Broughton Village Hall is a community-focused organisation dedicated to supporting people and communities in Broughton. It provides a welcoming space where local residents can come together, fostering connection and shared activities. By nurturing a strong sense of community, it contributes to the well-being and cohesion of the area.
Established as a registered charity on 1 July 2016, Broughton Village Hall operates under a Trust Deed, with its objectives centred on the advancement of education and the provision of recreational facilities. The charity’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for the inhabitants of the United Parishes of Broughton, Glenholm, and Kilbucho in the County of Peebles and its immediate vicinity. This is achieved through various activities, including reading and recreation rooms, a library, lectures, classes, and entertainment, all aimed at promoting physical and mental training, recreation, and social, moral, and intellectual development.
The charity is managed by a committee comprising three office bearers and up to six more charity trustees. The trustees and management committee are responsible for maintaining the premises to a high standard and ensuring the hall remains a valuable resource for the community. They hold monthly meetings to discuss various aspects of running the hall, particularly maintenance, finance, and future plans. Minutes of these meetings are posted on the charity’s website, where information about Broughton Village Hall can be found, along with a booking platform.
Broughton Village Hall continues to serve as a vital hub for the local community, offering a space where residents can engage in a variety of activities that promote social interaction, learning, and personal development. By providing these facilities, the hall plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for the people in Broughton and its surrounding areas.
