Village Halls & Community Buildings Safeguarding

Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE) has been awarded over £100k from the National Lottery Community Fund to promote good safeguarding practice to Village and Community Halls throughout England.

As a valued member of the ACRE network CDA Herts will be working with voluntary management committees across Hertfordshire to ensure they have the knowledge and confidence to operate in a safe and welcoming manner for all who work with or use their facility.
