Each year we strive to strike a tricky balance between charging the amount needed to keep Baden Hall open and keeping costs as low as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only additional funding we receive comes from small grants from local parish councils (which are applied for on a case by case basis to cover specific improvements as grants cannot be used to cover running costs) and donations from the public either directly or via contributions at Christmas events, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We try to keep costs as low as possible but unfortunately some of our largest expenses (insurance, electricity, gas, etc) are still significant so every penny really does count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to join us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are always on the lookout for people to join our small management committee.
