Charity Activities 21/22
Covid 19 was still impacting this years delivery however We have continued with our partnerships with local councils they are Saxilby, Bracebridge Heath and Heighington.
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.
The summer hockey league returned with a 10 week programme that engaged around 600 players weekly.
Our Hockey camps and summer academy also returned but on a lighter timetable, numbers were down around15% across the camps but the academy saw an increase of around 20% to the previous academies we had delivered prior to covid 19.
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 are meeting weekly again and continue to go from strength to strength with their delivery programme.
Education continued in 2021/22 with HSF engaging with 10 schools prior to Christmas 2021 but we decided due to staffing changed to remove the education programme from January 2021 until we have new trained staff in place to be able to deliver an education programme that meets our charity standards.
Holiday clubs and courses have not restarted fully we offered taster mornings and taster days but we have not returned to a full holiday camp programme. We did deliver a cricket week which was delivered in Saxilby as part of our partnership with the council and local cricket club. This commenced at the end of a 8 week programme of cricket delivered on Friday evenings from May – July 2021.
The family fun day in August 2020 in conjunction with Heighington parish council saw a large number of families attend the family fun day which returned to its normal activities after last years time slots and bookings.
We were delighted to be invited to the Festival of Sport event in Norfolk this was a national sporting event where we delivered the hockey zone for families across the country. This event helped market the charity to a wider audience and support families with opportunities to take part in sporting activities they do not usually engage with. The event was attended by 1500 people across the 3 days and was a huge success for our team.
