Petrina Mayson, AirS chief executive said: “Sussex has around 450 villages and #VillageHallsWeek gives us an opportunity to thank the hundreds of voluntary charity trustees who give up their time to improve the lives of the residents of their communities.
“Just imagine how much poorer the lives of rural residents would be without these hubs of social activities on their doorsteps. The role that these community buildings play in tackling social isolation and reducing loneliness is huge and the sheer diversity of groups, activities and interests they cover is staggering.”
