***Help Revitalize Fordell Community Hall: Your Support Matters***

Have you or your family celebrated wedding receptions, milestone birthdays, school prizegivings, playgroup sessions or other community events at the Fordell Hall? Your cherished memories can continue—now we need your help to preserve this vital community hub.

The Fordell Community Hall is a cherished cornerstone of our community, standing strong since 1926. This historic hall is at a critical juncture, meeting only 15 percent of the new building standard. Almost $200,000 is needed to strengthen and revamp the hall, with the Rural Halls Trust asking the Whanganui District Council for $85,000 towards the $228,214 project. Despite our best efforts, there remains a shortfall. Our committee has dedicated all our savings to this project.

**Why Your Donation Matters**

Your contribution can make a real difference. By donating, you’re not just preserving a historic building; you’re ensuring Fordell Hall remains a vibrant community hub for school events, playgroup sessions, and gatherings.

**Join Us in This Journey**

Your generosity will directly impact those who rely on this hall, fostering a stronger community. Together, we can bring this historic hall up to modern standards and ensure it serves future generations.

**Donate today and help preserve our community’s heritage.**
