STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT The governing document is the Crick Community Sports Centre (CCSC) CIO Constitution adopted on 27th June, 2016 which became recognised by the Charity Commission when the Charitable Incorporated Organisation was registered on 10th August, 2016. The Constitution defines the ongoing arrangements for Trustees to run CCSC CIO. Up to ￿e1ve Trustees can be directly elected. One other Trustee position can be nominated by Crick Parish Council. At each AGM, Trustees are elected under the Constitution of the CCSC. The recruitment and training of new trustees, if successfully elected, is conducted by existing trustees. The Trustees held regular meetings during the year. The Trustees work entirely on a voluntary basis. There are no employees. The elected Trustees for the reporting period were: A. Simms P. Lane l. Gidley R. Dearing M. Rodley P. Preece The Crick Parish Council nominated Trustee position was shared by M. Miller and C. Walsh during the year. OBJECTIVES The objects of the CIO are the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation, in particular the provision of facilities for sport and fitness, including football, cricket, hockey, and tennis. PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT All the Charity's activities are undertaken to further our charitable purpose for the benefit of the public. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in section four of the Charities Act 2011. The main benefits which have arisen during the year from the organisations aims and activities are detailed in the following sections and in the financial review. REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE PERIOD Following the success of Crick Sports Field Association (CSFA) and Crick Parish Council in raising the funding to build a sports centre and Multi Use Games Area (MUGA), CCSC CIO was constituted to administer the running of them. On the 18tJanuary, 2017 £6,466 of cash and £40,595 of other assets held by CSFA were donated to and gratefully received by CCSC. Over the subsequent years to 31st December. 2024 the CIO has successfully operated the facilities and acted as the home ground of Crick Athletic Football Club (CAFC). The Senior team has been joined by a Ladies team and an ever- increasing number of Colts teams across all ages. CRICK COMMUNITY SPORTS CENTRE CIO REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER.. 1168718 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CONTINUED Activities on the grass have been greatly aided by those on the MUGA, for winter training and through the revenue it generates to support other activities. As well as the CAFC teams training on the MUGA, it is also used by Crick Athletic Walking Football, local 5-a-side teams. for parties and for tennis. The facilities are not just used by the immediate community of Crick either. Regular bookings are made by the communities of Yelvertoft, Naseby and Long Buckby too. The commercial success of the MUGA has enabled the CIO to invest in improving the facilities as 8 whole and to subsidise less commercial but nevertheless beneficial activities within the sports centre pavilion. The centre regularly hosted Pilates, Yoga and Well Being classes, and has been used as a training centre again this year. There has a150 been an increasing number of private party hires, opening the centre to a wider group of community users. Further away from the centre, SWEAT continues to host several fitness classes ranging from circuits and cycling through to aerobics and Zumba. During the period under review, the Trustees have continued to invest in and develop the facilities around the centre, including new ball nets on pitch 1 and most notsbly the installation of solar panels on the roof of the centre. Grant support was gratefully received from the NCF in respect of this, but we still spent a considerable amount of our reserves. The expenditure will save electricity costs throughout the year and generate some income in the summer months, providing a relatively shore payback period and the opportunity to replenish reserves in the future. The MUGA continues to be subject to annual maintenance and repairs have been made as necessary to prolong the life of a major asset. Joint projects have included the continuation of a 6-year Pitch Improvement Programme with Crick Athletic Football Club, the Football Foundation and Northants County FA. Each year herbicide and fertiliser are applied. the pitches scarified, over seeded. vertidrained and dressed with sand. PLANS FOR FUTURE YEARS The trustees continue to apply the income of the CIO to benefit as many inhabitants of Crick and its surrounding communities as possible. The incoming funds, except for capital grants, are unrestricted in their use by the CIO and the Trustees consider that current funds are sufficient to meet its ongoing obligation5. Where capital grants are available, the resulting grant award often has conditions attached to it as to how the monies can be spent. The CIO regards these grants as restricted funds unts'l the monies have been spent and the grant conditions satisfied. We have a long list of improvement projects we would like to undertake but these must be prioritised in terms of the benefit to the community, in conjunction with the sports centre users. plans and the costs of funding where grants are not available. In the short-term, we plan to give the pavilion a little more attention with some general maintenance and renewed appliances. In the longer term, we are invests-gating the opportunity of adding bowling facilities to the site. We are constantly improving the quality of our ground5 and pitches and trying to extend the use of the facilities over the summer months. Now the cricket club has facilities to host matches we hope to see its continued growth and development, and increased use of their artificial cricket strip, new extension and patio a￿a. The long-term Pitch Improvement Programme and the mid-term access track project will continue but we also hope to improve the car park areas over the coming year and further protect the site from vandalism and inappropriate access. CRICK COMMUNITY SPORTS CENTRE CIO REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER= 1168718 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CONTINUED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR The CIO successfully operated the facilities and generated £23.729 (2023: £23,823) of income, received further donations and grants of £21,577 (2023: £9,470) and benefitted from £2,138 (2023.. £4,343) of money derived from fund raising, sponsorship activities and sundry income. The running costs of the CIO amounted to £26,537 {2023: £33,152) and after accounting for asset purchases of £32,093 (2023.. £3,661), the net payment of £11,186 (2023: net receipt of £823) has been deducted trom reserves for future investment in the facilities. As at the year end, the cash assets of the CIO were £23,830 (2023.. £35,016) and the other assets held by the charity amounted to £179.455 (2023.. £147,362). POLICY ON RESERVES The Trustees consider that the unrestricted cash fund of £23,830 at 31st December, 2024 {2023: £35,016) is sufficient to sustain its operations should income generating activities be curtailed unexpectedly over the forthcoming year. A key element of the successful operation of the CIO is for the MUGA to be able to continue to generate revenue. The Trustees therefore ensure that they have sufficient reseNes available to meet any emergency repair costs. These notional funds remain unrestricted but as at the 318t December, 2024 they amounted to £21,000 {2023.' £21,000). TRUSTEES.
