St George's Centre is happy to open by arrangement for groups which are permitted under government restrictions, these include;
​

• registered childcare, education or training
• ​supervised activities provided for youth groups
• providing support to a vulnerable person
• support groups of up to 15 participants – formally organised groups to provide mutual aid, therapy or any other form of support. This includes support to victims of crime, recovering addicts, new parents, people with long-term illnesses, those facing issues relating to their sexuality or gender, and those who have suffered bereavement.

To ensure the safety of all staff and customers we have listed below the precautionary measures which all visitors must comply with. 

All staff and visitors must;

• Wash their hands on arrival and regularly make use of the non-alcoholic hand gel available throughout the centre.
• Register on arrival.
• Have a temperature check on arrival.
• Wear a mask at all times when in St George’s Centre.
• Maintain a social distance of 2m where possible. 
• Follow the one-way system directed in the corridors.
• Do not attend if they have shown any symptoms of the coronavirus in the last 48 hours.
• Report to either the organiser or to the Centre staff if they are showing symptoms of the coronavirus during their visit.
• Report to either the organiser or to the Centre staff if since visiting St George’s Centre in the last 48 hours, they are now showing symptoms of the coronavirus.

St George’s Centre will also be providing the following service;

• All room layouts meet a social distance of 1.5m or more where possible.
• All rooms and communal areas are deep cleaned at the start of each meeting.
• If multiple meetings occur on the same day, we will ensure they have staggered arrival, break, and finish times to prevent traffic in communal areas.
• All rooms and communal areas have non-alcoholic hand gel available at all times.
• If a visitor arrives without a mask, a disposable face mask can be provided.
• When setting up rooms and serving refreshments and catering, all staff wash their hands thoroughly before and after serving customers.

We are delighted to be welcoming groups back to the Centre, and recognise the need to be as flexible as possible. We have therefore brought into effect a Temporary Cancellation Policy which will remain active until the business is operating at normal capacity. This temporary cancellation policy came into effect from 1st September 2020 which makes Section F of our Conditions of Letting temporarily suspended until further notice.

Temporary Cancellation Policy

In the event of a customer cancelling a booking, St George’s Centre reserves the right to charge the following costs:

• If the cancellation is made 6 days or more before the hire date: 0% of the fee.
• If the cancellation is made 5 days or fewer before the hire date: 10% of the fee.
• All non-refundable deposits have been waived, however if the cancellation meets the above requirement, St George's Centre will invoice for the cancellation fee.

In the event of a customer cancelling a booking, St George’s Centre will allow the booking to be transferred to another date at no additional charge, provided there is availability.
