| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | As with many organisations, due to COVID 19, our activities have been seriously curtailed this year, meaning that we have not been able to rent out our Playing Fields for much of this Financial year nor have we been able to hold fund-raising events. Because we have open green space, it was essential that we continue to maintain the grounds as they were being heavily used (when allowed and within government guidelines) by the public for their daily exercise and to take children out to our Children’s play area once government restrictions were lifted to allow this. Thankfully, and appreciatively, we were able to claim a government grant, which has helped us pay for the maintenance costs during this time. Looking to the future, we have started to look for architects with a view to selection for our next Development Project – building a new pavilion. This is a significant project, which will take some time to complete and will require us to seek grant funding as well as raising funds ourselves. We look forward to going back to normal operations in the next financial year – depending on COVID outcomes. |
