Charges

St William of York Parish is run on a not for profit basis, but to assist in reducing our substantial building load, and cover essential running and maintenance costs, a donation payable to "St William's RC Parish" is normally expected. Currently these are at a minimum level of:

• The whole Parish Centre                                                   £40 per hour

• Main Hall including Kitchen for tea and coffee   £16 per hour

• Kitchen when used for catering purposes             £10 per hour

• York Room                                                                                £10 per hour

A booking for the whole of the Centre facilities will not normally be accepted for less than 3 hours. With the agreement of the Parish Priest, certain charitable organisations will be asked to make a contribution at a reduced rate or may be allowed to use the premises without contribution.

By permission of the Parish Priest or his nominated agents other individuals and organisations may use part, or all of the centre and its facilities for approved purposes when they are available, provided a booking form has been filled in, signed and lodged with the parsh office. Verbal applications to use any of the facilities must be confirmed by filling in and returning a Booking Form. For more details contact the parish office email (preferred) click here.
