Chairpersons Report 2023

2023 was the PCS’s second year of operating as a charity, and we continued to grow our functions and membership and build on the work we had begun in previous years to submit large bids for funding to purchase Temple Street Field. It is fair to say that the year has also been quite frustrating, as our big bids were knocked back.

The charity has 43 members and receives regular donations totalling £396 for the year, helping our charity meet our daily costs. We were also extremely grateful to again receive the support of our local Councillor Ollie Cross, who generously awarded the charity £200 from his Councillors Initiative Fund. We also received a generous donation from a supporter to our land purchase fund, which enables us to provide some of the match funding needed for our larger bids. We have also used schemes such as the High Peak Lottery, and the ink cartridge recycling scheme to raise further funds to help run the charity and build up our match funding pot.

We are entirely volunteer run and always happy to take on new volunteers either on the board or in a less formal capacity, to help us deliver our goals. In 2023 we welcomed Ruth, Jackie and Alex to the board who have added extra capacity.

Unfortunately we have yet to be successful in attracting the funding needed to purchase the field off Temple Street, so on the surface it may look like little has been achieved, however we have been working really hard on several bids throughout the year. In 2022 we submitted a bid to Derbyshire County Council which we learnt in January 2023 had been unsuccessful, and we also submitted an expression of interest for funding to the National Lottery Heritage Fund who declined to fund the purchase of the field (whilst saying that the rest of our bid was fundable), which was very frustrating. Much of the second part of the year was dedicated to putting in a bid to the Community Ownership Fund for the land purchase.

Obviously it's frustrating to still be working on building up the money to purchase the field. I’d like to reassure our members and local residents that we are doing everything we can do. Support from more volunteers would be very welcome, and in particular we will be looking to fill the Chairperson and Secretary positions in this AGM.
