Kings Cliffe & Area Community Sports Project Ltd (Kings Cliffe Active) Annual Report April 2023 – March 2024
Whilst reported in the 2022-2023 Annual Report because the fundraising took place in that year the actual build and opening of the Pump Track was in August 2023 and it has proved to be a real hit amongst the local community and attracting interest from much further afield, from young children through to adults. It represents a great addition to the site.
Development of our charitable activities has been significantly aided by the establishment of a parttime Manager role. Whilst Lee O’Connor moved on he was replaced by Jodie Cesare who has carried on the good work, including plans to establish a Farmers Market monthly through the summer; regular opening of the Active Café alongside the growing Kings Cliffe United Football Club Juniors activity and piloting opening for the School finish time (with the numbers using the Play equipment). And new and different groups using the Active Café space in particular – from dance and gymnastics to arts and parents and children sessions. New activities also included a very popular Colour Run, with a definite enthusiasm for a repeat in the future; fortnightly visit to the site of the Refill Revolution.
The growth of the Football Club Juniors was the catalyst for a joint approach to the Kings Cliffe Parish Council for the establishment of some football pitches on the Village Field, just across Willow Lane from our site. The Council agreed in principle but also requested consideration of establishing a Cricket pitch too and we have been pleased to support the re-establishment of the Kings Cliffe Cricket Club including securing equipment for some junior activity. Unfortunately though progress with this project has been slow.
We were delighted to again host the annual CliffeFest and are very grateful for the donation that they make from their charitable fundraising activity. During the course of the year we were also grateful for the grant funding support from a range of organisations – Wansford & Kings Cliffe Surgery Communicare group, who supported the development of our Community Garden – a series of raised beds around the community building. Earl Fitzwilliam Charitable Trust which enabled us to pilot additional opening hours for our Active Café. A significant grant from the Football Foundation to enable us to replace our tractor and secure with it a ‘topper’ and ‘finisher’ to better support our Caretaker Kevin Howard with all his work maintaining the site in good order and the team of Football Club volunteers who cut and mark the pitches. And importantly some core funding support from North Northamptonshire Council and the Albert Hunt Trust. Finally a successful grant application and customer vote in sores with Tesco which supported our delivery of a whole summer of holiday camps in 2024.
The charity has in place a Health and Safety Policy supported by a series of Risk Assessments.
The charity continues to provide a great public benefit, especially for the community of Kings Cliffe in our rural corner of North Northamptonshire. In addition to our own activities detailed above we provide, maintain and develop the facilities which supports the broad range of sport and physical activity, community and cultural groups and clubs to deliver their activities.
