## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The promotion of community participation by the provision of facilities for the playing of cricket; and the promotion of the amateur sport of cricket by providing coaching and development opportunities within the sport for all within the community.
The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by
the Charity Commission on public benefit. The Trustees have taken this guidance into account when making decisions to which the guidance is relevant.
In furtherance of its aims and objectives, the Association has adopted a child protection policy, an equal opportunities policy, in line with direction from the ECB and their requirements of all similar organisations.
## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The aims of the charity are to ensure the provision of the best possible facilities to meet its objectives for the benefit of the membership.
It was pleasing to see the success on the pitch led by by our 1[st] XI gaining promotion. We will go into 2026 with new challenge but with the knowledge that we have a strong base to work from with teams competing from All Stars, all they way through the junior and youth system onto Senior Cricket including our Women’s section which continues to grow.
We must as always, commend the Management Committee who with their continued efforts ensure the smooth running and forward progression of the club.
The trustees continue to work hand in hand with ECB policies which are relevant to the day to day running of the club, helping to maintain our Clubmark accreditation.
## FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity’s normal policy is to ensure that the Management Committee generate and keep adequate funds and reserves for the efficient running of the club and in turn the charity, on a day-today basis. It was achieved this season with a pretty much maintained position, even with a substantial increase in capital expendture. The continued implementation of budgets for all departments which gives us sensible targets to achieve.
We successfully submitted all returns to the Charity Commission for 2024.
