Mareham le Fen Community Centre

The original village hall was built in 1919, but by the turn of the 21st
century was deemed not fit for purpose. In 2001 the local parish council set up
a new trust to take on the ownership of the hall, but also to explore options for
redevelopment, as potential sites for a new community centre were identified.
A grant and a loan came from the Parish Council was given to purchase the land and the balance came from Charity Funds.

In order to develop a new community building on the site, the trust applied to
the Big Lottery Fund’s Reaching Communities programme.

Working closely with funding specialists the trust was able to secure a grant of
£500,000 with which to develop a new community centre.

The centre was opened in 2018 and provides a large hall and community space, with smaller meeting rooms and catering facilities. The centre now hosts a range of events, classes and social gatherings.
