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.| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
