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

|Summary of the<br>main achievements<br>of the charity,<br>identifying the<br>difference the<br>charity’s work has<br>made to the<br>circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and<br>any wider benefits to<br>society as a whole.|Para 1.20|By the end of April 2022, we had a steel building with<br>internal walls and electrics and plumbing, with solar<br>panels installed.<br>Volunteers then completed the fit out and a formal soft<br>opening was held in June 2022 with councillors from<br>North Northants Council and Corby Town Council.<br>Volunteers continued to work on setting up the<br>workshop and building the complex array of power<br>tools and dust extraction equipment.<br>Following Brian’s death, the trustees and volunteers<br>took stock and pressed ahead with getting the<br>workshop functioning as we had planned. Through this<br>period, we were able to host a range of arts and crafts<br>masterclasses with visiting creatives, including a<br>week-long residency in the October half term. This<br>drew in a wider group of new members and the choice<br>of Patchwork Pals to use the craft room as a base for<br>their regular textiles sessions has diversified the<br>workshop’s membership.<br>By the end of March 2023, we had around 70<br>members, men and women of all ages, from<br>Kingswood and Hazel Leys and the wider area.<br>Members share skills and knowledge and try new tools<br>and techniques, from sewing machines to<br>woodworking, jewellery making to 3d printing.<br>One of our members Andrew Carroll has made three<br>short films that illuminate the changes that the<br>workshop has brought to people’s lives.<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBRxmF5Aviw<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezzrrAxjrrg&t=152s<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOgwdVR6lNA<br>Finally, we have a major new asset for Kingswood and<br>Hazel Leys and Corby that will continue to make a<br>difference in the years ahead.|
