Managing listed buildings – help!

Updated 1 October 2019

Our area meeting has ten meeting houses, including seven listed buildings. Most of them are in town or city centres and have 20–30 regular attenders. Almost all of the meeting houses generate income from room hire and act as community hubs. Between 20–80 groups use each building.
