WELCOME

To The Hallow Village Community Group

Hallow Village Community Group is a growing body of volunteers whose aim is to make life here in one of Worcestershire's loveliest villages even better and we extend an invitation to you to help us to fulfill this aim by giving the Group your support.

The aim of the Group is to promote community activity in the village. The objectives are to involve all villagers; to look at all aspects of village life; to facilitate community events and to enhance communication and co-operation between village groups. The Group is not all about organising social events (although it does some of this) it also seeks to get things done in and around the village.
