Village & Community Halls

With over 250 halls underpinning rural community life in Derbyshire, we have a wide variety of heritage in our community halls which range from Village Halls, Church Halls and Club Houses to former Miners' Welfare Institutes, Town Halls and Community Centres and everything in between. 

We estimate there are around 2,500 voluntary trustees with a responsibility for managing community halls across Derbyshire, who will at some point require a level of specialist support.

See the links below on our Advisory Service, Training Seminars, Publications, Conference and other services that village hall and community buildings management committees will find invaluable.

As a member of the ACRE Network, RAD is delighted to be able to offer village and community halls in Derbyshire an energy provider to find the best possible energy deals for halls. Energy costs are going to be an issue for many going following the 54% increase to the Energy Price Cap from 1 April.
