Barrow Hill Memorial Hall was gifted to the communities of Barrow Hill and Hollingwood after the First World War in memory of local casualties. The building was to be held in trust to be used for the benefit of local people. Following the re-structuring of the Charity in 2017, it is still held on the original trusts.
The trustees are represented at meetings of the Active Derbyshire Partnership, the Staveley Health and Well-being Network and the Chesterfield Cultural Education Partnership.
The board developed their policies on induction and training of trustees in March 2019 and have kept these under annual review.
All trustees give their time as volunteers and receive no payment or other benefits for carrying out their duties as a trustee
