Thursby Parish Hall was awarded Hallmark 1 in early May 2017. Our Hall is the second community hall to have received this in our area.
The Hallmark Scheme was launched by ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England) in 2007. It 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.
Hallmark 1 covers the area of Charity administration and management.
The Hall achieved Hallmark 2 in June 2018 - the first in Cumbria. This covered the areas of Health, Safety, Security and Licences.
