The facilities situated at the Elms Road playing fields in Cassington comprise of a large public access open grass playing field with both football and cricket pitches, a free to use green gym, an enclosed Multi Use Games Area (MUGA), a pavilion for community and sporting use, a car park and two areas of open access playground equipment, one for younger children and one for older children. 

In discussing and making decisions with regards to providing and maintaining the recreational facilities the trustees keep in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

**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)** 

These facilities provide an important outside space for any resident of Cassington and the wider community to access and use for recreation whether as an individual, a family, a group of friends or an organised sports team. The playing field is accessible and is open to the public; users benefit from the freedom to use the field for recreational activities such as walking, running, outdoor exercise, playing games, flying kites, having picnics, and children learning to ride bikes and roller skate. These activities provide the opportunity to benefit people’s physical and mental health and their social wellbeing. The green gym equipment and the playground equipment are also open to the public. Users benefit from the physical exercise gained whilst using the equipment and the social benefit in meeting other users which helps to build a sense of community and support connections within the village. 

This is the only dedicated outdoor recreational space in Cassington and it is important to ensure its availability for current, and future, users. 

The field, MUGA and pavilion are available for hire and are used by sporting and social groups as a place to participate in activities such as football, cricket, hockey, tennis and exercise classes. The pavilion is also available to be used for birthday parties, family celebrations and to host community and social events. The proceeds from the hiring out of these facilities form one part of the income received. The other part comes from organising and running community social events. These fundraising events aim to be inclusive and bring people together from all parts of our community, encouraging social connections which can go on to provide practical or emotional support for those that may not otherwise have had the opportunity to make those connections, which is in the interest of the social welfare of our village, and wider, community. 

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

The trustees wish to thank the committee and everyone who volunteers their time and effort in supporting the work of the charity to provide and maintain the recreational facilities in Cassington, particularly to those who donate their time to mow the grass on the playing fields so that the field can be used by all.

## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main** 2020/21 was an extremely difficult and worrying year for everyone as a **achievements of the charity** result of the Coronavirus pandemic.  However, despite all of the **during the year** difficulties the facilities were kept in good order and available for use by the local and wider community whenever Government regulations permitted, to variable degrees, throughout the year. At the start of the Charity’s year the countrywide lockdown restricted social contact and the participation in and use of sporting facilities, which resulted in the formal closure of the MUGA, the pavilion, the green gym and playground equipment.  People were however encouraged to take daily non-social outdoor exercise and the playing fields were key in being able to provide this facility to Cassington residents.  This open access to a place for safe recreation was so important as a way to improve conditions of life while living under severe restrictions and re-affirmed the continuing need to provide and maintain this village facility for current, and future, users. As the year progressed and regulations with regard to participation in sport were relaxed in stages, the MUGA was reopened for individual households to play tennis and then organised sport was able to partially resume with the cricket and football teams playing some matches over the summer period.  Two sets of freestanding steel football goals were purchased, one for senior players and one smaller set for younger community users which are easier to manoeuvre and have been invaluable, along with the green gym equipment, in providing an opportunity for exercise, recreation and much needed social contact when regulations permitted. The ban on social mixing and the need to maintain social distancing between individuals and households meant that all of our social community and fundraising events were put on hold and the pavilion remained closed to social use, therefore we received no income from these activities.  Our biggest fundraising opportunity, the annual Cassington Bike Night, was cancelled and we had to sadly discontinue the weekly pub meat draw. We are looking ahead to the coming year and are hopeful that the constraints that the pandemic have brought will ease so that we can once again bring the community together and use these facilities in the interest of social welfare and community connection within the prevailing guidelines with regards to social distancing, hopefully starting with a community sports/activity day on the field in the summer months.

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

The bank balance as at the year end was £36,170.77.  The MUGA surface will need replacing in 2031 and potentially the gang mower in 2023 so funds are being held to contribute towards these future large expenditures. Funds are also being held to cover 6 months of running costs in the event of a loss of income and to meet any unforeseen expenditure that may occur. 

## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

Not applicable 

## **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. 

In pre-Covid years, our two main sources of funds would be the income received from hiring the sporting facilities out to different groups and from the organising and hosting of fundraising and social events during the year. The fundraising events that the charity would normally organise and/or contribute to the organisation of, and participate in the running of, would encompass bringing the community of Cassington together for social and metal health wellbeing, would be actively open to the public and encourage people to get together as members of our wider community.  Unfortunately, these activities were either completely or partially curtailed for much of the year due to Government regulations, resulting in almost an 80% reduction in normal income over the year. The Charity applied for and received two Covid support grants amid the uncertainty during the lockdown periods which ensured the provision and maintenance of the recreational facilities in order to support our objectives by keeping the playing fields open for public use by the local and wider community despite this very difficult year.
