All Saints Church Hall, with its precious green space and wonderfully tranquil setting, was designed to meet the needs of the time. It has served the congregation and local community well, but now needs a radical facelift to bring it up to modern day standards. We plan to streamline the space; insulate and improve energy efficiency, and open the hall up to the outside space so that it becomes an attractive, warm and welcoming place at the heart of life in Fulham.

The cost of making the hall fit for the 21st century is approaching £800,000. Thanks to a substantial legacy from Walter Tomlin, the PCC is able to commit £275,000 to the project from reserves. This figure is over and above what has already been invested in the planning phase. We are applying for grants that, if successful, could bring in £150,000. We aim to raise £40,000 by running corporate events at the beginning and end of building work. We have a formidable internal fund-raising target of £345K to complete the project without resorting to a bank loan. Substantial gifts will help us share the burden of the resources we have at our disposal. Some can afford to give more than others so please give as generously as you can to help us achieve our goal of securing the hall for future generations.
The refurbished hall can seat 100 comfortably for table service, and over 140 standing. There is a well-equipped kitchen and a designated bar area ideal for catering functions. Wide French doors lead onto a landscaped patio and garden, taking advantage of the rare green surroundings whilst giving extra space for larger gatherings. The hall is fully accessible for all, has ample storage space and cloakroom facilities. Two independently accessed smaller meeting rooms, with doors onto the garden, sit alongside the hall and can be used in conjunction or separately. A third, glass-doored meeting room, accessed via the stairs or via the middle room, overlooks the hall. This can be used independently or as a ‘Minstrels Gallery’ complementing use of the hall.
All Saints is an inclusive parish church, worshipping in the catholic tradition of the Church of England, that welcomes anyone, regardless of age, gender, sexuality, physical ability or ethnic background.
