The objects of the CIO are:

To promote for the benefit of the public the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment.

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

To promote for the benefit of the public in the Kelham Island area, in partnership with the police, the protection of people and property from, and the prevention of, criminal acts.
To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.

Throughout the course of planning and managing our activities for this the organisation has very much kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.

We have developed a variety of programmes and communication tools in order to reach and appeal to as many people in the community as possible. This is an ongoing process, we are learning all the time and we are improving and increasing these year on year.

Our focus has been to address social isolation and exclusion, Summary of the main strengthening mental health and physical well-being through community activities undertaken for the team projects responding to emerging needs and requests such as public benefit in relation to nature conservation and river clean-ups, community bee-keeping, these objects (include within community litter-picks, community Christmas carols, a range of art this section the statutory projects, among many other events. declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance We actively promote an open, caring and inclusive community and we issued by the Charity keep actively in mind when we develop new activities the definition of the Commission on public Charity Commission in our mission to tackle social exclusion (“ being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one of more of the following benefit) factors: unemployment; financial hardship; youth or old age; ill health (physical or mental); substance abuse or dependency including alcohol and drugs; discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, disability, ethnic origin, religion, belief, creed, sexual orientation or gender re-assignment; poor educational or skills attainment; relationship and family breakdown; poor housing (that is housing that does not meet basic habitable standards); crime (either as a victim of crime or as an offender rehabilitating into society” ).

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The main local bridge, permanently pedestrianised in 2021 has been further developed as a community space with a range of publicly accessible events such as “Art on the Bridge”, skateboarding, and Christmas carolling around a large community Christmas tree. During 2023 working with a group of University of Sheffield Architecture students a detailed design project was undertaken with hands on community consultation over a number of weeks. This produced a multivolume design pack to develop the bridge into a permanent green space/park. KINCA commissioned professional detailed costings by a UoS recommended Quantity Surveyor, and these have been submitted to the local Council for consideration.
The Arts & Heritage Trail: this public-private partnership to tackle anti-social behaviour and enhance the public realm has continued and expanded in 2023 to include public waste bins and a community competition.
Naomi’s Corner: This continues to be one of the most popular areas for a diverse range of individuals and groups to visit, relax and socialise. It also has a community book exchange. It continues to be maintained by a local watering and weeding volunteer team from KINCA.
Community Beekeeping: this has gone from strength to strength and the number of hives has been slightly increased. Sales of the honey have made a significant contribution to the maintenance and costs of the project.
Green Kelham: this is one of our most popular programmes and has several purposes: i) to steward the river and nature running through the heart of the community, ii) to create new green spaces (we have very few being in the city centre), iii) provide an opportunity for people to get to know one another through exercise and fresh air, iv) learn new skills. Apart from continuing the existing programmes of river clean-ups, community beekeeping and developing more green spaces, we continue to develop a network of strategic and practical partnerships with a range of local and regional groups that enable us to support and develop inter-neighbourhood activities. Examples would be working with the Environment Agency and the River Stewardship Company to link up a chain of conservation and ecological projects along the River Don. This year we have also worked with Riverlution (a CIC) who bring their trainees to undertake river bank/conservation skills on our historical Norman millrace and provide free services to maintain the millrace.
“The Islander”: This is a full colour newsletter in a magazine format steered by a local residents’ team of very skilled people. It is hugely popular and contains local interviews, updates on projects, opportunities for community participation, and local news. The newsletter is funded by local council Ward Pot funds and donations.
Clean Kelham: our litter-picking project continued to be very popular throughout the year.

All our activities are steered by volunteers.
