• phone calls at 5% under BT standard business rate
• photocopies at 3p plus VAT per copy, irrespective of paper size

• room hire at a rate of £5 per hour, or part of an hour, for our conference room and half that rate for our smaller rooms.
• the cost of work ordered by a group and paid for by Community Base, such as the installation of a new phone extension, is charged to the group at cost.
We charge external groups two rates for using our South Wing meeting rooms - a lower rate for community and voluntary groups and a higher rate for statutory and commercial organisations. The lower rate for the conference room is £10 per hour (or part of), the higher rate £20 per hour. We charge half these rates for our smaller rooms which can only be booked by external groups when booking the conference room for the same period. Bookings by external groups must be for a minimum of three hours. Some external groups are invoiced in advance for bookings and some are invoiced quarterly in arrears.
