How is Amerdale Hall governed?

Amerdale Hall is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with Companies House (no. 1193881). The Hall is governed according to our 'governing document', a rulebook (also known as the CIO Foundation Constitution) which sets out the Hall's purpose, who runs it and how it is run, how trustees are appointed, etc. For more information the document is uploaded below.

What is the purpose of Amerdale Hall?

The purpose of Amerdale Hall set out in the CIO Foundation Constitution is to provide and maintain a meeting hall within the area and community of Littondale, North Yorkshire for public benefit, to provide facilities for  the advancement of education, the arts, culture, heritage, amateur, sport, recreation and other activities in the interests of promoting improvements in social welfare, conditions of life and community  cohesion.

How are funds spent?

100 percent of the funds raised by Amerdale Hall go back into the hall through projects (such as the ongoing refurbishment) and the community events held throughout the year. Our accounts are audited annually.
