Our trustees

The Riding Mill Village Halls are cared for by a small team of volunteer trustees – local people who love this village and want to see our halls thrive. We manage these buildings and support our communities to make sure there’s always a local place for everyone to meet, celebrate, learn and have fun.

Our wider team

The halls couldn’t run without the support of many other volunteers – from helping with events, gardening, or maintenance, to sharing skills and knowledge when needed. They may not be trustees, but they’re every bit as important in keeping the halls alive and welcoming. Thank you!

Get involved

If you love community, creativity and working with people, we’d love to hear from you. There are lots of ways to help:

Support events or maintenance
Offer skills, advice, or just some time
Become a Trustee

Being involved is a great way to meet people, give back, and help keep Riding Mill Village Halls at the heart of village life.
