Annual Report
The CCF has had another relatively quiet year with a limited number of applications for funding and some relatively small payments. It is interesting that there have been no applications from the existing established institutions in the village over recent years. The fund was originally established to support the likes of the Church, Savill Hall, Cricket, Football, and Tennis Clubs. Whilst it is inevitable that they will require funding in time, we have supported events and initiatives which have very much focussed on our community and contributed to enhancing life and amenities in the village.
In the last year we have funded:
-
A village Coronation lunch attended by approximately 100 people
-
New mats for the indoor bowls group
-
Part funded a new activity for the Savill Hall, indoor curling
-
A new project in the village- Swift Action, providing boxes for swifts to nest in.
-
The ongoing cost of the Village Website and wine for the Community Christmas Lunch
In my view all of these are very worthwhile causes that help to bring the community together and also provide a good balance of support and CCF profile within the village.
During my time as Chairman, I have come to realise that CCF needs to be a lot more than a group of trustees who administer applications for funds. As individuals we need to ‘champion’ causes and use our knowledge and experience to provide support for projects. There is a vast amount of ‘outside’ funding available to support community projects, it can be challenging at times but having the experience and knowledge definitely helps.
I am stepping down this year as a trustee, as is required after 9 years, along with Wayne Briggs. When I joined, we were three trustees and it was before we became a registered charity, so a lot has changed. CCF is still in its formative years, but is evolving and I think adapting to the requirements of the village, whilst supporting some great causes it has to be the way forward.
I would like to thank you all for your support over the last three years and wish Barbara, as the new Chairman, and you all well for the future. I know that I am handling over to a very capable team who already have some great new ideas and I look forward to seeing CCF continue to flourish.
