Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Policy on grant making | Para 1.38 | The CIO is not a grant making charity |
| Policy on social investment including program related investment |
Para 1.38 | The CIO has an account with the Market Harborough Building Society where grants were held in readiness for the shed’s construction and equipment. Any interest earned has been added to the construction and equipment fund. In December 2022 the trustees opened a bank account with Lloyds Bank to take advantage of internet banking and to streamline the financial systems. |
| Contribution made by volunteers |
Para 1.38 | The steering group of 6 members continued to meet fortnightly for an hour and half all year to progress the shed construction and development. Additionally, volunteers have gathered tools and equipment, applied for grants, and held meetings with a wide range of individuals and agencies. Once the workshop was completed, volunteers worked to decorate, to build the kitchen area, assemble tools and dust extraction equipment in order to be able to open the workshop. Volunteers stepped up again when our chair, Brian Dunn, died suddenly in August 2022, developing policies, procedures, membership policies, training manuals and training each other on the new equipment |
Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| 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 | By the end of April 2022, we had a steel building with internal walls and electrics and plumbing, with solar panels installed. Volunteers then completed the fit out and a formal soft opening was held in June 2022 with councillors from North Northants Council and Corby Town Council. Volunteers continued to work on setting up the workshop and building the complex array of power tools and dust extraction equipment. Following Brian’s death, the trustees and volunteers took stock and pressed ahead with getting the workshop functioning as we had planned. Through this period, we were able to host a range of arts and crafts masterclasses with visiting creatives, including a week-long residency in the October half term. This drew in a wider group of new members and the choice of Patchwork Pals to use the craft room as a base for their regular textiles sessions has diversified the workshop’s membership. By the end of March 2023, we had around 70 members, men and women of all ages, from Kingswood and Hazel Leys and the wider area. Members share skills and knowledge and try new tools and techniques, from sewing machines to woodworking, jewellery making to 3d printing. One of our members Andrew Carroll has made three short films that illuminate the changes that the workshop has brought to people’s lives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBRxmF5Aviw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezzrrAxjrrg&t=152s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOgwdVR6lNA Finally, we have a major new asset for Kingswood and Hazel Leys and Corby that will continue to make a difference in the years ahead. |

Para 1.47 | KHL Big Local Creative Kingswood and Hazel Leys Northamptonshire Community Foundation |

| Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted |
Para 1.46 | The CIO’s principal asset is the Workshop a purpose-built three-room steel building equipped with 16 solar panels and a wide range of woodworking, DIY, art, sewing, 3D printing and photography equipment as well as a space to prepare refreshments. Our aim is to use this asset to invest in people sharing skills, time and conversation. Members can choose to work on individual and community projects. |
| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | The principal risk is failing to attract sufficient funds either in the form of grants or through membership fees and sales of work. To date we have been reasonably successful in pursuing grant funding opportunities and delivering on our proposals to funders. We have built a strong partnership with KHL Big Local, Corby Community Arts, Made with Many, the Core Theatre, Groundwork Northants as well as working closely with North Northants Council. |
