delivering personal fitness sessions and training to local
people.|

|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.
Bradley Park greatly assists in the provision of facilities for
recreation and other leisure time occupation in the interests
of social welfare and community benefit.
The continued rental of a storage container to a local
gardener has supported his business and the continued letting
of the ‘depot’ to a local individual to deliver personal fitness
sessions and support brings individual and wider community
benefits.
The extensive external parkland and play facilities have been
extremely well used particularly as a place for local residents
for safe exercise and recreation.|
