Charitable Incorporated Organization
The Community Trust was set up with the aims of providing community recreational facilities for the people of Little Melton when the new Village Hall was built in 1990.
Friends of Little Melton Church
The Friends were formed in 1999 with the aim of raising funds to preserve this beautiful 14th Century building, a legacy to all in the village. To date, over £60,000 has been generated and spent on many projects; the renovation of wall paintings; the restoration of all the windows and repairs to the roof and tower. Membership is by annual or monthly donation with no specific limit so all funds can be gift aided if possible.
Hethersett and District Aid in Sickness Fund
The charity has been in operation for many years, and was previously known as the Hethersett Nursing Association. It continues with its work meeting needs through financial assistance in Hethersett, Ketteringham and Little Melton.
Little Poppets
Little Poppets is a stay and play group for 0-5 year olds meeting every Friday during term time.
There are a variety of toys to play with including soft play, slide, ball pit and ride on toys as well as occasional crafts. We have a dedicated baby corner where babies can have some peace and quiet away from the older ones.
Please come along and join us for a free first taster session (£2 per family thereafter). It is a great chance to meet and get to know other parents and carers from the village and nearby. Teas, coffees and snacks are included.
Oil purchasing scheme
For many years there has been a village scheme for buying heating oil. In recent years the scheme was administered by the village shop but shop changed hands at short notice in Jan 2023 and the future of the scheme was not known. Because there were only a few weeks before the planned next order date and people were asking about the scheme (it was promoted via this web page), the PC set up a replacment scheme.
Probus Club
The Club’s membership is open to retired or semi-retired professional and businessmen aged 60 or over, resident in Wymondham and District. At present over 50% of members live within, or close to, Hethersett.
