Trustee selection methods - Nomination/appointment by management committee
The charity is managed by a committee of 9 members, 7 of which are charity trustees.
We hold monthly committee meetings which are minuted. Included on the agenda are items relating to the Village Hall itself and its ongoing maintenance, improvements for the local community; events and fund raising initiatives; and progress with any funding bids where applicable. One of our three local councillors usually attends the committee meeting to offer suggestions and guidance.
