In the charity's own words
The charity is based on the trust set up by the will of the late J. N. Fear to build a hall for the use of local people. The hall is used by local organisations who provide the running costs on the basis of usage. Community organisations are entitled to reduced rates and help in running the hall. The maintenance fund is invested in the C.O.I. fund and makes a small contribution to the running cost
