Join the Friends of Bishopswood Village Hall

Friends of Bishopswood Village Hall

Bishopswood Village Hall is a charity with the objective of providing a facility for the local community, for the purpose of holding meetings, lectures, classes, and other forms of recreation with the aim of improving the quality of life for those in our community. The Friends of Bishopswood Village Hall is a membership organisation whose members volunteer to help deliver that objective.

Friends membership is free of charge. Members have access to exclusive events throughout the year, early notification of upcoming events, priority places for some events, entry into an annual draw, and access to the Friends volunteering website.  Membership can also provide the opportunity to gain or improve a new skill, and it’s a great way of getting to know new people and your community.

Volunteering opportunities are managed through a purpose-built website accessible from PCs, Tablets and phones, all under your own control.  Once you have created an account you can use the Friends website to volunteer to help as much or as little as you wish, there is no obligation.

The village hall is your space, why not have the satisfaction that being involved in one of our communities’ greatest assets.

Would you like a daily newspaper delivery, and before breakfast?

Following the retirement of a local delivery service, daily newspapers are being now delivered to a few houses in Bishopswood & Leys Hill early in the morning through a national company. There is flexibility with how many days you receive a delivery. If this might be of interest to you, there are details on the company website:  https://www.newsteamgroup.co.uk/   or call  01782 358998.
