Friends of HVMH
Join our community of volunteers and supporters
What is Friends of HVMH?
It is only in the last 2 years that the hall committee has decided to change its focus from being a “village hall for hire” to being a site where the woodland is its greatest asset. Since the change in focus, and the award of its regeneration grant from WREN, HVMH has started to come up with ways in which the woodland can be of greater benefit to the community.
We want to ensure the long term sustainability of the site by getting greater community buy-in. We believe that having an ongoing project and a thriving friends group will help achieve this.
The Friends of HVMH will be a group of volunteers who can carry out the ongoing maintenance and conservation work needed in the surrounding woodland.
Professional mentoring would be provided to the Friends group by one of our partners, TESP. We also hope to be awarded funding to buy some equipment and training for the friends group to ensure the long term sustainability of the project.
Some of the work may be strenuous, but we won’t ask you to do anything that you may find beyond your physical abilities. We believe that everybody can contribute in some way or another.
🌳 Woodland Conservation
Help maintain our beautiful woodland. Volunteer days are held on the first Sunday of each month, starting at 9:30am and usually finished by 1:00pm. Volunteers are welcome to come along for the whole session or just an hour or two.
These sessions are funded by The Woodland Trust Community Woodland Fund. In return for your work, you'll be rewarded with tea and snacks!
