We achieve this thanks to the fantastic support from our committee and partner sports clubs, all of whom have put in many volunteer hours to ensure that the PARC continues to thrive in these difficult economic times. ## **1.0 Capital Projects: New Grass Football Pitches** Our two new junior size grass pitches are now well established and are due to have initial maintenance and some limited re-seeding. We are delighted to confirm that Wotton Rovers and the Foundation have secured planning permission and funding for a new grass senior 11 x11 pitch in the area adjacent to the car boot sale area. This will further extend opportunities for youth and senior football. Work should be starting in April 2023. ## **1.1** ## **Capital Projects: The New Barn** We reported last year that our major capital project was underway. Planning Permission has now been granted as we are looking at next steps. This will involve using the Persimmon funds to allow more design work to be completed and to seek tenders for the build to commence. The current budget estimate stands at circa £1.7M. The new barn will provide: - Social Hub and changing facilities for all PARC users. - Bookable space for community groups. - 100 + new parking spaces. ## **1.2 Capital Projects : Sensory Garden** Funds for this project now stand at more than £15k. WCSF Trustee Sarah Watt and her group of volunteers continue to give their huge amounts of time to deliver their vision for an accessible community garden in the heart of the PARC. There is now extensive additional planting and seating in place, a wet area, garden store and trellis screens. The form of the garden is now becoming clear. Sarah and her team would be delighted to welcome any PARC supporters who would like to give their time to this great piece of community led work. ## **1.3 Capital Projects: New 11 a side youth /seniors Grass Pitch** Thanks to the tireless work of Mike Marshall and the Wotton Rovers, planning permission and funding has been secured for the created of a new grass pitch between the boot sale area and the stream. This will allow adult sport to be played and has also been sized to permit future use by Wotton Rugby. ## **2.0** ## **Other Events** In addition to the regular Car Boot sale, the PARC continues to be used for one off events. This year we have hosted, the Cotswold Challenge running event once more, the Wotton annual fireworks display and outdoor theatre productions. If we are to build up our operational revenue, it is essential that we continue to look for partners who are looking for us to help them to host their events . It is planned to hold a fundraising dinner and dance event in the early autumn to further raise the profile of the PARC. ## **2.1 Running** Park Run continues to recover from the pandemic dip in numbers with a regular 50+ runners each Saturday . It is famous for its muddy conditions and is popular with some because of them! We are also delighted to now have a regular Junior Parkrun event each Sunday morning. This is run on a shorter course and has up to 50 young children participating each week. What an excellent way of supporting healthy living and exercise. We have been delighted to see Dave Fitzjohn stepping in as the Park Run rep on the committee after Andy stepped down. ## **3.0 Community Links /Comms** **3.1** We have made new links with a wider range of PARC users. This now includes interest from some of the regular skate park users. With the increased use of the skate park though lockdown, it is great to now have this group of users represented. We have also had help from other local groups including litter pickers and prisoner working parties form Leyhill Open Prison. Our sports club partners continue to make use of the all-weather pitches and the growth of youth talent is very exciting with the Hockey Club now having a number of youth players who have progressed to national squad recognition . A stunning outcome for a small Community Sports club. - **3.2** Website. Huge thanks go to Sarah for her persistence and patience in bring the new website forward. We have made a quantum leap forward in terms of both visual impact, club links and information. ## **4.0** ## **Fundraising** Our focus on fundraising continues and we have in the last year had positive outcomes with the Football Foundation, SDC 106 funds, and several smaller operational expenditure grants. As a volunteer led charity with no external funding all funding is crucial in supporting the day-to-day operation of the park. ## **5.0 Membership** With so much activity in the PARC, we must now widen our committee to lighten the load and prevent too much work falling on too few shoulders! 2023/24 will need to be a year of growth so that we can leverage all the amazing work done in the last 12 months. The New Barn alone, will require a lot of focus as we look to secure further funding and a design a sustainable operational model. **Simon Weston - WCSF Chair** **11[th] June[th] , 2023** CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND AND WALES Independent examiners report on the accounts Secbon A Independent ￿l￿￿er.5 Report Rèportto the trus￿ m*mbÈrs of Wotton Comrnunity Sport5 Foundatio On acth)unt5 lorthÈ yèar ènd 31W123 Chatity 1121349 Set out on paoos I to 3 atstthÈd tts Ihis I r4portto th￿ trust*Q5 Cpn my4xamin3ion oftho aCc￿ntS otth• aba arty rtho Trusn fortho yÈ1rÈnd￿ 31￿￿023.
