Trustees’ Annual Report for the year from 1* June 2024 to 31° May 2025
Charity name: Kirton in Lindsey Actively Supporting Sport in the Community
Charity registration number: 1115978
Charity address: Ings Road, Kirton in Lindsey, North Lincolnshire, DN21 4BX
Objectives and Activities Our charitable objects are to provide or assist in the provision of a recreation ground, involving the construction of pitches, greens, courts, pavilions, changing facilities and associated amenities. This is for the purpose of providing recreation and leisure time occupation in the interest of social welfare, and with the object of improving the conditions of life, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Kirton in Lindsey and the neighbourhood.
In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.
Achievements and Performance
KLASSIC has continued to provide a recreation ground for the benefit of the residents and the neighbouring areas of benefit and has developed contacts with an increased number of organisations for wider recreational opportunities. KLASSIC has maintained relationships with existing users and has focused on the development of a new charitable model with the initial creation of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) by a working group of Trustee members.
. The use of the pavilion as a local vaccine hub for the community following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 has continued with the provision of both Covid & Flu boosters in conjunction with the local surgery and its patients. This work continues to increase the awareness and appreciation of the venue locally.
Financial Review
The charity has made an overall deficit of £7,953 for the year. £5,517 was spent on upgrading CCTV but a grant of £4,964 towards this was successfully applied for and received from the Police and Crime Commissioner after year end. Our finances were also boosted by having received two budgeted grants from Kirton in Lindsey Town Council which is the sole trustee in the year. The first of £3,500 received in November 2024 was held over from 2023/24 and the second of £4,000 was received in May 2025, following our 2025/26 budgeted grant application. These grants are usually one per year.
Cash held at year end is £67,700 which covers nearly 2 years’ expenditure. A formal reserves policy continues to be developed.
