## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 1[st] April 2020 to 31[st] March 2021** **Charity name: Burton Community Association** **Charity registration number: 1171730** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of
the area of benefit without distinction of
sex, sexual orientation, age, disability,
nationality, race or of political, religious or
other opinions, by associating together the
said inhabitants and such statutory
authorities, voluntary and other
organisations as appropriate in a common
effort to provide facilities in the interest of
health and social welfare for recreation with
the objective of improving the conditions of
life for the said inhabitants| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The Association remains focussed upon
three main objectives and activities that
have been undertaken for the public
benefit.
1. Establishment of a children’s play area:
The association has negotiated the lease of
a small piece of land within the village,
cleared the area, erected appropriate
fencing and gates, and turfed the area.
Play equipment has been installed and
maintained.
Parents and children of the village have
made significant use of the play area and
this is of huge benefit to a village without
any other source of amenity.
2. To preserve and protect health:
The association has worked in partnership
with the British Heart Foundation and has
purchased and installed a ‘public access
defibrillator’ within the village. Appropriate
training in CPR & Defibrillator use has been
provided to a large number of residents on
a voluntary basis. The equipment has been| |||used on several occasions to assist with
providing first aid prior to attendance of
emergency services. The equipment is
registered with The South Western
Ambulance Service and available for use
by members of the public.
3. To promote an improved liaison with
Police:
The association has worked in partnership
with the local Police to provide a
community speed watch (CSW) group to
help reduce traffic speed and minimise
harm of injury to its residents.
The CSW group deploys the speed
detection equipment, reporting results
directly to the Police for any necessary
action.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

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|The activities of the charity have been
widely affected by the restriction imposed
by the Government during the COVID 19
pandemic.
Throughout the COVID restrictions the
Association coordinated a system within
the community to ensure any of the more
vulnerable residents had the support of a
volunteer to help with tasks such as
grocery shopping, collection of medicines
and supplies, thereby minimising exposure
risks to those persons.
The Association provides a well-equipped
open space for children to visit for
recreational purposes. This has been the
fourth year of operation and indications are
the area is well used on a daily basis (when
restrictions allow) and complements the
increased numbers of younger families who
have become residents of the village and
surrounding parish. The site and equipment
are maintained and insured by the BCA
The Association has provided appropriate
CPR & defibrillator training for up to 32
residents, although a number have
departed the village, current numbers are
27. The charity has been unable to provide
the usual annual refresher training or to
seek additional volunteers to undergo
training. Once COVID restrictions are lifted,
the aim would be to increase numbers.
The status of the equipment is reported
upon monthly to the local Ambulance
Service to confirm serviceability and
readiness for any medical emergency. The
equipment has not been used during the
past year to assist with any related
emergencies
The Association currently has 5 trained
Community Speed Watch (CSW)
volunteers; however, they have been
unable to deploy during this period of
restrictions.
The Association continues to use a group
of volunteers to form the Village
Appearance Group which has taken the
lead to encourage the community to
improve the overall appearance of the
village and seek to improve overall
wellbeing through its actions.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

The limited income, primarily from lottery
club membership subscription and ad hoc
donations remains the primary source of
money to achieve the current objectives.
The children’s play area equipment has a
substantial manufacturer’s warranty for
major component parts, although trustees
have a duty to ensure funding is made
available for the common operating costs
such as: liability and possessions
insurance, costs for maintenance and
inspections of play equipment and area,
consumables for the defibrillator and
administration costs.| |||The trustees have:
