- It is only through grant support that the Graveney & Goodnestone Charity has been able to carry out large scale improvements.
- Financial Commitments:
- The Charity is very aware that funds are limited, and the prime responsibility is to comply with their financial commitments.
These are the annual insurance, energy charges and operational costs. Hall income is allocated to cover these costs before being used for any other purpose.
