Fabric Update

One Oldham Fund Application

A request for further information has been completed and returned to the funder.

A condition of the grant is to obtain a Quality in Action Award from Action Together, covering:

1. Organisational Governance – How you run your group, what your aims are and how you make decisions
2. Safeguarding – How you ensure the safety of children, young people and vulnerable adults
3. Safer recruitment and staffing – How you recruit, train and supervise your staff and volunteers
4. Health and Safety – How you make sure your activities are safe and that you have things in place in case things go wrong
5. Equal Opportunities – How you make sure that you are inclusive and welcoming
6. Promotion and Partnerships – How you work with others and involve your beneficiaries in your decision making
7. Finance – How you look after your money and funding

Chairs, Armchairs & Dollies

We have agreed the chair colours. We have not yet agreed the armchair colours and material.

Sub-floor

Permission under List B has been granted to complete this work. However, we will need also to make a new application for additional elements.

Plaster Removal

Work above the Chancel Arch, Sanctuary Arch, and Organ Chamber

Currently, the total cost is £67,434.79 including architects' fees and VAT.

Without the repointing of the E. Gable, that might be in the region of £50,000

The work is not eligible for a grant from the War Memorials Trust.

An application has been made to the Diocesan Building Fund for £15,000. This must be matched four to one, but could potentially be matched with One Oldham monies; and other grants we could apply for.

Feasibility Study for Reorder

Decarbonisation Audit.

The cost would be £1,500 plus vat.

The Fabric Committee recommends:

Inviting Donations to an Energy Efficiency Fund - to be used for reducing energy use, helping us move towards financial and environmental sustainability

An application would also be made to the Duchy of Lancaster Benevolent Fund, and to local Councillors. Any further money required would be underwritten by reserves.

We hope this would generate options that would (a) reduce our carbon footprint; (b) reduce our running costs. It would strengthen grant applications.

Minor Fabric Repairs

• Disposal of Pipework and Water Heater in Kitchen
