Although our premises are used a great deal by groups associated with our church, where possible we are always glad to help local community groups by providing accommodation for their activities.
All our rooms have disabled access with the exception of our Upper Hall.
Please note that the use of alcohol on Methodist premises is not allowed under any circumstances.
When considering letting the church or it's premises, where use will involve children, young people or vulnerable adults, the following clause will be added to the letting agreement:
"the hirers will confirm that they are familiar with the Home Office Code of Practice Safe from Harm, have an understanding of it and undertake to follow the code of Practice contained therein in relation to work with children and young people"
The letting officer will ensure hirers have their own safeguarding policy and provide a copy for church retention or they adopt the policy of the Church and sign the users declaration Safeguarding Form E.
Our Safeguarding Policy can be viewed here.
