Insurance

 This section will be updated as we receive information from Insurance Companies.

 We are sometimes asked what Insurance a Hall user might require to cover accidents which might happen to their club members when attending a club activity, either at the hall or elsewhere.

INTRODUCTION 

As all members of a hall's Management Committee are 'Trustees' in the view of the Charity Commission, we could be personally liable for some unfortunate situation at our hall.  Often, the Hall can include Trustee Indemnity cover in its general insurance policy to protect individuals, or help fight any claim against the hall.
