Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	We aim to provide the means for the people of Kibblesworth and surrounding areas to participate in healthy recreation in order to support mental and physical wellbeing. The facilities are valuable local amenities given that Kibblesworth is not well served with public transport services.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	We provide the means for all members of the community to meet in a friendly environment and to play bowls and cricket in a competitive or purely social setting. In addition to making the bowls/cricket amenities accessible to all the people of Kibblesworth and surrounding areas, this year we were provided with funds to help purchase junior bowling equipment in order to better support the needs of the local youth community. Volunteers were on hand during the summer holidays to support this initiative.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	Trustees provided with copies of the guidance notes. Regular trustee meetings take place to discuss issues/concerns that arise.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Last year our main achievement was to preserve local facilities (bowling green and cricket pitch) for use by the local community, which would otherwise have been lost. This work has continued, with the amenities still in good order and available to all. Building on last year’s success, we have been able to purchase games which make the bowling green more interesting to younger children. These were purchased toward the end of July and volunteers made themselves available during the summer holidays.
Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements		where relevant about:
Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	Our main objective has been to preserve the bowling facilities for use by local inhabitants of Kibblesworth and surrounding areas - this has been met. We have also met our secondary objective which was to raise awareness of the amenities and to provide more interest to younger groups. This has been met. Although new members were welcomed to the club, this was neutralised by existing members taking a break for various family commitments. We look forward to their return next season.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	We have raised enough funds to support a steady state. However, we have a plan to improve the overall experience for younger and older generations using the bowling green (bowls is one of the few sports where all generations of a family can play at no disadvantage to either older or younger

		players). In order to effect this plan, a significant increase in funds raised is needed.

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	Funds in this period fall in to 4 main categories: Local Authority grants, Sponsorship of an Open competition, Membership fees and general fundraising items such as selling Domino cards and raffle tickets. Members were generous in their provision of items to include in the raffle.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	None
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	Issues affecting the quality of the playing surfaces. To mitigate this, volunteers have undergone basic courses on greenkeeping and we have a professional greenkeeper in the local community offer free advice. Longer term, failing to improve the playing quality will limit our ability to attract paying members to the club. By improving the quality of the playing surface, we can attract more members thus enabling us to become less reliant on grants due to the expected increase in funds from membership fees.
