    Trustees and Management

    History of the Project

    1951 saw the conveyance of land from the Sayer family.  In 1953 the original building was built and used as a village hall and ex-servicemen's club for Lyng and nearby Sparham, and was registered as a charity in 1966.  

     

    By the 1990's the hall was becoming tired and a team of volunteers started fundraising for a new hall.  In 2011 a full structural survey report revealed the building was not fit for purpose, and so a new project team of dedicated volunteers started work on getting Lyng a new village hall.

    ​

    On 13th June 2017 we were incredibly pleased and proud to announce that our application to the National Lottery Community Fund was successful and our community was awarded a grant of £744,516 to build a new village hall.

    After a couple of failed attempts at Stage 1 to apply for funding from the National Lottery Community Fund in 2013 and 2014, a third application was successfully accepted at Stage 1 in November 2015.

    The original team of volunteers that started fundraising for a new hall raised over £40,000

    In 2017 we received a grant
    of £744,526 from the Big Lottery Fund
