Chair's Foreword This is the report for the 2025 AGM of Creigiau Recreation Charity l Elusen Hamdden Creigiau (CRCIEHC). Another year of continual work trying to bring to the rapidly growing village of Creigiau and ts environs the facilities they deserve. We have been sucSsful in obtaining grants with Cardiff City Council (Neighbourhood Regeneration Program) and Welsh Govemment (Community Facilities Program). We continue to work on Lottery, Football Association of Wales and Cricket Wales for further funding. We are extremely grateful for the help given us by several residents giving us specialist advice, including Glyn Jones and Adam Wood on the Development & Planning Group and Phil Andrews and Chris Last with funding applications. We have reiVed a huge amount of help from Nick Lyons, who was virtually solely responsible for laying the Perimeter Path, with of course the stone and dust that was donated by Tamiac, with Emyr the current quarry manager being extremely understanding. Lloyd Britton our appointed architect has been a huge help attending meetings and working with the contractors and consultants, without his dedication we would not have progressed as far as we have. Local fundraising has relied on our well attended Golf Day, with teams from the Tennis and Cricket clubs taking part and Raffle Prizes donated by Archery and Petanque. Camival 2024 was very well attended with the charity receiving o larger donation than normal and again help from Archery and Tennis appreciated. Our trustees have been working hard with meetings being held in person and via Teams with their expertise in several areas being tested to the full. The Charity will continue to develop plans and work tirelessly to maximise any funds we get to produce a facility that can help the clubs and supply a useful product to the village and surrounding areas. Local fund raising has been completed with our popular Golf Day and a share in the profrts of 2024 Camival; the Camival allows us to show our plans via the stall on Camival day manned by our Trustees. Progress is also being made on our Friends of Creigiau Rec campaign currently being organised by Simon Slinn. Our relationship with Pentyrch Communty Council remains strong and we now count the PCC as a Strategic Partner in this venture, with help and advi being given readily and without any onerous conditions.
