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 22/23
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.
In the community HSF also have the affiliated running club with England Athletics – Hurricane Striders this has its own committee structure with 35 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 2022/23 with HSF engaging with 10 schools prior to Christmas 2022 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.
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 2000 people across the 3 days and was a huge success for our team.
