Hallmark for Community Buildings

Cambridgeshire ACRE is able to offer a healthcheck on your village hall and its management committee through the Charity Commission-recognised Hallmark quality scheme.

Hallmark promotes the delivery of effective and well managed village halls through a quality standards scheme which is backed up by a system of peer visitors. The trained peer visitors use a system of checklists to identify performance and provide an external validation of achievement.

There are three levels of Hallmark:

• Level 1 assesses whether the hall is complying with the requirements of its charitable status;
• Level 2 assesses compliance with legislative issues; and
• Level 3 examines the role of the hall in the community.

Halls accredited under Hallmark are able to use the logo on their headed paper and other literature. The scheme is also recognised by many grant funders and insurers.

Cost: Price on application.
