Para 1.20 | Over the 2023-24 year the Trustees to improve the lives, education and environment of local young people in North Derbyshire. In the previous reporting year we reported that the corporation who had committed to lease us the site for 30 years would now prefer us to purchase the freehold, offering a discounted price of £75,000 to take into account the collaborative work that we have done together to safeguard the site. We previously reported that we had been unable to submit a bid to the Community Ownership Fund. Many other capital funders do not allow use of their grants for building purchase. In the period we continued to engage with the few funders that remained open to us, in order to raise the £75,000 we need to secure the building and thus be able to move our portable units on site to commence delivery of our services. |
