## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 1[st] September 2019 To 31[st] August 2020** ## **Charity name: Friends of Bradley Park** ## **Charity registration number: 1168903** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP

the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The objects of the CIO are for the benefit of the inhabitants of
Huddersfield, to provide or assist in the provision of facilities
for recreation and other leisure time occupation in the
interests of social welfare with the object of improving their
conditions of life for the inhabitants of the area of benefit in
particular but not exclusively by the preservation, promotion,
support, assistance and improvement of Bradley Park.| |Summary of the main

and 1.19|The CIOs main activities during the reporting period have
been the improvement of Bradley Park through the operation
of the Bradley Park Community Centre and associated
substantial recreational space (circa 17 acre site).
Since May 2019 the CIO has been able to offer the new
community centre for rent. Two community groups have
taken regular weekly core booking and a number of private
celebration functions have been held. The centre has
operated essentially as a “village hall” with its various facilities
for rent.
Throughout the reporting period a local gardener has rented a
storage container on Bradley Park to support his business. In
July 2020 a local leased the ‘depot’ (former storage space) and
is now delivering personal fitness sessions and training to local
people (Covid lockdowns permitting).
Since the end of March 2020, the building and most
recreational facilities have been closed until the end of this
reporting period having a devastating impact on income.
However, securing Business Rate grants has ensured we
remain viable.| |Statement confirming

reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Maintaining a long lease of Bradley Park has enabled the CIO
to provide facilities for recreation and other leisure time
occupation to the local community. The lease also preserves
the park for future generations and gives much greater
freedom to undertake improvement works and stage
community events. The CIO has at its disposal approximately
17 acres of recreation ground, a small children’s playground,
Skate park, 3 full size sports pitches, 1, 5-a side football pitch,
secure maintenance yard, large storage facilities, a grounds
maintenance depot facility with power, storage and water for
events.
The opening of Bradley Park community centre greatly assists
in the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure
time occupation in the interests of social welfare as the CIO
now provides indoor year-round facilities as well as the
outdoor provision. The relatively new community centre
brings a large community hall and kitchen, an indoor meeting
room plus changing facilities and toilets.
Since opening the community regular users include a brand
new youth club and a regular charity for people living with
dementia. The building is also the home for Bradley TRA and
has capacity to host many more similar community groups in
the future.
Rental of facilities to local residents for social and leisure
together with providing facilities for new and existing
community groups is vital for the financial viability of the CIO.
The rental of a storage container to a local gardener has
supported his business and the recent letting of the ‘depot’ to
a local resident to deliver personal fitness sessions and
support brings individual and wider community benefits.| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against Para 1.41 objectives set Page 2 of 10 Performance of fundraising Para 1.41 activities against objectives set Investment performance Para 1.41 against objectives Other ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
