|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|The aim of the Charity is to raise funds to<br>upgrade and improve the facilities at the park on<br>Robin Lane, Lyme Green, Macclesfield, which is<br>known as Lyme Green Community Park and<br>revitalise the space for all the local Community<br>to use. We would like the Lyme Green park area<br>to become a focal point of our community and<br>make it accessible to all, by creating a<br>multigenerational playground and communal<br>area. We strongly believe that upgrading the<br>playground and communal area will make a<br>significant contribution to our community as<br>well as improving the health and well-being of<br>people of all ages from within our local<br>communityarea.|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or services<br>identified in the accounts.|**Para 1.17 and**<br>**1.19**|This current year has seen some further income<br>from a grant provider and other income from<br>fundraising actvities.|
|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|The Charity has taken account of the Charity<br>Commission’s guidance on public benefit. In this<br>regard the Charity is wholly committed to raising<br>funds for the improvement of facilities in Lyme<br>Green Community Park, any member of the<br>public can access the park, free of charge and<br>use any of the facilities provided. Since forming<br>as a Charity CIO in October 2019, Park 4all Lyme<br>Green has successfully raised funds with the<br>following organisations:<br> National Lottery Community Fund<br> Sport England<br> Cheshire East Council<br> Sutton Parish Council<br>New Homes Bonus Fund<br> Hobson Charity|





 Together with donations from local businesses The funds raised have been donated from the Charity to Cheshire East Council (CEC) who own Lyme Green Community Park. Ansa Environmental Services Ltd (ANSA), the operational arm of CEC manages the Lyme Green Park on behalf of CEC. ANSA have designed the park and are solely responsible for maintaining and installing the new equipment. They have used these funds to completely revitalise the area by installing a new path, improved drainage, wildlife area, sports equipment all ages and abilities and includes equipment for people with physical and sensory impairments, children’s play equipment, sensory garden, reading library, assessable raised beds, play trail, picnic tables, some with game tops and seating. By the Charity donating all the equipment to CEC it ensures that CEC are responsible for the ongoing maintenance, insurance and safety of the equipment, the public thus benefiting from being able to use any of the facilities. The Charity have also received smaller donations from the community and also held and number of fundraising initiatives in the community to raise the awareness of the park which have aided the administration of the group such as running the website and paying for the insurance. 

The accounts reflect the monies received direct by the Charity from some grant providers, donations from the public and local businesses and community fund raising activities. The Charity has a partnership agreement with CEC and Ansa and under this partnership agreement some grants have been applied for in the name of CEC, with the monies being paid direct to CEC and used for the purpose of the grant application. A project management fee payable to Ansa has been incorporated in all of the grant applications to ensure transparency and the work being carried out to meet the grant providers terms and conditions. 

The Charity had six trustees for most of this year, (with a resignation of one) together with a number of volunteers, all give their time free of charge to the Charity for the benefit of the Charites aims and the benefit of the public who will use the facilities at Lyme Green Community Park. No trustee or volunteer receives any 



personal benefit from the activities undertaken by the Charity. The maximum number of trustees according to our constitution was eight, this has now been changed to a maximum of twelve and we hope to attract new trustees for the future.
