Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Over the last year the CIO has been busy sorting out its governance structure which involved carrying out a skills audit for the trustee board, launching a recruitment campaign, and recruiting trustees with key skills to the board to ensure efficient running of the organisation. In order to develop the activities to meet the objectives stated in the governing document the CIO has developed a robust fundraising strategy in order to lever funding from |
| diverse sources such as grant-making trusts, companies, foundations, and statutory sources. The organisation has developed a volunteer recruitment campaign as the organisation will initially be volunteer-led. The volunteers will help support the organisations aims and objectives. Moreover, seeking an operational venue has also been a key priority for the CEO and trustee board this year. The CEO has been busy forming relationships with partners across the statutory, public, business, arts and heritage sectors. This will enable the CIO to promote its services to a wide range of stakeholders and lever resources, capacity, share information and lever in-kind support that will be channeled to service-users. |
