Volunteers from Cumbrian Village Halls and Community Buildings are invited to a free training event in Shap on Saturday October 17^th, organised by ACTion with Communities in Cumbria (ACT).

The event will offer advice on how Village Halls can make themselves more accessible to the whole community, ensuring everyone can make use of the building and its facilities. Workshops will look at both physical access requirements and also consider other needs people may have. A representative from the Alzheimer’s Society will be on hand to offer advice around welcoming and assisting those with dementia.
