Questionnaire 2026 | Ashford Carbonell VH

ASHFORD CARBONELL VILLAGE HALL – IMPROVING SOCIAL SPACES

CONSULTATION 2026 - QUESTIONNAIRE & PRIZE DRAW

Our Village Hall offers an active, friendly, social hub for many residents in Ashford Carbonell and further afield. ACVH Trustees have a duty of care in consulting with both members and parishioners to ensure that both, events and facilities meet a diverse range of needs.

We have received positive feedback regarding our updated foyer. This questionnaire now provides an opportunity for you to share your ideas in reviewing the social spaces i.e. The Meeting Room, Trev‘s Bar and the outdoor patio areas. A working group has been set up to explore creating a warm social space which can be even better used.

You can complete the questionnaire anonymously or provide contact details which would also enter you into our £25 prize draw. Households can complete one collective form or individual ones. Children (U18s) and vulnerable adults must use a parent/carer contact email or phone number.
