New policy for 2024

In 2024 the Rural Halls Subcommittee approved a updated Rural Halls Funding Policy,

The updated Rural Halls Funding Scheme has been designed to assist with the ongoing costs of running community halls in the rural and plains areas of Hastings. This funding is designed to cover basic ongoing operational costs acknowledging that the Rural Halls are important to the communities around them in terms of providing a venue for social and cultural events, and a focal point or meeting place for the community.

Hastings District Council currently supports 23 Rural Halls across the district.
