Summary of the maln achievements of the charity durlng the year This was largely funded by the Football Foundation with support from Trafford Council, the Crossford Bridge Management Association and Contributions from Sale United and Old Altrinchamians FC. The pitch provides substantial benefits both for the resident clubs and other members of the local Community. We continue to provide facilities for young and old to take part in sports activities such as athletics and football. We do this through our member organizations, which are Sale Harriers, Sale United and Old Altrinchamians., all these clubs are open to members of the local community. We strive to make the88 activities as affordable as possible, thi5 has enabled the Clubs to provide reduc8d membership in cases of hardship. We are still waiting to sign a 25-year lease on Crossford Bridge Sports Ground with Trafford Council. The lease will be subject to a Community Use Agreement for the site and an agreement that the land will be registered with Fields in Trust, which will protect this green space for people to enjoy in perpetuity.
