governing document|Para 1.17|To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of
the area without distinction of sex, sexual
orientation, age, disability, nationality, race
or of political, religious or other opinions, by

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 National Defibrillator
Network ‘The Circuit’ reporting monthly and
is available for use by members of the
public.
3. To promote an improved liaison with
Police:
A trustee of the association has registered
the village with the National Neighbourhood
Watch Scheme and has improved links with
our local 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 were largely
affected by the restriction imposed by the
Government during the COVID 19
pandemic which ended fully on the 24thFeb
2022.
Throughout the COVID restrictions the
Association continued to coordinate 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
fifth year of operation and indications are
the area is well used on a daily basis and
complements the increased numbers of
younger families who have become
residents of the village and surrounding
parish. The site and equipment are
maintained, safety inspected (by a
contractor) and insured by the BCA. The
charity has also painted the perimeter
fence to improve weatherproofing
The Association has provided appropriate
CPR & defibrillator training for a number of
residents, although some have departed
the village, our current numbers are 25.
The charity also to provide refresher
training for current volunteers and to seek
additional volunteers to undergo training.
The charity also plans to introduce bespoke
training for children by providing skills in
appropriate areas of first aid response.
The status of the equipment is reported
monthly to the new national register ‘The
Circuit’ 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 7 trained
Community Speed Watch (CSW)
volunteers. Since the lifting of specific
COVID restrictions the team did deploy the
equipment for 32 sessions and reported
174 vehicles for exceeding the speed
threshold| 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. Last year (2021) the village also held an ‘Open Gardens’ event which proved very popular and encouraged a greater opportunity to meet other residents. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
