3. Member responsibilities
As a member you are responsible for helping to keep our venue clean and tidy ie. leaving hot desks & meeting rooms as you found them, washing up your own dishes and cutlery, clearing out personal food & drink items from the shared fridge when done. It is also your responsibility to ensure you close the door behind you, leaving our co-working space properly secured. Our venue is fully monitored by CCTV which can be accessed by the on-site security team. If you ever feel unsafe in our venue, please speak to a member of staff immediately (contact details to be seen below).
Here you will find our ‘code of conduct’ policy. You are responsible for adhering to this at all times in our spaces.
Meeting Room Policy
Our meeting rooms are bookable via our app with the use of credits. Our credit system works as £1 per credit. Our small meeting rooms cost 10 credits per hour, and our large meeting room costs 15 credits per hour. Depending on the membership you choose, you will be allocated a certain number of credits per month, once these have been used you will be charged for the use of the room as explained above.
We ask that you respect the high demand for these spaces, and do not go over the allotted time that you have booked in. If you wish to have the time to set up & pack down in the space accordingly, please do allocate this within your booking. We expect all members to leave these spaces as you found them, in a clean & tidy manner.
Hot Desk Bookings Policy
If you are on a Hatch part time plan we require you to book a hot-desk each time you use the space. Bookings work on a first come first serve basis for all members on all hot-desk plans. You can book up to 1 month in advance. If you book a desk and can no longer attend your booking, please contact a member of staff. If you give reasonable notice (i.e. in the morning so the desk can be re-booked for the day) we can refund your booking or give you a credit on your account, so you can re-book for another time. If you do not let us know we will not be able to refund this.
Noise policy
Talking is permitted in our venue, we do not operate a library space. The nature of co-working is that there are often colleagues or small groups working together and we like to see this. However, please reserve longer conversations/meetings for when you have a meeting room booked. Please keep the volume of conversations to a reasonable level, as to not disrupt those who are working around you. We recommend that any phone conversations or online meetings longer than 10 minutes be taken in one of the dedicated phone booth areas or meeting rooms. Please be respectful of your fellow co-workers. If noise disruption appears to be a continuing theme this may result in termination of your contract.
Insurance Policy
Please note that whilst the doors of our co-work space remain locked and there is CCTV and security throughout the building, we are not liable for the loss or damage of any of your property and leaving this at your desk is at your own risk. We have full public liability insurance, however please make sure your items are properly insured.
