Community Buildings Support

From small village halls to larger venues serving specific community needs, community buildings come in all shapes and sizes. They include sports clubs, recreation grounds, libraries, churches, museums, family centres, youth clubs, Scout huts, theatres and concert halls, and almshouses. Whatever their size or purpose, these spaces are often at the heart of local communities. Many are kept going thanks to the dedication of volunteers who give their time to run, manage and support them.

If you’re a committee member or trustee of a community building, we can offer practical advice, guidance and support to help you feel confident in your role. 

We’ve already helped community buildings across Powys with:

  • Hirers’ agreements
  • Risk assessments
  • Policies and procedures
  • Training and development
  • Virtual discussion groups
  • Governance queries
  • Monitoring and good practice

The largest grassroots investment in almost 20 years 

In 2024/25, Powys communities benefited from the county’s largest grassroots infrastructure investment in almost 20 years, with a record £1.65 million grant managed by Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations (PAVO) between April and December 2024.

The funding supported improvements to community buildings, public toilets and sports facilities across Powys, with a focus on making local facilities more sustainable and energy efficient. Projects included solar installations, roof repairs and sustainable transport initiatives, helping community facilities remain fit for the future.
