Introduction
The Trustees submit their report and financial statement for the Friends of Riverside Park – Chester-le-Street (the CIO) for the financial year ending 31st July 2023. The financial statement complies with the Charities Act 2011 and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Small Entities (effective January 2015).
Aims & Objectives
To promote for the benefit of inhabitants of Chester le Street and the surrounding areas, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions, the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need for such facilities within the context of the Riverside Park, Chester le Street, County Durham.
Review of Achievements & Performance
Despite the breakdown as reported by the then Treasurer Paul Evans – FoRP volunteers continued with the support of Cestrian Community Volunteers, and we managed to continue as a group.
Both Audrey Willis and Clare Todd – named as Trustees wished to continue the group and were glad that this could happen with support from DCC and Cestrian Community Volunteers.
With the support of Durham County Council Health and Safety policies were agreed and this meant insurance for public liability could be obtained, however the volunteers continue to be covered by Cestrian Community Volunteers until such time as to resolve access to FoRP funds.
We have held our Annual Easter Egg Hunt with the sponsorship of the onsite café who supplied the chocolate easter eggs for the children. This continues to be a very successful and well supported event.
Work continues in the park gardens by volunteers and a Gold standard was achieved in Northumbria in Bloom once again this year.
