd of} October @ 8.00pm. It will be informal, and Light refreshments will be provided, and all are very welcome.

We believe that the best ideas come from collaboration. Let us work together to ensure our village hall remains a vibrant, inclusive space for all. Please join us—bring your thoughts, your questions, your hopes, and your enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing you there and shaping the future, side by side.
