Barbon Village
Hall
Welcome to
About
Barbon Village Hall is a registered charity. Its objective is to improve the conditions of life for the inhabitants of the village of Barbon and surrounding neighbourhood. The Hall is supported through income from private functions, community events, and from a proportion of the profits from the bar. This allows us to provide for the ongoing running and maintenance of the Hall and to subsidise the Hall's use by the local community. The charity makes a small surplus every year which is deployed to maintain the Hall and contributes to a prudent reserve in line with Charity Commission guidelines for regular & emergency large scale maintenance.
The charity is overseen by a committee of up to 19 trustees elected from the local community who serve in a voluntary capacity to administer the charity and manage the day to day running of the Hall. All people who live in the area are entitled to attend the AGM and those over 18 are entitled to vote. We warmly invite people to become active participants in the Village Hall and encourage those interested in becoming a Trustee, to please contact us.
