The newly-formed Winchcombe Players present Death by Radio at Abbeyfields Community Centre on Saturday 11 May – a fun evening of interactive sleuthing set in WW2.  Details soon of how to buy tickets. Proceeds will go to WACH and the Players.

Meanwhile, underfloor heating has been installed at the former Methodist church and a stage has been delivered.  Ongoing work includes upgrades to electrical systems, loos and access, and a £50k grant from Enovert Community Trust will help pay for secondary glazing.

Following extensive legal work to get us through the purchase, Jon Burchfield has retired as a trustee, and Mike Hill, former construction consultant, has joined as a trustee to see us through the construction works. Still needed are trustees with experience of running arts venues, a youth trustee and volunteers to help in a wide range of roles. 

There are lots of opportunities – to get involved, email hall4winchcombe@gmail.com,  and tell us about your area of interest and expertise. Or write just to get regular updates by email.

Easy fundraising

Believe it or not, you can raise money for WACH by doing almost nothing. This is how it works:

Many online retailers – supermarkets, comparison sites, holiday booking agencies etc – give a proportion of revenue to national charities, but prefer to give them to local ones supported by their customers.

So they work with easyfundraising.org.uk which has registered Winchcombe Arts and Community Hub as a beneficiary.

All you have to do is register with easyfundraising.org.uk and every time you shop online you can raise money for WACH. And the good news is that it doesn’t cost you a penny or cause you any extra work.
