Our Role
We were appointed to undertake a comprehensive review of the organisation’s governance, business planning and development strategy to support future capital works, with an indicative project value in the range of £2–5 million.
Project Details
Our commission included the preparation of an operational and construction feasibility study and strategy report, providing a robust evidence base to inform future funding and delivery decisions.
The review addressed:
Governance structure and effectiveness
Board composition, skills and capacity
Volunteer engagement and utilisation
Identification and prioritisation of essential capital works
Operational sustainability and future use
Development strategy and delivery options
The study was informed by regular public consultation and ongoing liaison with potential funders to ensure alignment with community needs and funding expectations.
Funding & Next Steps
The work forms the precursor to a more detailed development study and the submission of an Expression of Interest to the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Key Outcomes
Clear strategic framework for future capital investment
Evidence-based feasibility and development strategy
Strengthened governance and operational planning
Fundable pathway established toward NLHF support
