Village and community halls handbook
This handbook is for everyone running a village or community hall in Scotland. From governance and facilities management to net zero and digital, we'll guide you through what you need to know.
Village halls are often the heart of a community. They are places for people to gather, learn, access services and have fun. Making sure they are well run and maintained is an important but not always easy role, often fulfilled by committed volunteers and workers.
We are having a one-day conference in Dunkeld & Birnam on 1 May 2024 to allow people running village and community halls across Scotland to connect, share ideas, and inspire each other.
This guidance is produced by SCVO and Community Ownership Support Service (COSS) from Development Trusts Association Scotland (DTAS), with support from Scottish Rural Network, part of the Scottish Government’s Rural Development Programme.
