Elmbridge Community Eco Hub
Studio Terms and Conditions of hire and use
This document is the agreement between you and the Elmbridge Community Eco Hub CIC. Hopefully you’ll find it also contains all the practical information you need to make your use of the Studio a success.
The Eco Hub is run by volunteers, and we look forward to working with you; we’d like you and the people you invite to enjoy the experience and come back to try other Hub initiatives! We don’t have on-site assistance for the Studio other than during our opening hours, so please read these notes before you use it, so you can ask any questions in advance! You are responsible for supervising everyone in your group whilst they are at The Hub. The Studio is not available for children’s or other kinds of parties.
Cost
We charge £15 per hour for use of the Studio. This is our introductory rate, which we will review in February 2026. We want to provide great value and help raise funds that sustain The Hub. You will be sent an invoice by email with our BACS payment details. You must pay within 30 days of your booking using the reference provided on the invoice.
Before you start
Please ensure you have shown your group’s public liability insurance to a Duty Manager at The Hub before your hire date. Depending on the purpose of your boking you may also need to prepare a risk assessment, have a safeguarding lead and a first aider available.
Security and Safety
The Hub car park and main gate can be accessed by opening a combination lock. We’ll give you the combination before your session. Please do not share the combination with others. Unlock the gates on arrival (if you leave the padlock on the gates, please mix up the code).
The car park is also a public right of way – people walk through to get to local schools and the park. Please be careful when parking, as there may be children walking through.
The Hub has security cameras that record external activity.
If there is a fire or other emergency, evacuate to the car park and raise the alarm by dialling 999.
Please do not smoke anywhere on the site or use any naked flames (includes candles).
Equipment
There’s a computer in the Studio which you can use. You can also use the Samsung interactive screen and dvd player.
The room has plentiful lighting, including colourful wall mounted LED lights.
There mayl be some chairs and tables in the Studio, and there are extras in the outside shed if you need them. The shed lock code is the same as the external gates.
Leaving
Please leave the Studio as you found it, and take all waste home with you.
Check you and your guests have left nothing behind!
If you have used extra chairs or tables from the shed, please pop them back, and lock up.
