The charity has developed a robust Policy and has made a conscious effort to ensure adequate safeguarding training and awareness of coaches and athletes. Trustees are also made aware of these policies.

- There has been a relationship change with two of our trustees who now own property together and live as a couple, this year they had a baby which is why there was a reduction in operational activity.
