Altofts Community and Sports Foundation Ltd Trustees Report and Accounts For the Year Ended 31st March 2021
Aims and Objectives
Our charity's aims, as contained in the memorandum of association, are the promoting and facilitating of health, social and community based opportunities for all residents in the wider Altofts area.
How our Activities Deliver Public Benefit
This year has seen a decreaase in the use of our facility due to two prolonged periods of enforced closure under the national lockdowns. Ironically a growing and wider number of community groups have now decided to use our facility. The facility is now being viewed locally and more widely as a significant community asset. As a Charity all profits on revenue are invested back into the facility, along with grants and donations, which has brought about a steady improvement in the overall
As a result of this growth and improvement our Charity has increasingly been able to demonstrate that our enterprise is sustainable and attractive to grant funding bodies. Over £15,000 of grants were secured in this manner. In addition, almost £20,000 was received from National and Regional funding schemes to assist similar organisations through the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery.
Key community groups that use our facility have been able to grow their membership and improve their offer to the wider community. These include:
Altofts Juniors Football Club Altofts Community Book Swap Normanton Lions Altofts Community Cycling Club Castleford Water Polo Club
Additional income from room hire to 12 community groups and classes has allowed the Charity to meet running costs and reducing some of the burden on our subsiduary trading comapny in that regard.
Main Achievements During the Year
The main achievement has been the ability to sustain the facility and the wider enterprise despite enforced closure under national direction for half of the year. Advantage was taken of that situation to undertake signifcant improvements to the facility including the installation of new fire alarm and

Financial Review
The main achievement has been the securing of a thirty lease on eight acres of public open space which surrounds our facility. It is our plan to improve this land over future years to create improved community open space and new community sports pitches.
Plans for Future Periods
Plans for future periods our focused in three areas.
Firstly, further key improvements to our facility in key areas such as security, sanitation and upgraded fixtures and fittings. These are aspects which can be funded directly through specific grants targeted at these areas. Growing usage as proof of our capability to meet the needs of a wider number of community groups is key to being successful in securing such grants. Additional improvements, which cannot be secured through grants, will need to be funded through increased trading and fund-raising.
Secondly, to provide improved community open areas and sports pitches. Our charity has secured a thirty year lease on over eight acres of public open space around our facility. This area will require securing significant levels of funding from organizations such as the Football Association and Sports England. Our proven ability to manage a community facility and the recognition of Altofts Juniors as an organization is judged to be in the top ten per cent of its kind in the country are aspects which have helped our charity develop positive initial liaison with these bodies and other agencies.
Thirdly, and the closest to the aims of our charity, is increased usage of our facility and the external land by an increased number of residents within the wider Altofts area.
