Connecting communities: village halls conference

Village halls are often the heart of a community; places for people to gather, learn, access services and have fun. This one-day conference at Birnam Arts will allow people running village and community halls across Scotland to do the same – to connect, share ideas, and inspire each other.

At this conference, you’ll get to:

• Connect with fellow hall workers and volunteers; learn about how to connect with service providers and funding opportunities; discuss new ways to connect with your communities.
• Share stories, tips, and experiences; share positive experiences and celebrate the impact you’re making on your communities; share difficulties you’ve faced or are facing, problems you’ve encountered and ways to address these.
• Inspire others with creative solutions to common village hall issues; get inspired to apply for funding or investigate new income streams; feel inspired by the wonderful community-building going on in rural and urban communities across Scotland.

Sessions TBC

This is a hybrid event. When you book, you can choose to attend in-person or online. Due to the limited in-person spaces, we ask that no more than one individual attends in-person from one village or community hall. Bursaries are available to support those travelling from further afield; please complete the bursary request form via the link in the confirmation email.

If you have any questions, accessibility requirements, or need assistance booking a place, please contact us at events@scvo.scot.
