Annual Achievements and Performance

The year ending June 2024 was a year of consolidation for Halesworth Community Sport and Leisure. Following the four clubs signing leases, each have been working hard to improve their facilities and infrastructure. This includes the Bowls Club updating their pavilion lighting to LED lights; the football club improving the changing facilities in the main pavilion at Dairy Hill and continuing to improve the pitch condition at the Baseley Ground; the tennis club actively searching for funding to enable them to resurface the tennis courts. With regards to wider facility development, HCSL were successful in securing a grant from East Suffolk Council to support site maintenance, including car park and footpath improvements. This work will be undertaken in September 2024. The play equipment at Dairy Hill is beginning to show its age. As we move into the next financial year, we will need to arrange for the play equipment to be removed and work with relevant local partners, including the Town Council, to arrange where and how new play equipment will be installed. Additionally, the car park at Dairy Hill requires improvement. Over the coming months, the trustees will work on a plan on how to implement this, as this would be a major improvement which would improve the experience of all those who use the site.

Financial Review

Under the new lease agreements, Halesworth Community Sport and Leisure collected the rent and service charges from clubs for their use of the Dairy Hill site. £5,719 was received in club fees in financial year 2024. Additionally, the clubs were liable for paying the fees associated with organising the leases, £2,041 was received for this. HCSL received a £2,000 grant from East Suffolk Council, which is solely to be used on site maintenance, including car park and footpath improvements: thanks to Councillor Geoff Wakeling for supporting this.
