12M volunteer hours and over 38M cups of tea in England’s Village Halls

England’s 10,000 village halls rely on more than 12 million hours of volunteering each year to deliver their vital role at the heart of rural communities, a new survey* has revealed. In Cumbria, that’s approximately 28,000 hours from volunteers running classes and events, and on the hall management committees.

Lorrainne Smyth, Chief Executive for ACTion with Communities in Cumbria (ACT), presented results from the nationwide survey to representatives from Community Buildings and Village Halls at ACT’s joint AGM and free training event last week.
