Trustees’ Report for the year ended 30 September 2022
Objectives and activities
The charity manages the playing fields, pavilion and associated facilities in the village of Cleeve, North Somerset, for the benefit of the local community. This includes:
-
facilities for cricket, football and tennis for use by local sports clubs
-
a children’s play area
-
a pavilion for use by the sports clubs and the local community, including a skittles alley
-
walking, games and general recreation
-
a Garden of Remembrance
The day-to-day running of the facilities is managed, under the general oversight of the charity’s Trustees, by Cleeve Recreation Club, which includes representatives from the trustees and each sports club.

Achievements and performance
Remaining Covid restrictions ended in February 2022, allowing the full resumption of sporting and social activities. Unfortunately this was followed a few months later by a decision by our local football team, Yatton and Cleeve United FC, to no longer use the facilities with effect from September 2022.
The trustees contacted other local teams that might be interested in using the facilities, and are pleased to confirm that Sporting Weston FC, an ambitious club looking to expand beyond their existing base at Kewstoke, started playing at the facility in the spring, with plans for a full fixture list for the 2023/24 season, and a continuing drive to involve both male and female footballers from the local community. The trustees are pleased to welcome Sporting Weston to their new home and see the facilities fully utilised, for the benefit of all.
Cricket, tennis, skittles and the children’s play area all continue to be active.
Financial Review
There was a small surplus on the current account for the year of just under £2,000, although at year end finances looked very uncertain with the prospective loss of financial contributions from Yatton and Cleeve United. Fortunately, we were able to use reserves to cover the shortfall over the winter, and longer term finances now look to be back to a sustainable footing with the arrival of Sporting Weston.
