The Kidston Institute is a registered charity (number 213604) which was founded by Mrs J M B Kidston by various legal documents between1902 – 1904. She also provided £1000 to provide a source of income for the upkeep of the building. The objects of the charity are to provide a village hall for the use of inhabitants of the Parish of Northaw and Cuffley for meetings, lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation.

The charity is run by a committee of management comprising seven elected members and seven members representing various local organisations.

The main activities are the provision of facilities for snooker, table tennis, a pre-school nursery and meetings. There is a designated snooker room with a full size table which is available for bookings between 09.00 and 23.00 every day. There is also a small hall which is used  Monday to Friday mornings and afternoons by the nursery school. This room is available at weekends for meetings of members. The other main use of this room at present is for home matches for the eleven table tennis teams run at the club. There are also toilets and a small kitchen.

Individual membership costs £20 per year and there are other terms for teams and functions. There are additional small charges per booking (eg £1 per hour for the snooker room).
