Arnside Educational Institute recently received level 1 on the Hallmark Scheme run by ACTion with Communities in Cumbria.

The level was achieved after a great deal of hard work undertaken by staff and members of the committee.

Hallmark is a nationally recognised quality standards scheme for the management of community buildings. Level 1 assessed whether AEI is complying with the requirements of its charitable status and AEI is now working towards Hallmark 2 which concentrates on compliance with legislative issues and plans to make this application during 2022.
