Trustees Annual Report East Pines Park 2019 – 2020

Introduction

Without doubt this year has been a huge challenge for our Park and the community that used it. During the pandemic, the cafe and play ground was closed as well as all volunteer activities on the ground suspended.

Despite all of the challenges we have faced, the Park has grown in completely new ways and reached out to support the community who were either isolating with Bags of Hope or thanking the key workers with Thank you bags or giving out Pots of Hope to residents who had lost someone.

Tier 3 challenges continue at the time of writing with all volunteer activity currently suspended but a huge amount of work has been undertaken to ensure as soon we are allowed the volunteers will return and ensure the Park continues to be seen as a solution to a lot of the mental and physical health challenges that have risen during the covid pandemic.

Never has our Park been more needed.

Paul Galley Chair of the Friends Group 19/12/20

Summary of activity

The year started on a high following the grant from the Vera Wolsencroft Foundation to buy and install a new slide and resurface the whole playground. The work was carried out in February and the playground looks and feels great, the project has really lifted the whole Park.

Sadly the consequences of the Covid 19 pandemic forced us to suspend all volunteering activities after March 17[th ] as well as the closure of our Cafe and the Playground.

During the lockdown the Park was used by many and we reinvented ourselves as a group to support the local community who were shielding and isolated as well as key workers to provide over 150 Thank You and Bags of Hope, we also provided over 150 Pots of Hope with the support of our isolated Green Team to members and sadly there were many who had lost someone during the pandemic.

Through out the lockdown even though the playground was closed the Park was seen as a life line by many just to be in a community green space and we are extremely proud our Park played in helping many by being a green friend to all.

Our volunteers were able to return in July, sadly the Green Team were isolated so a core six volunteers worked in some terrible conditions to try and restore the Parks flower beds which following the pandemic were very over grown. We are extremely proud of the six volunteers for their work and commitment in such difficult circumstances.

Around October the Library and Cafe reopened and became a beacon of light although the cafe had to close in early November as we entered tier 3.

During tier 3 one volunteer who had previously been a carpenter asked to work in the polytunnel alone to make some wooden planters, the success of his work has been appreciated by many and we are now looking at creating a wood work team to really support residents who would like to get involved as well as raise funds for the playground.

A final highlight of a very difficult year was winning the Swallowdale award of £4000 in partnership with the Blackpool Gazette, it came at a tough time for us and was a great lift. We can’t wait to see the work carried out and use it to inspire and educate young minds that use our playground.

Values

Our Park values are needed more than ever as we support our volunteers, support the surrounding Park community and support the local economy with nearly all of our spending spent with businesses within a ten mile radius of the Park.

Covid Impact

Future

Despite all the pain and loss of 2020, as a charity and a Park we enter the new financial year in a strong and robust position.

Our accounts are in a healthy position with ear marked reserves committed to delivering the following projects:
