.GPTwi5t
C E Yorke-Brooks

Report of the Trustees
for the year ended 31 March 2025
..continued
. Related Parties
, In so far as it is complimentary to the CharIt￿S objects, it works with other local organisations and
has representation on those bodies wherever possible. This proves invaluable in maintaining strong"
links within the community
Objectives and Activities
The object of the charity is to organise, provide or assist in the organisation and provision of
-facilities Within the Lenches, which will enable and encourage pupils of schools, colleges, and other
educational establishments to play sports of all kinds. This ensurtng that due attention is given to,;
both the physical education and development of such pupils, and to the development and,
occupation of their minds.
Achievements and Performance
During the year, the charity managed the facilities and continued to foster well developed links with :.
the community and relevant sporting bodies to obtain as much usage of the facilities as possible.
Work also continued on the finalisation of the construction of an outdoor amphitheatre and.
ancillary building.
There are many who work to make the Lenches Sports and Recreation Club such a success: the
committees of each of the sporting and arts groups; Tennis, Cricket, Football, Boules, Orchard and .
Amphitheatre. Volunteers consist of the mowing team, the tree waterers, the weed sprayers, those .
keeping the site tidy, the Amphitheatre stewards, the groundsmen and women, the volunteer,:;
coaches. Additional support from those who filled the 144 slots to get Ben Selby playing tennis for...
48 hours.
Thanks go to all our supporters.
There is a huge amount going on within the Club, perhaps best exemplified by what you can see on .
a summer Friday evening: All Stars and Dynamos 4 to 11 Cricket Coaching, U13s cricket coaching,
ladies team cricket coaching and a ladies Tennis evening. Our Sports Club is buzzing with lots of
sports going for all ages. This is why the Charity was set up and the cricket and tennis sections help
to make our sports club a great place for their members with large scale community involvement.
which is exactly what our mission is.
The Amphitheatre project is mostly complete - at least in the theatre and over most of the rest of
the site. The interior of the building needs around £30K to complete - we are currently seeking ;':
grant funding for this. In this last year the Amphitheatre raised £5,500 for this sports and recreation
club and this is the just the start of what we hope will be a good revenue stream. On 22nd June
there were 250 people watching Pride and Prejudice and early profit calculations show £3,000
raised from just that one show.
With the building completed we hope to be able to host a few weddings each year whtch could also
prove to be another significant source of funds. There is also the possibility of a 9-to-5 Monday to
Friday use for the space- we are open to suggestions or potential leads.
We are planning future fundraising events following the support received for our Burns Night,
making it very successful being great fun and extremely profitable. This will be repeated on 24th
January 2026.

Report of the Trustees
for the year ended 31 March 2025
..continued
Our Auction of promises in 2022 raised £7K and we are planning a repeat event in Spring 2026. We ,
will be looking for an auction catalogue at least as good as the last one and hope there will be.:
strong support for the occasion with Tapas on offer again.
A brief report on our Sports and Arts sections reveals that the Boules section is thriving with .*:.
doubles matches most days of the week. There are singles and doubles matches planned and the ,
Boules club goes from strength to strength. Cornerstone Football Club were our winter sporting * .
tenant and they enjoyed great conditions, playing several games with varying success. We have an
enquiry from a junior football club to use our facility in the future. The Tennis Club continues to be .
the best run club with wide participation and varied offerings which now include Pickleball and.:
Cardio tennis whilst the courts are busy with mainstream tennis. The Cricket Club has two men's
team5, an U13s team, a Ladies team and coaching for 4 to 11 year olds on Friday evenings. The
Amphitheatre group has five productions booked in for the Summer months and an outdoor,tJ-
cinema event on Sunday 24th August. Their committee is still infectiously enthusiastic and":;
ambitious.
The aim of the trustees is to ensure that no-one is left out and that everyone who wants to,:;:.
participate in any of our activities is aware of what we do and has an open invitation to at least try,.
their 5POrt of choice. If all our supporters can spread the word we will achieve the best for our Club.

court resurfacing was reviewed and the Trustees have not set aside a further £3,000 this year. They ':
intend to continue to set aside the sum of £3,000 per annum in future years. as soon as possible.
Loans

These loans are repayable on demand and the individual loans are at 0%, the business loans at 1% ..
and the Bounce Back Loan at 2.5%
Reserves Policy
The Trustees will keep the level of reserves under review to ensure that the Trust will be able to .
continue its current activities. The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is
