Environmental Policy

Wymondham Central Hall has three key environmental aims:

1. to minimise the use of non-renewable and environmentally-damaging resources, including
   energy
2. to maximise recycling
3. to increase awareness of environmental issue amongst all those who manage and use the
   hall

To achieve these aims:

1. It is the responsibility of all trustees, committee members, employees and all other
   volunteers associated with WCH to implement and follow this environmental policy.
2.  One member of the hall’s staff or committee will be nominated to monitor the progress of
   the hall’s environmental policy.
3. The committee will consider the hall’s environmental policy and ways in which it can be
   improved at regular intervals, and at least every 6 months
4. The hall committee and staff endeavour to ensure that all hirers and users of the hall follow
   the hall’s environmental policy wherever practical.
