The use of the premises of Staines Methodist Church, which comprises the Main Hall, Lounge and Kitchen downstairs, and the Small Hall (or Room 1), Room 2, Room 3 and Kitchen upstairs, is welcomed by the Church Council, subject to the following conditions.
Constraints: Use of the premises is subject to the approval of the Church Council who respectfully request that Rowdiness, Smoking, Consumption of Alcohol, Gambling, and the promotion of commercial interests, should not take place on the premises.
Limitations: The Church does not have a Caretaker and therefore you are responsible for your own physical arrangements of the setting out of chairs and tables, putting them back in place at the close of your meeting, and ensuring that the rooms are clean and tidy after use.
Safeguarding: It is a legal requirement of the Methodist Church that all users of the premises are aware of the document entitled "Safeguarding" relating to the care and welfare of children and young people on church premises, a copy of which is displayed on the Church Noticeboard .
Charges: In order to cover the cost of maintenance and everyday running expenses of the building. (heating, lighting, cleaning etc.), the charges for the use of the premises have been fixed in accordance with the scale of charges shown on the attached page.
Car Parking: Users are asked to note that the circle outside the church is for dropping off only, since it is needed for occasional car parking by the Minister or Officers of the Church. Parking is available nearby in the Riverside or Tothill Multi-storey Car Parks.
Church Closure: Occasionally the premises have to be used for funerals or other church functions. We try to avoid times when the premises have been booked in advance, but if this cannot be avoided then you will be informed as soon as possible, and the booking charge refunded.
