|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|To advance the practice of British pipe organ<br>building by such means as education,<br>exchange of information and publications for<br>the general benefit of the public and by<br>providing opportunities for members of the<br>public and young people to further their<br>understanding<br>capabilities,<br>competences<br>and skills in matters related to the craft;<br>To promote the preservation of the crafts<br>and traditional techniques used within British<br>pipe organ building to the highest standard,<br>recognised and awarded by the CIO in order<br>to<br>be<br>the<br>central<br>organisation<br>and<br>association within the United Kingdom for<br>continuance of the heritage and progressive<br>craft of British pipe organ building in places<br>of worship, private residencies, schools and<br>public buildings.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|Publication of a journal available to purchase<br>through our website, summarising the past<br>year’s activity and trends in British organ<br>building, alongside articles on a wide variety<br>of organ building projects undertaken and<br>other technical studies.<br>The IBO includes a level of membership<br>open to members of the public who are<br>interested in the pipe organ. This level of<br>membership is invited to all IBO meetings<br>(other than the AGM)<br>Exhibiting at events which are connected to<br>the pipe organ, such as Choir Festivals and<br>also online/inperson events with the Royal|





|||College of Organists, is an important aspect<br>of the IBO’s activities.<br>The IBO organises a number of ‘meetings’<br>for its members, at which members of the<br>public may attend as guests, in locations<br>throughout the UK where recent work on the<br>pipe organ has taken place. These venues<br>remain open during the course of our visits<br>which then often attract those members of<br>the public visiting the building at the same<br>time.<br>One of the key objectives noted above is to<br>advance education in the practise of British<br>pipe organ building; work to bring about the<br>first national apprenticeship scheme has<br>continued, with a principal aim being to<br>widen the reach to apprentices from all<br>backgrounds/geographical areas.<br>Regular training courses are also held which<br>primarily are aimed at practising members<br>and which ultimately will raise the standard<br>of the craft in the UK.<br>Another of the IBO’s objectives is to<br>preserve the craftsmanship of organ building<br>so we are active in working alongside<br>members of the public within congregations<br>throughout the UK in saving pipe organs<br>from being destroyed by helping in the<br>relocation from one venue to another (both<br>within the UK and overseas).|
