02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Hermitage Hall is the only hall within Upper Liddesdale and Hermitage Community Council area. Since 1910 it has served a remote, rural community with no village. The Hall is in the process of being transferred from the unincorporated charity Hermitage Hall to the successor SCIO charity Hermitage Community Hall. The Hall is to be governed by a volunteer Board elected annually by/from inhabitants of the community. The mission of the Board is to provide/maintain a facility with guiding principles of inclusion, wellbeing, creativity, learning and sustainability. There will be a large number of community activities/events organised and held at the Hall. The Hall is also available for hire for various other events (e.g., local charity fundraisers, cycling events) and is used for community council meetings, corporate presentations, political surgeries and as a polling site. The Hall provides an external publicly available defibrillator and is the resilience centre for the local area.
