| 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 CIO operates Nidderdale Museum, which is open to the public for a small fee on a regular basis, so that they can be informed about the social history of Nidderdale. Talks and visits are occasionally organised. In order to become more resilient, the CIO applied for and was awarded a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This resilience project started in July 2021 and continued officially until 30 June 2024. The project included preparing documentation for submission to The Arts Council in order to achieve national accreditation. This was submitted in September 2024 and full accreditation was awarded in November 2023 |
