## **Thurnscoe Regeneration CIO Trustees Report to Charity Commission for the period April 2020- March 2021** Thurnscoe Regeneration CIO is the legacy organisation for Big Local Thurnscoe set up in 2018 to maintain existing legacy projects such as public art works, community events and Christmas lights, and to continue with regeneration work in the village. Whilst there is a close relationship between the CIO and Big Local Thurnscoe, they are separate bodies with different management structures. Thurnscoe Regeneration CIO has a board of 6 volunteer trustees, some but not all of whom are also members of BLT. Thurnscoe Regeneration CIO, registration number 1181134, has an independent constitution and objects, and submits annual accounts to the Charity Commission. ## **Objectives** The charitable objectives of the CIO are: The promotion for the benefit of the public of urban or rural regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation (and in particular in Thurnscoe and the surrounding area) by all or any of the following means: - the advancement of education, training or retraining, particularly among unemployed people, and providing unemployed people with work experience - the provision of housing for those who are in conditions of need and the improvement of housing in the public sector or in charitable ownership provided that such power shall not extend to relieving any local authorities or other bodies of a statutory duty to provide or improve housing - the provision of recreational facilities for the public at large or those who by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances, have need of such facilities - such other means as may from time to time be determined subject to the prior written consent of the charity commissioners for England and Wales. CIO trustees continue to consult with and respond to the needs of the local community and identify new opportunities for funding and development for the benefit of Thurnscoe residents. During this period, the final design for our flagship project, Thurnscoe Community Plaza was approved and the transfer of community assets for the land was obtained from Barnsley MBC. We also applied for planning permission for the build and a number of funding applications were submitted. ## **CIO Trustees** There are currently 6 trustees on the board of the CIO, here is a brief introduction; **Andrew Howell** : I have lived in Thurnscoe for 60 years and have family and friends who like me are proud to say that they live in Thurnscoe. Our village is a former mining community and as many I worked at the local colliery for 15 years. Those early years in Thurnscoe were what a true community really was about, I would be very proud if Thurnscoe CIO could help support people, even if only a little. Times have changed and we need to embrace this and offer help and support, being part of this is fulfilling to me. **Glennis Lingard** : I'm a resident of Thurnscoe, and have lived here for over 8 years. I am involved with the CIO as a natural progression of being a member of Big Local Thurnscoe. I also do volunteer gardening in Thurnscoe Park, and have become involved with the Ward Alliance Team. As an 'incomer' I believe Thurnscoe, although a much loved village by locals, needs some TLC - I have the time to volunteer. **Pauline Phillips** : I moved to Thurnscoe in 1972 when it was a thriving mining village and am passionate about my local community. I am now fully retired but volunteer in many areas when needed. I helped set up the Thurnscoe Park volunteer group in 2013 to ensure the local flower park is a lovely place for the local community to use. I am on the local Dearne North Ward Alliance and have been a member of Big Local Thurnscoe since it began. I agreed to be a trustee on the Thurnscoe Regeneration board as see it as a follow on from our 10 years of Big Local and another opportunity to further the Big Local legacy **Charlotte Williams** : Even though I don't live in Thurnscoe, I have worked at Station House since 2004. I love working here, it's full of amazing people, many of who have complicated lives, but they just get their head down and get on with it. When the idea of forming Thurnscoe Regeneration CIO was talked about, it didn't take much for me to say I would be a trustee. I am passionate about communities being empowered to help themselves and I know that Thurnscoe folk know what they want and have the skills to do it. I am also a bit of a Charity nerd and hope that my experience of working for a local Charity gives me some of the skills and knowledge needed to run a successful charity. **Derek Bramham:** I'm a resident of Thurnscoe, founder Trustee of Thurnscoe Regeneration CIO, Chair of Big Local Thurnscoe, Chair of Goldthorpe Town Deal Board, member of the Dearne North Ward Alliance, management member of Houghton Road Community Centre and a Thurnscoe Park volunteer. On retirement I have worked alongside other volunteers to help make Thurnscoe a 'better place to live'. **Wendy Cain** : I have lived in Thurnscoe for roughly twenty-five years. I am committed to working in the community as a volunteer and in my new role as local councillor. I am a member of the CIO as I feel a responsibility to represent the residents of the area. ## **Future Plans: Thurnscoe Community Plaza and beyond** Thurnscoe Community Plaza is our flagship 350k legacy project commissioned following lengthy public consultation. The build has been delayed significantly due to the Covid-19 pandemic but will start in the Autumn of 2021 with completion expected early 2022. The design has evolved significantly from the original skate-park model into a multi-use Community Plaza incorporating community gardens with bespoke sculpture and large public arena suitable for a variety of leisure opportunities and community events. We are working with a number of partners and stakeholders to ensure the best value possible for our community and we are on target to secure around 200k from funders including Sport England and the Barnsley 106 Fund in addition to BLT Legacy funding. The Plaza will be an enduring asset for the people of Thurnscoe and the Dearne and will be a focal point for formal and informal community events and leisure opportunities for the future. We anticipate that the Plaza will be the biggest responsibility for the CIO to manage and estimate that we will need a minimum of 5k per annum to carry out basic maintenance and cover additional liabilities. Looking to the future, the role of the CIO will become more significant as responsibilities for other projects transfer from Big Local Thurnscoe. We hope to continue to consult with residents and businesses in the Dearne to improve the built environment and green spaces of Thurnscoe as well as respond to any emerging needs.
