upgrade and improve the facilities at the park on
Robin Lane, Lyme Green, Macclesfield, which is
known as Lyme Green Community Park and
revitalise the space for all the local Community
to use. We would like the Lyme Green park area
to become a focal point of our community and
make it accessible to all, by creating a
multigenerational playground and communal
area. We strongly believe that upgrading the
playground and communal area will make a
significant contribution to our community as
well as improving the health and well-being of
people of all ages from within our local
communityarea.| |Summary of the main

final elements in the park, however, some
elements have been identified that need
attention, the gardening group shed was not
robust enough and required replacing and the
perimeter path was not fully accessible, which
will be addressed in the year 2024/25.
To mark the Kings Coronation a Community
event was held which proved very successful.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The Charity has taken account of the Charity
Commission’s guidance on public benefit. In this
regard the Charity is wholly committed to raising
funds for the improvement of facilities in Lyme
Green Community Park, any member of the
public can access the park, free of charge and
use any of the facilities provided. Since forming
as a Charity CIO in October 2019, Park 4all Lyme
Green has successfully raised funds with the
following organisations:
National Lottery Community Fund
Sport England|  Cheshire East Council  Sutton Parish Council  New Homes Bonus Fund  Hobson Charity  Together with donations from local businesses The monies raised have been used to fund the refurbishment. Cheshire East Council (CEC) own Lyme Green Community Park with Ansa Environmental Services Ltd (ANSA), the operational arm of CEC and manages the Lyme Green Park on behalf of CEC. ANSA have designed the park and are solely responsible for maintaining the new equipment. These funds and the elements it funded has completely revitalised the park by installing the following; a new path, improved drainage, wildlife area, sports equipment for 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 was limited to eight trustees, in order to share the workload and widen the expertise permission was obtained to increase the trustee number to 12, this full complement was then appointed, The trustees are supported by a number of volunteers, all give their time free of charge to the Charity for the benefit of the Charities aims and 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. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|The CIO has no policy on grant making.| |Policy on social investment
