SOUTHFLEET Village Hall has received a financial boost to update the kitchen area.

Home phone, broadband and mobile provider TalkTalk will sponsor the hall for the next 12 months and donated £750 towards an improved kitchen.

The hall, in Dale Road, Southfleet, opened in 1979 and has more than 600 members.

Chairman of the management committee, Pat Morris, said: "The funds donated by TalkTalk will be used to help update the kitchen area which is in need of a refresh. 

"This will make a huge difference to everyone using the facility and we are very grateful to TalkTalk for their generous donation."

Alongside this sponsorship deal, TalkTalk is investing £50,000 in technology to bring fast, reliable broadband services to Southfleet and Istead Rise.
