£500 boost for north Cumbrian community hall

A volunteer-run community hall serving rural communities near Carlisle is set to benefit from a £500 grant from Stagecoach.

Beaumont Parish Hall, on Stagecoach’s Route 93 and serving a parish of around 500 residents across five villages, has received the funding to support its ongoing reconstruction project.

The hall is being rebuilt to replace the original prefabricated structure dating back to 1947, with completion expected soon.

The Stagecoach funding will contribute towards the installation of a new automatic, step-free front door.

With £3,000 already pledged, the project is now working to raise the remaining £8,000 needed to deliver the upgrade.

The improved entrance will transform access for people with limited mobility, older residents and parents with pushchairs.

As a central hub for local life, Beaumont Parish Hall provides a vital space for events, clubs and community programmes, supporting both residents and visitors across the area.

Peter Goulston, of Beaumont Parish Hall Committee, said: “This support from Stagecoach is a significant boost to our fundraising efforts and brings us closer to delivering a fully accessible community space.

“The new entrance will make a real difference to many people across our villages, ensuring everyone can take part in the activities and opportunities the hall provides.”

Tom Waterhouse, managing director of Stagecoach Cumbria and Lancashire, said: “Our Giving For Good Community Fund is designed to support grassroots projects that make a tangible difference to local people.

“Beaumont Parish Hall plays an important role at the heart of its community, and this project will help ensure it remains accessible and welcoming for everyone. We’re pleased to support its redevelopment and the positive impact it will have for years to come.”
