Achievements and Performance

| 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 | Despite the difficulties present by the covid pandemic the cricket club has provided a lot of cricket during the 2021 cricket season. Due to covid rules changing facilities were not fully used or indeed refreshments provided, in most cases players supplied their own food and drink. A particular problem has been the inability due to covid to use the Community Pavilion which was closed for much of the time reflected in the audited annual accounts. However, as soon as limited use of community facilities became possible we assisted organisations to get started again. The cricket club is very grateful to the support given by the government through West Suffolk Council which enabled the club to maintain its significant running costs of the community pavilion during the difficult time. |

| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The cricket club has continued to achieve its aim of providing cricket during challenging times and supporting community groups through provision of its facilities. |

| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | The cricket club has had an outstanding year in terms of fund raising. The club has a particular need to replace the very old outdoor cricket nets practice facilities, the aim is to provide a third lane and provide a new state of the art enclosed facility which will be much safer (especially) for disabled and young |
| persons) as cricket balls cannot leave the nets. On Friday July 23rd 2021 the club hosted a match against the PCA England Legends made possible as covid restrictions were lifted a few days earlier. The match raised in the region of £21,000 which is the reason the accounts show such a healthy surplus. In addition the day produced a donation toward the West Suffolk Hospital My Wish Charity appeal in support of the NHS. |
