Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its beneficiaries
and any wider benefits to society
as a whole.		 Para 1.20 In this reporting period the club instantiation of the
charity has delivered approximately 100 multiple
hour TT sessions to approximately 100 different
people, many of them multiple times, in Weston-
super-Mare, the surrounding and across Somerset as
a whole.
It is well known that TT offers a fantastic combination
of physical and mental health benefits and is an
inclusive sport that can be enjoyed by people of all
ages and fitness levels.
Here are some of the aspects our members have
benefited from:
Physical Benefits:
Improved hand-eye coordination: The fast-paced
nature of the game requires quick reflexes and
precise movements.
Enhanced reflexes: The constant need to react to the
ball's trajectory sharpens your reflexes.
Increased cardiovascular fitness: Playing TT can
elevate your heart rate and improve your
cardiovascular health.
Strengthened muscles: The sport engages various
muscle groups, including your arms, legs, and core.
Improved balance and agility: The quick movements
and changes in direction required in TT enhance your
balance and agility.
Low-impact exercise: Compared to many other
sports, TT is gentle on the joints, making it suitable
for people of all ages and fitness levels.
Mental Benefits:
Stress reduction: Engaging in physical activity like TT
can help reduce stress and anxiety.
Improved concentration: The game demands focus
and attention, which can enhance your concentration
skills.
Boosted cognitive function: Studies have shown that
TT can improve cognitive function, including memory
and problem-solving abilities.
Enhanced decision-making: The need to quickly
assess the situation and make strategic decisions can
improve your decision-making skills.
Social interaction: Playing TT with others can provide
opportunities for social interaction and enjoyment.
Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting
out, TT offers a fun and effective way to improve your
physical and mental health.

Additional information (optional)

You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

Achievements against objectives
set		 Para 1.41 The charity has provided coaching, competitive and
non-competitive Table Tennis.
It has promoted the club within the local community
and Table Tennis as a whole.
It has managed sessions delivered at Broadoak
Academy and elsewhere.
It has ensured a duty of care to all members of the
club.
It has provided services in a way that is fair to

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial
position at the end of the period		 Para 1.21 At the end of this reporting period the charity is in a
Business-as-Usual operating mode and is proving to
be operating as a going concern and financially
sound.
Statement explaining the policy for
holding reserves stating why they
are held		 Para 1.22 The Charity has decided it will try to maintain a
reserve of ~£2,000, so it is able to react to small
unforeseeable costs due to dips in attendance or
increase in venue hire costs.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 £2,000
Reasons for holding zero reserves Para 1.22 NA. The Charity operates on the principle of
maintaininga £2,000 reserve
Details of fund materially in deficit Para 1.24 Not Applicable as the charity does not have any funds
that are materiallyin deficit.
Explanation of any uncertainties
about the charity continuing as a
going concern		 Para 1.23 The Cost-of-Living Crisis persists. Whilst TT can
deliver significant benefits, it is considered a luxury
not a necessity to many. There is a risk that the Cost
of Living continues to reduce the amount of
disposable cash of the charity’s members, and thus in
turn through natural prioritisation could significantly
impact the numbers.
The club instantiation of the charity is in a BAU stage
and remains heavily reliant upon the current CEO
performing many of the requisite roles. Should the
charity lose the CEO, the charity may effectively
cease to function.
Currently the venue is provided to the charity by
bespoke hiring of one, many or all spaces the
Broadoak Sports Academy facilities via Cabot
Learning Facilities (CLF). In this reporting period the
charity has been able to afford raising the bookings
from one Badminton court’s worth of space up to a
full sports hall.
CLF have increased the costs of booking spaces but
the charity has been able to absorb these costs for
now, further increases would bring additional risk
from an affordability perspective.
Additional information (optional)
You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
The charity’s principal sources of
funds (including any fundraising)		 Para 1.47 In this reporting period the charity has relied upon
annual and session subscriptions, and a small sale of
TT bats which the club makes up themselves.
Investment policy and objectives
including any social investment
policy adopted		 Para 1.46 Not Applicable as the charity does not have any such
policies.
A description of the principal risks
facing the charity		 Para 1.46 As above:
Cost of Living Crisis.
Heavily reliant upon the current CEO.
Venue hires and costs.
The club instantiation of the charityhasgrown and
Other make a difference to many people’s lives in the local
and surrounding areas, but the sustainment of this
growth depends upon having sufficient capable and
qualified people.
Growing these people has been challenging without
an additional injection of funds, and although the
charity has looked at funding opportunities with local
organisations and grant providers we have been
unsuccessful in raising additional funds to support
thepeoplegrowthplan.
