## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main** 2022 was our comeback year after the devastating pandemic. **achievements of the charity during the year** We were able to open the paddling pool as normal and we had a great summer with entertainment for the children throughout the summer holidays and we were also able to provide a free meal once a week for the children. We opened and maintained the park toilets for the duration of the summer. We held our Park in the Dark Halloween event again this year. The weather held out until halfway through the evening upon when the ‘heavens opened’ and torrential rain curtailed the night. Before the turn in the weather, we were able to hold our lantern parade, best costume and best pumpkin competition. Overall, the night was a great success although our food van struggled to cope with the demand for our ‘kids eat free’ offer. We installed a new metal bench in the park with the help of Treorchy Rugby Club.
