KNOCKHOLT VILLAGE CENTRE COUNCIL

Registered Charity No. 265789 Knockholt Village Centre Council (KVCC) is a registered charity and is the trustee body responsible for the Village Centre which comprises the Village Hall and associated rooms and facilities. The building as a whole is on land leased from the Knockholt Parish Council and also includes Knockholt Club which leases its part of the premises from KVCC.

The membership of KVCC is made up of 5 elected representatives from the village and a trustee representative from each of the village organisations affiliated to KVCC. Thus, the trustee group comprises 14 individuals. A house committee is elected from the whole membership and is more directly responsible for the running and maintenance of the building, the hall and associated rooms. There is no responsibility for the club.

Villagers are justly proud of the village centre building which was developed over 35 years ago being built on to a structure well over 100 years old. However, in recent years the centre has begun to show its age and maintenance is starting to be a problem – there have been many instances of problems with the roofs and walls with a fair amount of rain finding its way into the building. The hall and associated rooms continue to be successfully used although the building as a whole does not have many of the modern facilities expected by hirers and it is not easily used by the disabled.
