At Connect Fibre, building strong connections goes far beyond delivering ultra-fast broadband. We're passionate about supporting the communities we serve and investing in initiatives that make a real difference to people's everyday lives.

That's why we're proud to announce that Connect Fibre has awarded a £500 community grant to Kingsley Village Hall to help fund vital fire safety upgrades, ensuring this much-loved village hall in Staffordshire remains a safe and welcoming space for years to come.

Supporting a vital community asset

Run entirely by volunteers, Kingsley Village Hall is a cornerstone of local life, providing a space for clubs, events, celebrations and everyday community activities. Without the dedication of those who give their time to keep it running, this valued facility simply couldn't exist.

Connect Fibre also awarded Kingsley Parish Council a grant earlier this year to help fund a new, life-saving defibrillator for the local community so are delighted to continue their support. 

This grant from Connect Fibre will go towards upgrading the building's fire safety measures, including improving smoke detection throughout the hall. These essential improvements will help protect everyone who uses the space, from committee members and volunteers to the many local groups who rely on the hall week in, week out.

An essential for the safety of the community

Upgrading fire safety isn't just a box-ticking exercise, it's fundamental to keeping the hall open, safe and viable as a community facility. Early smoke detection can make all the difference in preventing a small issue from becoming a serious incident, giving volunteers and visitors peace of mind every time they walk through the doors.

By investing in these improvements, Kingsley Village Hall can continue to serve as a trusted, well-protected hub for the community, supporting the people who give so generously of their time to keep it thriving.

Because strong communities aren't just built on great connectivity, they're built on care, collaboration and support when it matters most. 💛
