Summary of the objects of the
Charity set out in its
governing document
The Glub's trustees have given careful consideration to the relevant
guidance issued by the Charity Comfflission on public benefit:
Membership of SWCC is completely open. There is no waiting list
and the trustees believe that the subscriptions sel for each
season are affordable for the majority of the local community.
Subscriptions may be reduced or waived for those with less
rinancial means.
There is no test of skill for membership.
Membership is available to all members of the public who wish to
join.
SWCC provides facilits'es to play and practise cricket across the
entire range of cricketing ability.
•opportunities for playing cricket are only available to
members, not least because it is a requirement of the various
competitions in which SWCC takes part thal players should be
bona fide members of the club.
Notwithslanding the above, the club's main ground is made
available, free of charge, for a local Kwik Cricket league involving
local primary schools, for the 'Chance lo Shine, charity and also to

Summary of the main
achievements of the Charity
durlng the year
Saffron Walden Cricket Club is in a good place and continues lo be in a
strong a position. With 20 years since our Academy was set up in 2005,
2025 was a year to celebrate. Moving fomard there is an energy behind it
with a number of senior players and other volunteers taking on vital roles
in ter￿5 ot torward planning, sponsorship, recruitment, kit and clubhouse
management. This energy blends ambition with the club's important
charitable role as a community organisalion.
Cricket is, by ils very nature, seasonal, and clubs with histories as long as
ours will inevitably experience both good and bad seasons. After a
partiCLJlarly challenging 2024, 2025 was again a year ol mixed fortunes lor
the club:
The 1 s enjoyed a very positive season, built around excellenl team spirit
and competitive attitude throughout the campaign. The previous season's
relegation from the East Anglian Premier League inevitably led to the loss
of personnel but it also opened the door for younger players to more firmly
establish themselves at 1 s level, gaining valuable experience that bodes
well for the future. With the move of established 2s players into the 1 s, the
2s experienced a disappointing season overall, with the consistency and
consolidation of previous seasons proving difficult to achieve. There were,
however, moments of considerable promise.
The 3s delivered a solid and commendable season, finishing comfortably
in mid table of CCA Senior Division 3. Despite the inevilable challenges of
player movement, the team maintained cohesion and competitiveness
throughout the campaign with their captain leading from the front.
With availability difficulties in the higher teams having a significanl knock
on effect, the 4s struggled to be competitive at limes and were
unfortunately forced lo concede three matches. Nevertheless, the team
continues lo serve a vital role within the club structure, providing an
important opportunity for Academy players to be introduced to senior
cricket.
The Women's 1s also faced a difficult season due to availability issues.
Despite this the commitment of those involved remained strong, and the
foundations are in place for renewed participation moving forward. The
Midweek team, by contrast, enjoyed a positive season, continuing to
provide a valuable and enjoyable cricketing outlet across the club. The
Sunday and Crocus teams continue to give opportunities to a wide range
of players.
The junior level our Academy continues to thrive with numbers continuing
to recover following the loss ol members during COVID, lielding over
twenty junior teams, including 5 girls teams.
Off the field the club continues to enjoy the suptX)rt ol the local Town
Council, Cambridgeshire and Essex Cricket Boards and a wide variety of
local sponsors. We held Iwo very successful lunches for vice presidents
and supporters which attracted alrnost 200 gue*s in total.

Section E
Financial review
It is the club's intention to budget for a break even position each year.
Our unrestricted reserves therefore comprise ground machinery and
other equipment vital to the operation of the club's main ground at the
Anglo American Playing Fields and a working capital balance sufficient to
meet ongoing costs through the close season. Restricted reserves relate
lo the net cages and the development of the Nursery End.
