Achievements and Performance
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The Trustees have entered into a legal agreement, with an adjacent landowner, for the long-term sale of the 6.4 acre site. The sale commits the buyer to pay the CIO in instalments, as plots of land are developed and sold, over a period of time, up to a maximum period of ten years. This agreement is totally dependent on the buyer securing Planning Permission. Over the last thirty years, the various Trustees have taken legal advice and pursued legal clarification which has built up a legal debt to solicitors and accountants. This debt has been partly settled by Trustees loans. These loans must be cleared before the main purposes of the Charity can be fulfilled. |
