Section C Objectives and activities
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
To promote community participation in healthy recreation (including cricket coaching). To advance education including social and physical training related to cricket at Queen’s Park in Chesterfield.
To advance education for the public benefit by increasing public learning and knowledge about the history and heritage of cricket in Queen’s Park, Chesterfield.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
It is confirmed that the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.
The accounts continue to show a reduced level of income and expenditure in the 2021/22 year as we once again had no Chesterfield Festival of Cricket due to COVID restrictions still in place. This in turn has meant that we were less able to attract new members and so membership subscriptions have stayed relatively stable at £3,625 compared to £3,467 in the previous year.
We were very pleased to purchase new cricket covers for Queen's Park at a cost of £2,443. The covers needed to be replaced to protect the square at the ground. We were able to print our Logo and name on the covers and this is a good marketing aid for the charity.
We were also able to once again produce our yearly publication which gives details of cricket news, past performances at the Park, interviews as well as reports on the charity’s activities for the year. We are very grateful to the advertisers who loyally continue to support the publication which means we are able to cover the costs of production making this cost neutral. We will continue to produce the Annual as it is an important strand of our heritage work. Our bank balance at the end of April 2022 was a healthy £12,944 and as we come out of COVID restrictions the trustees are looking forward, once again to provide further financial support, as soon as possible, to projects and cricket events, which can further our mission, in line with the objects of the charity.
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:
-
policy on grantmaking;
-
policy programme related investment;
-
contribution made by volunteers.
The charity’s policy on grant making is driven by its charitable objects and the outcomes are reviewed at trustee’s meetings.
It is intended to create a written policy in this regard during the coming year.
Section D Achievements and performance
Section D Achievements and performance
These are outlined in Section C Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
As we do not employ staff or purchase equipment for ourselves that would need replacement, reserves are kept at a minimum. The charity’s intention is to ensure expenditure is kept under tight control so as not to exceed the incoming resources of the charity. A contingency reserve is always maintained.
Details of any funds materially in deficit
Further financial review details (Optional information)
You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:
- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);

-
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
-
investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
