The Barker-Mill Foundation has donated £4 million over the last 30 years to local charities, schools, organisations and individuals needing support. Established from funds provided by members of the Barker-Mill family in memory of their father and grandfather, Peter Barker-Mill, the Foundation makes approx. 80 donations a year to those in the areas where the family has owned land for generations.
In June 2024, Colbury Memorial Hall received a donation of £5,000 from the Barker-Mill Foundation. This funding enabled vital repairs to be carried out to the cellar pump, drains, gutters and roof to combat water ingress. The works were completed in 2024/2025 and will prevent further problems. The trustees, hall users and wider community are very thankful to the Foundation for their support and kind generosity which will keep the Hall in good repair for future generations to use and enjoy.

Ashurst and Colbury Parish Council held their Summer Fete for the first time at Colbury Memorial Hall on Saturday 6th September. Thanks to the brilliant work of everyone involved (the organisers, volunteers, stallholders, entertainers and Scouts) the event was a great success and enjoyed by all. Special thanks go to the Southampton & District Transport Heritage Trust for providing a heritage bus transport link around the village.
