Lettings Policy
The Association runs the Community Centre for the benefit
of Creekmoor residents; our lettings policy aims to balance…
- making money to fund projects,
- covering the costs of developing and maintaining
the Centre, and
- meeting as much demand from local residents as
we can.
In letting out the Community Centre we have to respect
the terms of our lease, the fact that we are a local charity, and the character
of the buildings. This means that...
- We cannot let out the buildings to political parties
or religious organisations unless the events are confined to social occasions
for members of those organisations. The Centre cannot be used for political
or religious rallies or recruitment.
- We must retain the right to accept only bookings
for activity and organisations that fit with the aims of the charity, and
that do not put the Association at risk of contravening Charity Commission
rules and guidelines.
- We will accept bookings for activities that suit
the nature of the buildings, and do not pose an obvious risk to the fabric,
fixtures, and fittings.
- We have a wish and an obligation to be 'good citizens'
and we retain the right to not accept bookings for, or to terminate an agreement
with, any hirer that in our view puts our good name at risk.
- We will not discriminate on grounds of race, nationality,
gender, sexual orientation, disability, spiritual beliefs, or age.
- We will at all times aim to take only bookings that
have an obvious benefit to the local community, and which have local participation.
