Funding
Most of the running costs of the Community Centre have to be met by the letting charges. We do get a small grant from the City Council towards our staffing expenses. This explains why we are unable to provide full time staff during events etc. unlike other Community Centres which are run by the local Council. In fact we rely heavily on the work of volunteers and the help by users of the Community Centre caring for the premises and cleaning up after themselves.
From time to time we get grants from local councils to fund major improvements. We do what we can to keep the letting charges at an affordable level and want to see the Community Centre used as much as possible.
Management
The Community Centre is run by the Arbury Community Association which is a registered charity. The General Committee of the Association are the Trustees of the charity and the Management Committee of the Community Centre.
Arboretum Cafe Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Arbury Community Association and all profits are donated to the Association.
