It seeks to identify those considered suitable to provide a balance of skills and strengths. All Trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity. On appointment, Trustees are informed of their obligations and the main documents which set out the operational framework of the charity.

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurances against fraud and error. The trustees are of the opinion that the reserves and known subsequent income are sufficient for at least short to medium term financial requirements.

Charity Activities 20/21

Covid 19 impacted this years delivery however We have continued with our partnerships with local councils they are Saxilby, Bracebridge Heath and Heighington.

The community programmes continued until the covid 19 outbreak struck and we did manage to deliver some support during but this has been limited since lockdown was eased.

Across the community we also worked with Horncastle HC, Newark HC and Lindum HC to deliver regular hockey sessions within the clubs. These sessions are delivered across 4 evenings and support all 3 clubs with their development and growth. However the sessions had to be stopped during lockdown and when sessions restarted the numbers were reduced by 38% across all sessions.

No summer league activities were delivered at Lindum Sports Association this year meaning the 10 week programme that engages around 500 players weekly had impact on the delivery programme.

We were able to deliver a 6 week return to play programme at horncastle hockey club that engaged 54 participants split across 3 sessions, numbers were limited due to the group size restriction by the government. The hockey delivery team also supported a group of 20 high potential hockey players with online support.

In the community HSF also have the affiliated running club with England Athletics – Hurricane Striders this has its own committee structure with 40 attendees throughout the year. The club continued to offer support with online sessions during lockdown and have eased back into sessions as best as they can with sessions now being regular again. The group should be commended for the work they undertook during this period to ensure the club members obtained benefits.

Education continued in 2020/21 with HSF engaging with 14 schools prior to lockdown this is a huge decrease from 31 last year and the impact has seen a decrease of around 2500 children being engaged with during this academic year. We were unable to deliver any festivals for schools to attend again having a huge impact on the engagement locally.

Holiday clubs and courses continued until the lockdown and we did restart with hockey holiday camps in July 2020 however we had reduced numbers due to the restriction and only delivered for 4 hours on site.

The family fun day in August 2020 in conjunction with Heighington parish council saw a large number of families with boys days having over 30 families in attendance but these sessions were 1 hour slots pre booked and a maximum of 8 families on site at one time.

This year has been the most challenging but we feel the team have delivered the best opportunities they can within the restrictions. We look forward to returning to full delivery in 2021/22.
