Longwell Green Memorial and Playing Field Association CIO Trustees Annual Report CHAIR'S REPORT
To see the ongoing trading of the Charity please review the accounts and statement for the Longwell Green memorial Hall 7 Playing Fields Association Charity Number 301564.
On the creation of the charity registration as a CIO in September 2019 the decision was taken to change the trading arm from the current club status to a company 100% owned by the CIO in 2021
and this will operate under a lease to manage the bars in the Centre. The company name will be Longwell Green Community Trading Limited.
Additionally the change to a CIO has allowed the Trustees to register the land and property at Shellards Road as an asset of the Charity rather than the previous situation where it had to be held by holding trustees. This matter was managed by the solicitor acting on behalf of the charity.
Additionally during 2020 the Centre has been working with a number of parties to secure funding for an artificial football pitch on the top grass pitch and planning has been approved. This area is within the land leased to the charity by the South Gloucestershire Council; therefore the lease to the land will be reviewed and placed in the name of the CIO, accommodating the requirements of the key parties providing funding for the new facility. This will be achieved by working with SGCC and our solicitor. This facility will be operated by a company 100% owned by the Charity, self-funded with all income re-invested into the pitch and football facilities. It is hoped this will bring more people to the Centre provided an opportunity for the community to have access to an area for wellbeing, exercise and sport as well as being a facility for the Longwell Green Sports Football Junior, Senior Clubs which includes boys, girls, man, women and disabled.
The intention was to start trading through the CIO in 202O, however there was the need to set up new banking arrangements plus the pandemic prevented actions being taken quickly therefore we anticipate this all being in position and operating by the end of 2021.
It is for this reason the income is Nil with all trading remaining under the charity registration, charity number 301564.
