This funding will be used to build a new village hall to replace the current dilapidated structure, helping reduce social and rural isolation in Westhorpe and surrounding villages. It will be more accessible and provide a vital hub for social activities like carpet bowls, yoga, table tennis, quizzes and film nights, as well as more activities for different age groups. Local residents will be able to access a range of resources and information at the hall to help them support themselves as a community.
