| Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document 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) |
The object of the charity is the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in particular by the provision of facilities for the playing of sport. |
|---|---|
| The charity manages, on behalf of local residents and visitors, a recreation ground consisting of football and cricket pitch, children’s playground and green space with public right of way to open countryside. The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, which for the charity is the advancement of any sports or games which promote health by involving physical or mental skill or exertion and which are undertaken on an amateur basis. Volunteers run the charity. |
|
| Section D | Achievements and performance |
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
|
| The recreation ground is maintained to a high standard through the combined efforts of contractors and volunteers. Cutting continued through the winter. Volunteers undertook a significant amount of work to check and maintain the ground and its facilities. A new bench and cricket nets were installed. Tetford Cricket Club practice and hold league matches on the ground, playing in the East Lindsey Cricket League. Louth Football Club junior football teams were using the ground throughout the year, on 5 v 5, 7 v 7 and 9 v 9 pitches. This put greater pressure on the ground which needed maintenance. Children from the village primary school use the ground for some games. The majority of activity undertaken on the recreation ground is informal sports and recreation. The football goals remain in place all year round and are regularly used for some football practice or a knock about. A toddler swing and animal rocker were installed in the playground, adding to the older children’s equipment of swings, spinner and slide. The annual Terrier Racing fundraiser and social event was successful. |
