Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main The Friends of Calverley Grounds group was largely inactive. We still achievements of the charity held funds from fund raising activity in earlier years but no membership during the year subscriptions were raised in the near, nor will we seek subscriptions in 2024-25. Last year, we applied for and received a grant from a South Eastern Water fund, available to local charities and organisations, as part of a community compensation for water supply failures in the year. We allocated the monies to a larger project which provided a ‘water bottle filling station’ adjacent to Calverley Adventure Grounds. The work was carried out last year on behalf of TWBC Parks Dept and the invoice was paid this year and appears in this year’s accounts. A small group of former committee members supported ‘Art in the Park’ which ran alongside the Puppetry Festival. This involved making air dry clay dragons, painting sunsets, printing pink flamingos and stencilling. This proved to be very popular with children and families. The trustees, together with TWBC Parks Dept, hope to find ways to reinvigorate the Friends, and to attract and encourage a new generation of supporters to carry on the valuable community activities.
