Schools are a vital and integral part of communities. They are where our children go to learn, advancing both themselves and, in the long term, society by the application of the skills and knowledge they garner. Whilst some would put forward the hard to argue with view that it is the teachers and the pupils which achieve this rather than the building they do it in, the school buildings themselves can be just as important in the community. School Hire have, for several years, been at the forefront of ensuring that school building are made use of by members of the community in a mutually beneficial way.
School Hire facilitate schools making their halls, classrooms, fields, sporting facilities and grounds available for use by businesses, organizations and community projects. Allowing premises to be used outside of standard school hours allows for evening and weekend classes to be held at them; making them all the more an embedded part of the community they serve. This also allows for schools to create new and much needed revenue streams. This latter point is important to all involved, as the schools generate funding for their facilities in exchange for allowing something of great value to the community to be held at them.
It is virtually impossible to work out the number of people in the UK today who engage in some form of evening classes or social clubs. Whereas all agree that the number is high, only a small percentage engage in what would be considered formal further education classes. With informal groups being organized across the country, teaching, learning and sharing the experience of everything from the Albanian language to Zumba dancing, the only fact about evening classes and courses anyone knows for certain is that as many venues as possible are required to facilitate the coming together of members of the community for a shared experience.
For every school that wants to make their facilities available after hours but does not have the resources to manage doing it, there is at least one group who wants to make use of that but has no idea who to contact to arrange it. School Hire acts as the gateway for both. Their service allows schools to promote in detail what facilities and amenities they have available, whilst also providing an easy, location based, user friendly platform for people to search for the ideal venue for what they want to do.
To ensure that the schools which use their service are able to maximise the revenue stream created by making their facilities available for hire, School Hire do not work on a commission or percentage basis. The company charges a nominal annual fee in return for a detailed listing and does not impose any further charge. This is to the benefit of those making use of the facilities too, as they have the comfort and confidence of knowing that the fees they pay to hire a room or hall go directly towards the benefit of the school and the education they provide.
The services provided by School Hire are available for use across the UK. The responsive, intuitive and free to use website they have showcases the best facilities available for your needs closest to you in an easy to use and navigate way. For bringing the best options possible in ensuring that schools are fully integrated into and appreciated by the communities they serve, School Hire are proud to be of service.
