Enterprising Halls

What is ‘Enterprising Halls?

The Enterprise Halls programme will help trustees and committee members of Village Halls and other community buildings to be more effective in running and developing their hall.

WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?

Participants on Enterprising Halls will complete the programme feeling more confident and better equipped to run their hall as an 'enterprise', with ideas and advice on developing income, improving governance, developing capital projects and more. 

How is ‘Enterprising Halls’ being delivered?

Enterprising Halls is an online programme delivered via Zoom. It is a rolling programme from January 24 to end March 24.

You may attend any or all of the workshops, however, a suggested programme would be:

• 1 x 6 hour all day Bootcamp – the ‘Essentials of Running and Developing a Hall’ – various speakers – online on Zoom
• 2 x 3 hour ‘Deep Dive’ workshops – diving more deeply into topics outlined in the Essentials Bootcamp – hall participants pick two Deep Dive workshops from the menu on offer - see below.

How will the achievement of the Hall in completing the programme be recognised?

Each Hall completing 12 hours will have a framed Devon Communities Together certificate of attendance of ‘Enterprising Halls’. These can be presented to the hall by arrangement.

How much does Enterprising Halls cost?

The cost to each hall participating (any number of participants) will be £100, discounted for Members of Devon Communities Together members to £50.  Any number of people from each hall may attend any or all of the workshops.
