Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The objects of the CIO are to establish and run a village hall and to promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Parish of Scole (“area of benefit”) without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, race or political, religious or other opinions the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The activities of the CIO over the reporting period remained significantly impacted by the pandemic, but continue to be focussed on the initial and required procedures for establishing the village hall. Changes in funding priorities at local and national levels also impacted funding applications, but during the year the Trustees worked closely with officers of South Norfolk District Council to explore opportunities for in particular District and County Council funding, alongside other sources. Discussions continued between The Charity and Parish Council regarding obtaining a long lease for the land from the Parish Council. Although agreed in principle, significant delays were encountered during drawing up the legal documents due to disagreements between the legal representatives of the Parish Council and Charity. Following discussions to break the deadlock between the chair of the Parish Council and Secretary of the Scole Parish Hub, a final lease agreement is likely to be approved by both parties early in 2023. |

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 | The Scole Parish Hub CIO is not long established, and until its first objective is fulfilled (i.e. building of village hall) is clearly limited in terms of the benefits it can provide to the local community or society as a whole. The main achievements of the charity over the first reporting period are: 1. Continued discussion with interested parties including Scole Parish Council and the local community concerning the proposed format and function of the building, in the light of changing priorities and provision of other local facilities following the pandemic and worsening national financial position. This included a very successful open meeting for all residents and interested parties where the CIOs’s current plans were displayed and discussed. 2. In the light of the above, obtaining revised plans and building costs estimates 3. Obtaining legal advice regarding the proposed lease with Scole Parish Council for the land on which the village hall will be built |
(and which is legally designated for this purpose). Lengthy discussions with our solicitors and the Parish Council regarding the precise format of the lease. Finally agreeing terms for a long-term lease with pepper-corn rent towards the end of 2022, with formal approval likely early in 2023. 4. Continued discussions with local and national funding agencies, though formal applications cannot be made until lease of the land is signed off.
