|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|**Over the 2022-23 year the Trustees**<br>**identified a potential building for use**<br>**and entered into lease negotiations with**<br>**the building owner, on the basis that the**<br>**CIO will be responsible for restoring the**<br>**Grade II listed building, which is in a**<br>**state of considerable disrepair.**<br>**Trustees submitted a listed building**<br>**application to the temporary**<br>**replacement and stabilisation of the**<br>**building’s roof, which had fallen in**<br>**during winter storms.**<br>**Trustees also purchased 2 mobile office**<br>**units which can be used by tenant**<br>**organisations during construction works**<br>**to the listed building, allowing the CIO to**<br>**deliver on its objectives sooner.**|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

SORP reference **Over the 2022-23 year the Trustees identified a potential building for use** 



|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|**and entered into initial negotiations with**<br>**the building owner.**<br>**The property is a Grade II listed building**<br>**of significant industrial importance in**<br>**Chesterfield and is located near to**<br>**excellent public transport services. This**<br>**will provide both a positive location as**<br>**well as a valuable community heritage**<br>**link for the works undertaken by the**<br>**CIO. The building is in a state of**<br>**considerable disrepair and the Trustees**<br>**consider that it will provide**<br>**opportunities for engaging the local**<br>**community on the history and heritage**<br>**of the building and the local area.**<br>**Additionally, work to restore the**<br>**building would provide learning and**<br>**skills opportunities for young people in**<br>**the local area – which would align with**<br>**the CIO’s objectives.**<br>**During the period, the Trustees**<br>**commissioned a consultant to survey**<br>**the structure of the building identified.**<br>**This survey helped to feed in to further**<br>**plans for making the building secure.**<br>**Additionally, a listed building**<br>**application was submitted to**<br>**Chesterfield Borough Council in**<br>**support of a temporary repair to the**<br>**roof, which had partially fallen in.**<br>**Since the building is in a state of**<br>**disrepair, Trustees authorised the**<br>**purchase of two mobile office units**<br>**which can be used as temporary space**<br>**for tenant organisations during**<br>**construction and renovation works. The**<br>**purchase of these portable buildings**<br>**also ensures that the CIO would be able**<br>**to provide space for tenant**<br>**organisations at a different location,**<br>**should the building no longer be**<br>**available to us. This purchase will allow**<br>**the CIO to deliver on its objectives**<br>**sooner.**||
