However in the event of excessive cleaning or unreasonable damage (particularly deliberate acts such as graffiti or vandalism) additional charges will be made to cover the Centre's full cost of making good.
8. Bringing Own Food/Refreshments
We reserve the right to charge a £50 deposit to cover the cost of any additional cleaning required if certain food types are brought into the centre (e.g. hot food, rice dishes, cream cakes). If no additional cleaning is required, the deposit will be refunded in full. Please check with centre staff before organising your own catering.

10. Excessive noise or disturbance
The St Thomas Centre is also a base for office workers and any event that might cause a disturbance to those workers for any reason must be notified and specifically agreed beforehand. Failure to do so will result in the event being stopped. This particularly refers to the playing of loud music or creating loud noise.
11. Covid-19 risk assessment
The St Thomas Centre reviews and updates its risk assessment regularly to reflect the latest Government guidance in relation to Covid-19. However, all organisations using the centre are expected to undertake their own risk assessment.
