Every village hall could be a hallmark hall

19 October 2017/in Information /by Christine Trevorrow

Having Hallmark accreditation demonstrates that a Hall’s management committee is managing its charity well.

That’s important to the individual trustees, the community as a whole and is especially poignant when it comes to potential funding.

Hallmark promotes the good management of village halls through a quality standards scheme which is supported by a system of peer visits. The main benefits of the scheme are:

  • It gives Village Hall volunteers confidence that they are running their Hall in the correct manner.
  • It provides funders and other organisations interested in Village Halls with a benchmark for well managed community facilities.
  • It is widely acknowledged by the Charity Commission and 
  • It can lead to reduced insurance premiums.

Any committees interested in moving towards accreditation should contact Lisa Chambers at Cambridgeshire ACRE.

There are three levels to the Scheme, undertaken in sequence:

Hallmark One checks charitable administration and management.

Hallmark Two checks health and safety, security and licences.

Hallmark Three checks community involvement, social awareness and forward planning.
