The Charity started with only 2 years money at a time when there was a lot of dereliction around.\u00a0 It set 4 priorities for its work.<\/strong><\/p>

1. REAL TRAINING RELEVANT TO LOCAL PEOPLE.\u00a0 <\/strong>This gave rise to Pitstop the Motor training project which was built with a borrowed structure on the site of some vandalised garages.\u00a0 After 17 years this successful project was terminated suddenly by Newham Council.<\/strong><\/p>

2.\u00a0 THE ENVIRONMENT.\u00a0 A wasteland became the site of the group’s summer nature schemes which ran for several years. \u00a0The Ashburton site has since been the target of other projects and remains a nature reserve to date.<\/strong><\/p>

3.\u00a0 A NEW FACILITY.\u00a0 A burnt out community centre was left after a tower block\u2019s demolition and the idea developed that this should be rebuilt as a modern child care centre.\u00a0 <\/strong>By 2002 the CH&CTCRP had raised the required funds, built a modern child care facility (The Abrahams Nursery) and tenanted it with a charitable nursery provider.<\/strong><\/p>

4.\u00a0 St LUKE’s.\u00a0 The largest derelict asset in the area was the old St. Luke\u2019s Church. The group decided to try and acquire this much loved building and use it as a site for some of the social facilities that were needed in the area<\/strong>.\u00a0 After a long campaign St. Luke’s was obtained for \u00a31 by order of Her Majesty’s Privy Council. The Charity was able to raise European capital grants targeted on poor areas and Heritage Lottery Fund support to redevelop the building. The first tenants moved in during 1998.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>

In general the Charity has stuck to these objectives over several years and has made a success of each venture from the drawing board to the management of the new assets once built.\u00a0 By sticking to its original mandate the CH&CTCRP achieved longstanding self sustainability and was for a time a successful social developer.\u00a0 In the circumstances of today there might again be similar opportunities for long term progress.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
