Hall for Hire?
Modern Twist for Traditional Halls
Local community venues have been given a boost in their fundraising efforts this month with the launch of a new website to market and advertise their halls, www.hallsforhire.com.au
“This website brings together what I know from corporate events with my understanding of community organizations. As an event manager people are always asking advice on affordable venues and as an active member of my local community, I know that we could really do with the extra dollars that come from renting out a hall. This website provides a simple platform to list and search for appropriate spaces while bringing in much needed revenue back into community groups” said Deborah Langley, website creator.
Halls for Hire is a comprehensive directory of community halls and venues across Australia. It gives communities a place to list their hall, and users a place to find an affordable and local hall in just a few clicks.
The website was launch nationally in July and already over 100 halls have listed their details with more venues being added daily. We now invite members of the public to search for appropriate venues for business meetings, private parties, children’s play groups, weddings, performances, adult classes and all big and small of events.
"As the manager of 11 community facilities located in public housing... I’m always looking for new ways to try and get the word out. I’ve found there’s just no central way of getting the word out there that these great communal spaces are here and that yes, they’ve very much available for use! Within a community development program that runs on next to no funding, I’m always looking for ways to bring in extra revenue to put back into the program, and this is just ideal." said Josh Morshead, Former Community Facilities Manager at Port Phillip Community Group.
The aim of the website is to encourage people to use community spaces and support their local community.
