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.

On Wednesday 27 May, we will be holding a conference aimed at those running village and community halls across Scotland. You can view more information and book your place here.

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.
