ONE DREAM; TWO DIFFERENT METHODS OF ACHIEVING IT

A charity to corporate partnership to achieve the same dream...

DREAM HERITAGE CIO (charity)

The CIO's main focus is PEOPLE & COMMUNITY, and their interaction with their local HERITAGE.

They are committed to creating opportunities, community heritage projects, community archaeological excavations & delivering events which CONNECT COMMUNITIES to their local NATURAL & HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT.

The CIO is dedicated to bringing local heritage & culture alive, through immersive experience & events, school outreach, and the production of local Children's History Books.

The charity is also devoting much of its efforts to creating a Traditional Crafts, Heritage Skills, & Youth Worker Training Centre in the North of England, to prevent our important traditional crafts & skills from being extinct, to ensure our heritage is properly maintained, conserved & repaired, to create vocational career pathways for young people, and to resource the North of England with the next generation of skilled craftspeople & youth workers who will meet the current deficit.

They are committed to creating youth clubs, experiences & resources, which hope to strengthen, upskill, inspire, and empower young people to reach their full & God-given potential!

The charity has a strong Christian ethos, seeing the great need for HOPE in today's world. They intend to work with churches and to support them to engage & support younger generations, and to create opportunities for younger generations to unite together to explore Christianity.

DREAM HERITAGE CIC (not-for-profit/community interest company)

The CIO's main focus is RESTORING HERITAGE & RE-STORYING THE CLIMATE CRISIS, by carrying out professional conservation & repair of heritage; building maintenance, repair, high-level work, & rainwater goods servicing; and professional archaeological services.

Our neighbourhoods, high streets and HERITAGE ARE AT RISK and our ENVIRONMENT is also AT RISK! This is often due to neglect, lack of maintenance, and lack of knowledge & skills for the upkeep of our built heritage. This leads to the demolition and rebuilding of buildings, which has been estimated to cost the environment 40,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per building! To SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT we must SAVE OUR BUILDINGS and retrofit, repurpose & thermally improve them, and then continue to look after them on a regular basis.

The CIC is also VERY INTERESTED IN TRANSFORMING INDIVIDUALS' LIVES & FUTURES, and are driven to create vocational career pathways & opportunities in the culture/ heritage/ environment sector for YOUNG PEOPLE, DISADVANTAGED GROUPS, & NEURODIVERGENT INDIVIDUALS. They try to creatively include the local community and these individuals in their work, where possible, and also try to create work experience and training opportunities too.

They HOPE to inspire others to be RESTORERS OF RUINS in their communities.

'They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.' Isaiah 61:4

DREAM HERITAGE CIO is an INDEPENDENT CHARITY and therefore makes decisions within its own interests, and is not restricted in any way to use the services of the CIC exclusively.

The chairty's corporate partner DREAM HERITAGE CIC is an invaluable resource to the charity, with the same goals and a wealth of experience & professional services.

DREAM HERITAGE CIC is a community interest company which is a NOT FOR PROFIT organisation, meaning that any profits made feed straight back into its work to restore heritage and into the work of the charity, DREAM HERITAGE CIO.
