Having grown up in Druids Heath i visited Manningford Hall regularly for bingo, family functions, fetes. Its also used for community lunches for the elderly, local police, citizens advice and prodh.

My family has over 50 years residence in Druids Heath and i still attend bingo on a friday and sunday where i have joined members of the community and made many friends.

Sadly over the years community spirit has changed, the council has changed its view on repairs, and now Manningford Hall is fighting for survival.

A new boiler is urgently needed as the old one has given up and the hall currently has no heating. A new one will cost £3000.

I ask you members of the community to help raise funds towards this wonderful community centre so families in Druids Heath can continue to make use of it.

Even a £1 will go a long way to help if 3000 people contribute
