Structure, Governance and Management

Constitution

The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (a SCIO). It was registered in it’s current legal form on 06 August 2014. The charity was previously an unincorporated association but changed its legal form to a SCIO. The assets of the unincorporated association were transferred to the SCIO on 06 August 2014. It has a single tier structure and as such the trustees are the members of the charity.

Appointment of trustees

The management committee, which normally meets between 6-8 times per year are the charity’s trustees. Membership of the management committee is open to all members of the local community. Trustees are elected at the AGM which is held in March. There must be a minimum of four and a maximum of twelve trustees.

Objectives and Activities

Charitable purposes

To provide a high quality facility for the use of residents of Kirkton of Skene and the surrounding community. To this end we aim to maintain the interior fabric of the hall and to keep it in a clean, safe and comfortable state for all hall users.

Activities

The Milne Hall is right at the centre of the rural community of Kirkton of Skene. The hall plays host to a wide range of regular users, while also providing an affordable venue for events and parties. Regular users include mother & baby, youth club, martial arts and aerobics.

Achievements and Performance

The management committee have successfully fund raised for many years in an attempt to maintain and upgrade the facility. In 2021 we managed to get the work completed on our new kitchen development, which means that we now have a brand new, enlarged kitchen. During 2022 we secured grants to install more energy efficient lighting and new windows. Since re-opening after the COVID shutdown, the number of both regular and occasional bookings have steadily increased and we now have a consistent income which places us in a secure financial position.

Financial Review

Our main source of funding has traditionally been income from regular hall users, supplemented by fees paid by occasional users. We were able to fund recent developments from a combination of funds raised by the committee and a variety of grants.

Plans for future period

Our next project is to revamp the front entrance of the hall and we are currently obtaining quotes to complete this work. We have also developed a relationship with NEAT (North East Arts Touring) who are supporting us to stage concerts and film shows for the local community.
