OBJEcfivES AND ACTIVllES
The objects of the charity are set out in the CIOS constitution and are summarised as follows.. A
provision of a programme of artivities aimed at attracting new and retaining the interest of regular
established participants in hockey with the overall objectNe of growing participation in 5POrt,
sustaining participation through increased satisfaction and reducing drop off rates for 14-25 year
olds and providing pathways for participants to ex￿1 in hockey regardless of age, gender, ethnicity

Management of sporting facility and promotion to other sporting groups, local businesses and
community groups to participate in healthy recreation for the benefit of the community of Penzance
and surrounding areas and the promotion and access to the CIO'S clubhouse facilities to local
community, local businesses and other groups for social functions and meeting space.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
How our actlvltles deliver publle benefft
Throughout the yearthe club house is available for use by the local community. The local pigeon
club continues to use the facilities for meetings and discussions. The clubhouse is also available
for hire for social events.
There are four local football teams who hire the pitch throughout the year to train as they have no
training facilities available to them. This enables the players to continue with their fitness and skills
and train Safely unéer floodlights in the winter months whilst having use of the changing room and
shower facilities,
The availability of pitch hire also enables the local primary schoo15 to participate in hockey- based
activities ond games. This helped to give the children an insight into playing hockey on Astro turf
and became a basis for the primary & secondary league.
Summer league was organised again this year which was open to junior & senior members old &
new, parents and anyone who was keen to play. This was a window for potential recruitment of
players from the community and enhanced confidence, fitness and health.

VOLUNTEERS
Volunteer5 are an important resource. Coaches who run the Summer league and oversee teams do
so voluntarily and are affiliated to the club. Our coaches provide training sessions and we also
have qualified umpires who officiate league game5 again on a voluntary basis. Co8che5 and club
members running the groups have undertaken DBS checks.
Achievements & Performance
The men continue to run three team's in the league.
The women also now run three competitNe sides in the league.
A large percentage of the junior tournaments and leagues are held at the club on a Sunday.
All junior teams have represented the club really well giving a great account of themselves around
the county and beyond.
Some of our members go on to play representative hockey rdnging from masterfs down to the West
Panthers.
Financlal Review
The main source of income has been from the ￿ntaI of the CIOS facilitie5 Wlth additional income
from pitch hire to the local football team5 and primary hockey.
The trustees and members have taken the bold decision to tske back ownership of the club from I"
July 2025. From this time till the 30h September we have run on a volunteer basis with the mind to
appoint a manager on a self employed basis. In between these two time's we have taken the club
back and revamped.
The club charges membership fees to its members. This helps to pay for affiliation to
England Hockey, Cornwall Hockey, Verde Recreo Hockey League, West Women's Hockey League.
competition fees, coaching and umpiring courses. County Schools & Youth, DBS checks and
equipment purchased.
Membership also pays for players insurance and public liability insurance and training.
Our membership now incorporates the trdining and match fee cost. Members can pay thls as a one
off payment or spread the cost across the year.
Income has also been generated from the sale of cakes etc by the junior5.
This season also saw a big push in fundraising - each team was tasked with the aim to raise one
thousand pound5
Payments have included essential maintenance & publi¢ liability insurance for health & safety,
accountancy and legal fees, insurance for players for the forthcoming season to ensure their
wellbein& affiliation fees, competition fees, equipment purchases as well as general utilities.
Towards the end of thisfinancial year we saw a bigoutlay refitting and redecorating the clubhouse.
