The consultancy will seek to raise finance in 3 ways.
1) Through direct donations, small, medium and large though the oisinturst.Currently it has two trustees and people can apply to become a trustee or can be invited as indeed can Patrons.
2) By equal shares in a new co-operative, (Eireannach Co-operative Society ltd, (www.oisintrust.org see Bridgits cross picture below) which although now has one thousand members will grow too many thousands and hopefully one million.
3) By consulting with financial institutions worldwide either by direct appeal or by proposal to develop projects or financial donation or funding.
the latter asks the moral question why do charities exist at all, and this is inquiry not directed at charities but at our governments and financial institutions.
The Trust Seeks to develop new ideas in architectural design and finance for a variety of building surveying projects including projects which needed to be compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, itself encapsulated by Part M of the building regulations.
Raising finance, obtaining funds is a project in itself.
Most building projects are compliant with the Building Regulations (or are supposed to be) but these regulations are only the minimum standard to be observed in developing and building a project. In Disability issues Part M of the building regulations, is the standard to be observed, yet it is also the minimum standard projects work within, as the supposed standard to reach, it is , causing standards to stagnate, albeit many projects fail this standard.
Other standards which help achieve legislation ( Disability Discrimination Act 1995) in Ireland, include for example the Equality Status act 2000 in Ireland, and best practice from the Disability rights commission now the Equality and Human Rights. The DDA 1995 although adopted by the Irish Parliament, has only been adopted in part which can lead to anomalies such as redesigning front entrances and even lobbies and halls but leaving, circulation around a building incomplete. This means that many business and domestic dwellings will pay for a design and build twice once the legislation is fully enforced.
Further new dwellings at design stage may also not fully comply with the European directives and DDA 1995 (+ newly attached directives) and also Disabled designers may not become the choice designer or architect for new projects, as such there is much which needs to be done and rethought. Architects and Surveyors with Disabilities should be employed in design work increasingly, as no matter how much any “able-bodied” designer
imagines, completes and instigates a design, they cannot imagine every need or problem arising. “Disabled” designers of course live it everyday.
Instead Irelands Disabled services have been reduced and cutback. These are announced in the media almost on a daily basis. It is the first service in the firing line, and this is also true internationally.
Children also suffer disabilities and although this consultancy seeks to help all those who are Disabled, its primary focus is for Children’s issues.
Anyone who has read the Ryan reports and Murphy reports within Ireland and reports and news items worldwide, revealing the total lack of care children have worldwide, it is clear that “our” system has completely failed and the cover up further highlights that tragic failure.
There is no shortage of people wanting to help and change matters, yet with all the best will in the world and best laid plans, without funds or finance children will continue to suffer physically and mentally and also financially.
Although we are a consultancy, we are also a charity, and the charity is named the Oisintrust, at www.oisintrust.org, as such I cannot work for financial gain within this consultancy, although for other projects I can. This will be my financial contribution.
Many people will only be able to donate one or two euro whilst others may supply millions, yet even the least well off can participate by joining the Co-operative, and its page can supply you with further details of this plan and its mutual benefits.
For children’s and disability issues, we hope to provide free schooling, schools built to sustainable eco-friendly standards, with an open and fun education policy. It could provide schooling for children with no need of charity, but it will be mixed in any case, and will be for orphans, “disabled” (in every area) and all children as listed above in the first paragraph. All funds will also provide, housing, food and recreation, and will be funded on a DEBT FREE BASIS. All assets created to be placed in trust for society. In this way no-one bears expense (even with long term maintenance) or can said to truly own and therefore control, discontinue or manipulate.
Combining design knowledge and as much money as we can raise. We need experts in Finance, Banking, International law, Children’s education and of course Disabled Access issues.
Mostly we need people who can think outside the box and who can create, and people who like to have fun, and in every area of children’s matters.
Children Worldwide need enforceable human rights. homeless, orphaned, abused, war damaged (both physically and mentally). Children are innocent; adults are responsible, whilst the world continues everyday to lie to itself around these matters.
In www.oisintrust.org and through this consultancy we will also seek to build new homes as villages, both here in Ireland and abroad. Combining, beauty, art, fun and practical design, we hope to produce spaces that children love to live within.
Money is not scarce.
