The purpose of the charity is to use a building leased from the county council on a peppercorn rent to provide and maintain a village hall for letting to the residents of Dorney and its neighbourhood. The charity is governed by a trust deed and is controlled by its elected trustees, who employ a manager to administer the lettings. The manager's wages are a major cost of the charity, together with cleaning of the hall and electricity. Any surplus arising on the lettings is accumulated in an interest paying savings account.
In the year ended 31st March 2025, the rental income from lettings of the hall increased by some £3,000 from the previous year and the surplus of receipts over payments was just over £2,000. Consequently, the charity remains in a strong financial position with over £67,000 in its bank accounts at the end of the year.
On 1st April 2025, Dorney Parish Council became the sole trustee of the charity.
