Phone Buddy System Set Up by Ellingham Village Hal

Ellignham Village Hall Committee know that we all feel lonely sometimes but the Covid-19 situation has made it difficult meeting family and friends for a cuppa and a chat. Everyone misses the monthly coffee mornings for a catch up over cake. Not being able to meet in person, a “phone buddy” project is being set up to keep in touch.


If you would like a regular (or occasional) phone call, know someone in the
community who would benefit from this, or would like to be a volunteer for
this scheme then please contact either Chris Stevenson on 01665 589 298
or Eileen Duncan on 01665 589 293, or any other member of the Village
Hall Committee.

Community Consultation on Use of Windfarm Money

In 2019 Ellingham Community Trust was approached by both Ellingham Village Hall and the Church of St Maurice, Ellingham for funding towards the rebuilding of the Village Hall and refurbishment of the Church.  After extensive discussions, Trustees agreed in principle to provide funding, conditional on the community agreeing to each of the projects.

  • Ellingham Village Hall would receive a maximum of £168,000 over twelve years
  • St Maurice’s Church, Ellingham would receive £60,000 over five years

Ellingham Community Trust will continue to support the initiatives that are presently in place, at their current level including the Domestic Appliance Scheme, the Solid Fuel Scheme and the Personal Development Scheme.

Virtual Village

Ellingham Community Trust are keen to encourage the continued virtual social life you have been enjoying. Below is a message from ‘The Grahams’ about continuation of the virtual quiz.

From The Grahams:

I don’t know about you, but we are finding it all a bit confusing in terms when Lockdown ends- and what all that even means-and so we are a bit conflicted about Virtual Village, and how long we will keep these going in their present format. But we said we would one quiz a month, and one “social night” each month until Lockdown ends. We did a quiz two weeks ago, so technically it’s a social this  Sunday. But, if I am honest I think Lockdown has affected Graham and I pretty badly we now seem to be finding ourselves unable to socialize without asking loads of questions of people…normal conversation seems too difficult somehow? So lets do a  bit of a Social AND a Quiz on Sunday? Who knows, it might be our last if we can find a way of getting back into the real world very soon..

So, we will begin at 8.00PM, but any quizzing will not be starting quite at that time…because some of us will still be watching Newcastle trash Man City en route to Wembley (until about 8.15). So it’s a bit of a chat to start, then a bit of a quiz and then a bit of a debrief. Sound OK?

Same Room. Same Time. Zoom Room 780 329 6009- see you all on Sunday!
