Treasurer’s Report

Governance

Play@cotherstone operates as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) which provides protection for the charity, trustees and volunteers and helps the group be sustainable.

The objects of the charity are:

To promote, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Cotherstone and the surrounding area, the provision of recreational and sporting facilities for the entire community in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving the conditions of life for the residents of Cotherstone.”

The charity is administered and managed by 8 trustees. There have been no changes to the trustees during the year. We continue to look for new trustees to be appointed to the charity and be actively involved.

In addition there is a host of people who help throughout the year with maintenance, events and administration. Without the help of all these volunteers, the charity would not be able to operate. We very much welcome new volunteers to bring new ideas, drive and energy to help with maintenance, as well as holding Park and fundraising events.

play @ cotherstone has continued to operate a bank account with the CO-OP Bank. In keeping with our Bank Mandate, the bank account requires two signatures for all cheque payments and no electronic payments have been made during the period. The small holding of petty cash is held secure and requires a full audit trail.

In terms of governance, the charity operates under its Principles and Statement of Banking and Accounting Controls approved by the trustees in April 2023.

Accounting

These accounts have been prepared on a cash receipts and payments basis and cover the year 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025.

As well as cash, other assets held by the charity as at 31st March 2025 include; all the land on which the Park operates including the land under the Park barn, play equipment, trim trail, maintenance tools and event equipment. A register of play equipment is maintained but in terms of accounting value is written off as soon as installed. A note regarding the purchase of land during the year is noted below.

All grants with restricted terms are shown separately in these account. To assit the reader of these accounts, a summary statement of movement of reserves is included on the final page of these accounts.

For prudence, the charity had built up a separately identified unrestricted reserve up to 1st April 2024 of £1,500. This was to cover legal costs relating to the existing lease renewal or cessation, which would have arisen in the next 7 years. However, as the land was successfully purchased on 7th June 2024 the reserves policy has been updated at 31st March 2025.. The trustees have agreed to hold at minimum one years maintenance, insurance, inpsection and critical repair costs currently estimated at £3,000 per year

as a separate unrestricted, but identified reserve. Whilst the general purpose reserve is a fully unrestricted reserve and available for essential works and events, the trustees feel it purdent to separately identify a contingency reserve (unrestricted) in the event of being unable to undertake local fundraising events or secure grants during one year. The policy and amount will be reviewed annually.

In order to reflect the true operating position of the charity, it is also reported here that during the year the charity has also benefited from the following non-cash transactions noted as ‘in-kind’ value:

Fund raising, grants and donations

A key part of the sustainability of Cotherstone Village Park relies on ensuring there is a suitable general reserve built up to continute operating even in difficult and unexpected conditions. Over the years, the Covid19 epidemic and rising material costs have proven this to be essential. Therefore, there is a constant need to fundraise to keep the Park open.

As noted above, the charity needs to raise around £3,000 per year to simply keep on top of essential maintenance and every day running costs such as the grass cutting as well as the annual insurance and inspection. This is over and beyond any capital additions or replacements.

We were delighted to have held the November 2024 Bonfire Fundraising Party which was a great evening and benefited from excellent weather this year and resulted in a significant number of people attending. This is a very weather dependent event and the surplus each year varies considerably. This year we are very pleased to report a surplus of £3,303 was created which was a very successful year and we pass on our appreciations to all the volunteers incuding the local fire service who came along to support the event. (November 2023 Bonfire Fundraising Party comparative £1,466).

We are particularly grateful to Mr Dent for the loan of the field used for the village bonfire and for the advance cash donations which provided assurance that the party could go ahead. In addition, of particular note was corporate support by way of a £250 donation from the GSK Care GSK Employees charity. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped to plan, conduct and clear up the 2024 Bonfire Party and to all who donated cash, prizes and food on the day. This is a whole village event and it is brilliant to see the huge effort put in by volunteers to ensure we raise much needed funds.

During the year, other donations were provided by:

Cotherstone Fun Weekend Committee towards general running costs £250
Cotherstone Parish Council towards general running costs £500

The Fun Weekend Committee work incredibly hard to raise funds each year for our community and we are extremely grateful for their support during 2024/25 and past years.

In addition to the above, during the year, we were very pleased to have received the following grants:

Community Ownership Fund (COF) Department of Leveling Up towards land purchase £20,000 Asda Foundation – for new swing bars £1,000

All fundraising, grants and donations, together with payments during the year can be seen in detail in the accounts.

In terms of sustainability, we have embarked on a number of mini projects to strengthen the infrastructure, paths and boundaries and these will continue throughout 2025/2026.

Grass and weed control services were outsourced for the 2024 season and continue to be for 2025. We yet again, continue to thank Richard Toward for his valuable help.

Major Celebratory Event in the year

The purchase of the land co-incinded with 20 years of the Park being open and we held a celebratory event kindly hosted by Cotherstone Village Hall. We were pleased to see great coverage over a number of weeks in the Teesdale Mercury which highlighted the generous support from Mr John Birkett as well as publicity for our key funders the Community Ownership Fund (COF) and the Durham County Councillors, Teesdale Action Partnership (DCC TAP). Both John Birkett and our local councillor Richard Bell attended along with past trustees, many local volunteers and users of the Park. A commemorative boulder and plaque was installed in the Park. For those newer to the village it provided a lovely opportunity to look at old photos and understand how this has been a hugely successful village project, run by local villagers for the whole community.

Money from CPF and DCC TAP not only allowed the purchase of the land but it facilitated work to improve the boundaries, the installation of a disabled access gate, Park furniture improvements and general infrastructure works. All of which, maintain the appearance of the Park and help sustainability.

The Future

We are extremely grateful to the many funders and private donors who continue to support the charity.

Our year end closing general cash reserve sits at £9,211 and our contingency reserve is £3,000. In addition we also hold the Asda restricted fund already committed to contributing to new swing bars exepcted this summer. We will continue to work with funders but understand that the risks surrounding the UK economy will make this increasingly difficult and therefore local fundraising will need to continue in order to keep the Park open.

The charity is grateful for the existing trustees to continue in post, however the execution of a trustee succession plan will be key to the sustainability of the charity and Park. Any person interested in becoming a trustee is most welcome to come and find out more about this vital work and should contact any member.
