Hingham Playing Field Association
Registered Charity No. 286060
Annual Report April 2024
The Trustees and committee of Hingham Playing Fields Association (HPFA) are delighted to present our annual report to Hingham town Council and the residents of Hingham.
The HPFA sports hall remains an invaluable resource in the town of Hingham, offering much needed sports facilities and activity classes for residents as well as plenty of open space for children and families, a cricket pitch and two football pitches, outdoor gym equipment, a play space, a skateboard park, and a large, grassed area for dog walkers.
Indoor facilities include badminton courts, pickleball courts, changing facilities and a viewing platform.
In 23/24 the cost-of-living crisis had a significant impact on the running costs required to keep the facilities open. This has required careful budgetary management. Plans for 24/25 include completing grant applications to obtain funds to enable us to reduce our electricity costs and become more energy efficient.
Other plans for 24/25 include fundraising to repair and replace our playground facilities which are becoming tired and challenging to safely maintain.
We have been delighted to welcome Hingham Community Cupboard Charity in making their home within our facility. We believe this has raised the profile of the charity and provides better support for families in need within our communities.
The HPFA remains home to a number of successful sports clubs such as cricket, football, tennis, table tennis, short mat bowls, pickleball, archery, judo, and badminton. Each of these clubs provide reports for the HPFA.
Several of our sports clubs have expanded and become regional centres of excellence. The HPFA is now the South Norfolk home of pickleball, the Judo club has started planning to host regional competitions and booking extra sessions at HPFA to give the players specialised competition training. The Hingham Bowmen (archery club) has been hosting tournaments and the Short Mat Bowls team will be running a national competition weekend in October. The table tennis team have entered a team to play in The Wymondham Summer League and will shortly be adding additional sessions to their weekly timetable.
The committee have installed a new board at the entrance to the HPFA facilities, sponsored by several of our sports clubs and our partner in the sports centre, Abrahams Bar and Clubhouse.
We continue to work very closely with Abrahams Bar and Clubhouse and Apollo events to provide a range of family friendly and seasonal activities to entertain and bring people together.
We now submit this report to Higham Town Council and residents of Hingham for their information and approval.
The Trustees and committee of HPFA.
