Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
Our group was formed in 2016 with the aim of improving Treorchy Park and its surrounding area. We host many events at the park for the public and have been instrumental in securing new playground equipment and improvements to the park infrastructure. We also operate the paddling pool each year during the summer holidays which is a much-needed community resource which is free of charge.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
After a bleak 2020 the paddling pool was opened on July 2021 to September 2021.
Appropriate restrictions were applied. For example, a strict session booking system. These were mainly online bookings. Information was posted on our social media and website.
The main achievement was officially being able to open the paddling pool. As mentioned earlier, restrictions were applied due to Covid. This was not ideal but, with a strict booking system we succeeded without major problems to keep the pool operating for the summer holidays. We provided activities and entertainment for the children at the pool and offered affordable food for the families attending.
We were able to organise a Halloween event under appropriate Covid restrictions. The weather forced us to implement our bad weather contingency plan which meant we had difficulties managing the large crowds indoors because of the restrictions, but the event was still a great success.
To help the local bird and bat populations, we sold and erected bird and bat boxes around the park.

Our volunteers worked very hard at our food van and this generated about 50% of the money needed to operate the pool the next year, 2022. The charity’s trustees do not receive any renumeration and received no expense payments.
In 2021 we decided to sell Christmas trees to help raise funds. We offered each local school a large tree for free and provided the trees along the main shopping centre in Treorchy and the large one outside the Lion.
Our biggest outlay for 2021 was the installation of the heat pump to warm the pool water and of course the annual painting of the pool. We also purchased barriers for the pool to help with safety and a shed to support the food van business.
We purchased four picnic benches for the park for general public use.
