Flaxton Community Trust
Your Village Hall is managed by the Flaxton Community Trust on behalf of the community. The Trust is a charity (number 1187370) which was formed in January 2020 and brought together two charitable trusts, namely:
The Flaxton Institute was Registered in 1987 and was responsible for the management and operation of the current Hall on behalf of the community. Its funds were transferred to the Flaxton Community Trust.
The Flaxton Old School Trust was formed in 2001 to manage the proceeds from the sale of Flaxton School which had closed in August 1987. The remaining proceeds from the sale were transferred to the Flaxton Community Trust.
