Section C Ob'ectives and activities Summary ofthe objects ofthe charity set out in Its governing document Thè Charivs objectives are to promote and provide facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation in Ihe interests of social welfare in the parishes of Chagford, Gidleigh, Throwleigh and Drewsteignton - for both residents and visitors. Summary of the maln activlties undertaken for the publlc benefit In relation to these objects We maintsin facilities for Foolball, Cricket, Tennis. Netball and Swimming and support a range of other sporting and recreational activities activities, including running and the use of a gym statement confirniing whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance Issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit The Irustees are aware of the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and ensure that all actlvities are confined to those covered by our charitable objects. Section D Achievements and performance Sumrnary ofthe main achievements of the charlty durlng the year 2023 was a comparativety nomial y8ar for the Trust and ils associated Clubs and activities with no ex￿pIlOnaS capital projects or special fund raising required. The main external factor affecting operations, particularly for the Chagford Swimming Pool, was the high level of energy prices. As this report is written almost haI￿aY through 2024 prices have now come down but still remain significantly above those enjoyed a little over years ago. I would like to thank the existing truslees and all the volunteers who work with the affiliated clubs for their time, generosity and hard work in enabling the Trust to provide Se￿Ice$ to so many in the local communities. Section E Financial review Brief statemènt of the charity's pollcy on reserves Reserves are relalned primarily for the purpose of pump priming new sporting and re¢￿atIonal facilities. If the community wishes to develop any particular facility or run a project, we will help them fund raise so that the funds raised cover the majority of the cost of the project. The roLrtine income generated from activities is used to support the annual maintenance of those facilities. Zero reseNes will only be held if there is a clear plan to generate positive reserves in the following year and current reserves are required to pump prime that project. Detalls of any funds materlally In deficlt The funds are not in deficit. TAR Dec 2023

Furtherfinancial review detalls Amount of reserves held.. As at the end of 31 St December 2023, cash reserves of £37,687 were held. Review of the charity's financial position at the end of the period.. Financially the Trust does not hold any slgnfficant reseNes but aims to at least breakeven on normal operations by balancing income and expenditure in each year. As the Trust's Clubhouse at the Memorial Playing Field is now around 30 years old this approach needs to be reviewed as facilities are likely to require increasing levels of high cost maintenance and repair, e.g. heating, roof, driveway etG all of which would benefit from investment in the near future and where in some cases costs are already starting to be incurred. The Pool also requires considerable regular work to continue to operate safely and effectively and whilst so far, the majority of these costs have been covered from regular income and fund raising events it would be unwise to assume this state of affaiTS can continue indefinitely. Unrestricted income in 2023 was down around 4Yo from the previous year with comparable costs dropping 7 % . This produced a net excess of cost over income of around £3,000. Cashflow was assisted receipt of gift aid from prior periods. Both sporting and social activities operaled at a similar level to 2022 however Ihere is good scope and a desire from the Trustees for the facililies lo be used more widely by the community particularly for social events which can directly and indirectly generate useful income. The main sports and wellbeing activities using Trust facilities are the traditional ones of Football, Cricket, Running, Tennis and Swimming with the more recently formed Netball Club also growing in popularity. The Trust provided the funding to renew netball court markings on the tennis Courts to assist in this development. The Clubhouse Gym and Studio are also reasonably well used however gym membership remains around 30010 below the pr&Covid peak and the Trust wishes to encourage more local use of this particular facility which offers a low cost roule to fftness. Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going conc8rn Going forward the Trustees have identified a number of areas of focus to support the sustainability of the Trust.. {il Generation of increased regular income {parttcularly from social events) Wider promotion of the Trust's services to increase local awareness and use of facilities Preparation for the likely need for increased repair and improvement costs in the relatively near future Attracting more local people with a broader skill range to become involved in the management and marketing of the Trust livl Section F Other optional information Reason for non-disclosure of key personnel detalls: No details have been withheld TAR Dac 2023
