A registered charity that has provided facilities to the residents of Cricklade and surrounding district since 1933. Held in Trust and run by volunteers.
Cricklade Town Hall was built in 1933 to provide much needed facilities for the town and also as a memorial to those who died in the First World War – there is a memorial inscription over the main entrance doors and indeed the land on which the Hall has been built was first made available to the Cricklade community in 1919 by Dr W.B. Heberden for the purpose of a memorial to the men of Cricklade who fell in the 1914-1918 war.
The Hall is held in trust for the benefit of the local community and, under the terms of the Trust Deed a Management Committee is appointed to run the Hall on a day to day basis. The Management Committee are empowered to levy hiring charges, which are then used to maintain the premises.
Cricklade Town Hall is a registered charity and is not funded on a regular basis by any government body or local authority. For major projects the Management Committee apply for grants and/or rely on the support of volunteers from the local community.
