-
continuously improve the pitches and facilities offered to the member clubs

1. SUMMARY
- As acknowledged in the 2024 Annual Report, the Trustees report the sad passing of one of the Board of Trustees, Mr Neville Gray. Neville passed away peacefully on 11th March 2025 at the age of 92. As a young man Neville went to sea on the trawlers and later took up a role of radioing messages to the various trawlers in the Icelandic seas. Neville was responsible for the last message to the Gaul trawler, which tragically went missing in February 1974 in the Barents Sea off the coast of Norway, with 36 men losing their lives. Neville remained in the fishing industry throughout his working life for Boyd Line and Glenrose as an Administrator and Bookkeeper. Outside of work Neville was a leading figure in local football, his two clubs being Sunday League club Minehead Pickering and Saturday club West Ella & Willerby, member of the East Riding County Football League. Neville managed junior sides
3
and in his Under 10s had Nicky Barmby and Dean Windass, both later to become Hull City AFC legends. In later years Neville took up a position of trustee with CYPSF. Neville will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him.
No health, safety or environmental issues were reported by any of the three sporting clubs during 2025.
As reported during 2024, the trustees identified that the current Board of Trustees needs to be strengthened in the coming years. During 2024, advertising for new trustees took place by “word of mouth”, by social media and by advertising in the local press. No new trustees were identified using these methods. During Q1 2025 John Kemp contacted The HEY SMILE Foundation, a local Hull based charity, to enquire whether they could help with sourcing possible new trustees. The HEY SMILE Foundation is a collaborative that uses its skills and resources to help provide a voice and build stronger foundations to small charitable organisations within Hull & East Yorkshire. Following the circulation of a document outlining the CYPSF Trustee Role and Responsibilities with HEY SMILE, JK was contacted by Andy Barber and Ben Rozenbroek to explore whether they could help establish a new Board of Trustees to strengthen and move CYPSF forward in the coming years. In July 2025 both sides entered into a period of due diligence to explore whether the new initiative suggested by AB and BR could be beneficial to CYPSF. Initially this work was carried out on a confidential basis between AB, BR and the CYPSF trustees. The initial work done by the two parties proved to be very constructive and successful, and on 24th September 2025 JK issued a statement to the three sports clubs informing them of the potential new plans. An open Q&A session was then held with the clubs at the subsequent Club and Trustee Meeting held on 14th October 2025. At that meeting the following was outlined:
The plan over the next 6 - 9 months is to:
-
recruit and put in place a shadow board of new trustees (BR will Chair new board)
-
- convert the existing CYPSF charity into a Incorporated Charity (either a CIO or a Limited Charitable Company) which will significantly reduce the liability of the board of trustees
-
carry out a professional site survey to establish what needs doing to the existing facilities to bring them back up to good state of repair
-
- identify and approach potential new partnerships for CYPSF (eg NHS, ERYCC) * develop a masterplan for the facilities for future years to make Hilltop “best in class”. The masterplan will be developed with input from the sports clubs, current and new trustees and potential new partners
-
carry out a pitch survey to establish the maximum number of games which can be played on the current facilities

- ¢ identify where potential new grant funding can be unlocked to help improve the facilities
Establishing the new incorporated charity will be the critical path in the development plan. However, it is hoped to transfer operation from the current CYPSF board of trustees to the new board of trustees towards the end of Q2 2026.
Whilst the development work described above was progressing, day to day operation of the Foundation’s sporting facilities continued as normal. The current board of trustees continued to support the 3 sports clubs in the management of the routine daily operation of the facilities. In line with the 2024 agreement between the clubs, the first team rugby pitch was widened on the main arena.
The Cottingham Tigers committee continued to develop their plans to move to a new “single use” sports ground. Planning applications and fundraising to facilitate this move continue to be the time determining factor. There is a possibility that Cottingham Tigers could move away from Hilltop prior to the 2027 rugby season. The new board of trustees will consider and consult about whether to invite a new rugby club to the Hilltop facilities or whether to expand the operation of the other two resident sports clubs.
2. HISTORY OF COTTINGHAM YOUNG PEOPLE’S SPORTS FOUNDATION
CYPSF was formed in July 1999 by Roy Waudby and several other local business men who had a common love of sport. The initial driving force behind the formation of the Foundation was to establish a new and permanent home for Cottingham Tigers RLFC who were playing their rugby games on the local recreation ground. The Hilltop facilities were identified as a potential site since it had historically been a sports ground. The land and building were purchased by Roy Waudby and vested in the name of the original CYPSF Trustees. After renovation it became the permanent home of Cottingham Tigers RLFC. The Trustees also invited Westella and Willerby Football Club and Cottingham Cricket club to play on the facilities, thereby making CYPSF a multi sports foundation.
3. FINANCIALS
Club rents for 2025 were increased by around 7% compared with 2024. Furthermore, as agreed in 2024, the Cottingham Cricket Club rent was further increased to move closer to the annual rent paid by the other two sports clubs. The rents will be equalised in 2026.
Rent paid by the NHS for the first floor Sledmere House offices was increased by 2%.

Operating income for the year was circa £41K and the trustees delivered a small operating surplus of around £2.4K. Small savings were realised from utility consumption and insurance premiums whilst maintenance expenditure was slightly higher than budget. All other expenditure was close to budget levels.
At the end of the year, CYPSF’s cash reserves remained strong at around £25.6 K.
