The Church Hall and the Old Boys School in Braughing, owned by the Church of England have served the local community for generations, diversifying its offering over the years to keep up with local need. However, in recent years, due to dwindling income at St Mary’s Church, they are no longer able to maintain these precious community buildings and faced the prospect of closure and sale in 2022. Following significant resistance from the local community, a small group of local residents was formed to explore the options available, and the church agreed to work together to save these buildings for future generations to come. In July 2023, the Charity Commission approved an application for a new charity called Braughing Old Boys School Community Trust. Trustees are now in negotiations with the church about options for future ownership of these buildings. The trust aims to enhance, preserve, maintain and invigorate these historic buildings for the wider benefit of the community, which will serve as a gathering place for the local community and visitors to the village. Funding is required by the trust to secure the future ownership of these buildings and enable significant investment in the buildings and improve the facilities, reflecting the needs of modern day Braughing.
