Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

We have continued this year to maintain the pitches to as high a standard as we are able. This involved re-seeding worn areas and re laying the pitches ready for friendly games which started at the beginning of August. We now have three Churches league teams playing on Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings are for 2 adult teams in the morning and a variety of youth teams some of who spill into Sunday afternoons. These matches are, of course our main source of income. Regrettably Covid struck and all games ceased from October through till the beginning of April, seriously affecting income

General cleaning and where necessary painting inside the pavilion took place during the summer break.

When we were able to open, the café continued to thrive, serving hot and cold drinks, chocolate bars and bacon rolls. All profits from this will be put towards the new pavilion.

Our focus this year has continued to be the new pavilion. We were very pleased to be granted the majority of the funding for this from the Premier League & FA Facility Fund so together with our other funders this means that we now have enough money to build. There were lots of legal aspects to be considered which has delayed the start. Because the planning permission was three years old we had to reapply and pay for it to be granted again. The start of the build is now due to be after the season finishes.
