Cross Park Associaton
(Charity Number 1176816)
Annual Report and Accounts 2024
Introducton
The Cross Park Association was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 24[th] January 2018.
The building (and site) is owned by the Allhallows Parish Council and contains a recreation field, ‘country park’ and the Pavilion which was converted to form a community hall for the benefit of local residents. The Community Café (operated by Cross Park Association) ceased operations in December 2023 and an alternate provision by Roses Tea Rooms was agreed. This allowed an extension of the hours of operation (up to seven day operation at peak times) making more use of the Pavilion and wider site. This was agreed at a fixed monthly income to the CPA. Building maintenance by the Parish Council continued as a Cool Room and landscaping works were carried out. A concern has been the further increase in the electricity and gas costs.
The sports field was used for a series of events for local organisations, fund raising activities of the charity and Cross Park Football Club. Events were expanded through the year via third parties (who were responsible for the events).
There was additional pressure on existing trustees, so additional trustees were sought.
Trustees for the year were:
Lisa Newstead (appointed 30[th] October 2020) Chris Fribbins (appointed 30[th] October 2020) Nicola Foster (appointed 17[th] September 2023) Kim Wood (appointed 30[th] September 2023
Accounts are recorded on a Receipts and Payments basis. An accounting package was continued to help manage and record the increased transactions created by the operation of a part-time Community Café. A new style report has been created and filed with the Annual Return. A summary from the account package is below.
Annual Report prepared on a retrospective basis by Chris Fribbins, Clerk Allhallows Parish Council and Trustee from 2020.
