Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the maln
achievements of the charity
during the year
While 2024-2025 has been a year of many Suc￿sSes, the Trust has also
fa¢ed several challenges..
Risin
erational Costs:
Increased energy prices and general inflation have placed pressure on
our operating budget, particularly for the swimming pool and grounds
maintenance.
Volunteer ReGruitment.' As with many cornmunity organi8ations, we
continue to rely heavily an volunteers. Recruiting and retaining enough
volunteers to support events and daily operations remains an ongoing
Ghallenge.
Facilit Wear and Tear.. With increased usag8 com88 increa8ed strain on
our facilities. Several areas of the Clubhcuse continue to be in need of
repair or refurbishment including changing roorns, the main hall, the
driveway and the Clubhouse roof. An assessment of our annual income
and foreGa$ted expenditu￿ in late 2024 resulted in confimiing that
additional funding would be needed to complete most of the work
necessary.
Weather De
enden
The outdoor nature of many of our activities,
especially the pool and running events, means that poor weather can
significantly impact attendance and income. Amongst the sports
support&J by the Trust there were some positives which I'd also like to
Gail oui.
Swimming Pool
2024 was a reGord-breaking year for our much-loved communty pool,
with 11,143 visitors, marking a 380A increase from 2023. This surge in
attendan￿ reflects both the popularity of the pool and the dedicatlon of
our staff and volunteers.
Income sour￿.. - Ticket sales.. 650A - Tea Shed.. 24% - Fundraising &
donations: 8%

Section D
Achievements and performance
The Tea Shed continues to be a vrtal part of the pool experience. offering
refreshments and a welcoming atmosphere for swimmers and spectators
alike.
In order to simplify accounting and increase transparency, during the
year it was decided to absorb all of the funds held in the variou$
Swimming Pool Committee's bank accounts into the Trust's accounts,
where they are kept distinct from the funds of our other activities. This
has created a Restricted Swimming Pool fund. The Pool Committee have
a¢ce$s to these accounts for the purFK)8e of making payment8 and
banking income.
Cricket
2024 was a landmark year for Chagford Cricket Club. Both the First and
Second Xl enjoyed near-unbeaten seasons, eaming double promotions.
The junior section continues to thrive, nurturing trE next generation of
players.
Looking ahead, 2025 marks the launch of our new Ladies Section, led by
Grace Lewis, who joins us from Australia to spearhead this 8XClting
development. Grace's leadership is expected to inspire further growth
and participation across the club.
Football
The football team aim to develop the club's profile with a recruitment
drive for volunteers, upscaling their training and fund raising to build
plalfomi for developing another team either youth, second or women's.
They are recruiting and reshuffling their Committee to support this drive,
including a new chair who would attend the trust meetings and be their
liaison.
They are also aiming to have at least one large-SGale event in 2026,
possibly an intèresting challenge and would like to do some more cross
trust collaboration in developing this,
Chagford Runners
The Chagford Runners (CRS) ￿lebrated their 1 Oth anniversary in March
2025. From humble beginnings in 2015 wrth just over 10 members, the
club now boasts over I Cwj on the mailing list, with 1 ￿30 runners regularly
attending weekly sessions.
Highlights inGlude-.
The annual Couch to sk programma, which supports new and
returning runners over a 9-week joumey to fitness.
A strong ethos of inclusivity and mental wellbeing. with members
ranging from sk beginners to ultra-marathoners.
Active community involvement, inclLtding volunteering at the
Youth Club church abseil and participation in the event itself.
Continued success of the Two Hi1Ss Race, a flagship event that
draws runners from across the region while celebrating local
spirit.
Tennls

Section D
Achievements and performance
Refurbishment of tennis club house was completed, induding new non
slip decking, replacing the dangerous old strudure. This is used for
viewing matches and acts as a great social space for players and
members.
Men's tennis league team was promoted for the third year in a row in
Devon league.
Netball
The Chagford netball team {Meldon Meerkats) had a very successful
geason playing in the Okehampton Winter league finishing third overall.
They are now playing in Chagford again where everyone is welcome to
ome along and play social n8tball until August.
Throughout August, they will begin playing friendly games at the
Chagford netball court, against other local teams in the Okehampton
league before lh6 Winter league starts.
Restrictod Funds
Greenwayslcycle Track Fund: Thesa funds represent the balaneE of
funds remaining aftef the feasibility study into the Greenways Cycle
Track. As the project was not able to proceed, advic8 is being sought on
an appropriat? Use for these funds within the objects of the Trust.
Mental Health Fund.. Although activities to support mental health have
been undertaken, these have not yet been at a cost to the Trust.
Looking Ahead
As we move into 2025-2026, the Trustees are focused on building on our
suceasses and addressing the challenges ahead. Key prioritie$ includé'.-
Facility Improvements.. Seeking funding and communty 8UPPOrt to
refurbish key areas of the Clubhouse
CDmmunity Events.. Strengthening our calendar of events to bring
people together, raise funds, and celebrate local talent and spirit.
Volunteer Engagement.. Launching a new volunteer drive to
attract and retain helpers across all areas of the Trust'$ work.
The Trustees remain committed to ensuring that Chagford's recreational
facilities continue to thrive as a hub for health, wellbeing. and community
connection.
As the Chair of the CRT I would like to th2nk the existino trustees 2nd 211
Ine Volunteers who work with the affiliated clubs for their time, generosity
and continued hard work in the last period.

Section E
Financial review
Brief statemènt of the
charity's policy on reservos
Reserves are retained primarily for the purpose of new sporting and
recreational facilities. If the community wishes to d8v81op any particular

facility or run a project, we will help them fund raise so that the funds
raised cover the majorrty of the cost of the project. The routine income
generated from activities is used to support the annual Maintenan￿ of
those facilities.
Zero reserves will only be held rf there is a clear plan to generate positive
reserves in the following year and current reserves are required to pump
prime that project.
Details of any funds materially
In deficit
The funds are not in deficrt.
Further financial review details
Amount of reserves held..
As at the end of 318t December 2024. ¢ash rese￿eS of £98,931 were
held.
Rèview of the charity's
financial position at the end
of the period..
Financially the Trust does not hold any significant reserves bul aims to at
least breakeven on normal operations by balancing income and
expenditure in each year. The Trust's accounts are maintained on Xero,
with bank feeds for all accounts. This allows all of the Trustees to have
read only arKess to the accounts and bank statements ensuring full
transparency of all financial transactions.
Glft Ald income, although Restricted income for the benefrt of each fund
18 fully utilised in covering the annual running costs and therefore, for
ease of understanding is shown as income in each Unrestricted
Designated fund.
Transfers have been recorded this year out of the General Restricted
Fund to aid transparency of the restricted funds held for specific
purposes.
As the Trust's Clubhouse at the Memorial Playing Field is now around 30
years old this approach needs to be reviewed as fa¢ilitie$ are likely to
require increasing levels of high cost Maintenan￿ and repair, e.g.
heating, roof, drivèway etc 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 r8quires considerabl8 regular work to continue to
operate safely and effectively and whilst so far, the majority of these
costs have beon cover8d from regular income and fund raising events it
would be unwise to assume this state of affairs can Continue indefinitely.
Unrestricted income in 2024 increased signfficantly this year following the
swlmming pool committee's contribution wlth costs also Increasing by
7%. This PrI￿UCed a net surplus of around £61,000.
Both sporting and Social activiti8s operated at a similar level to 2023
however there is good scope and a desire from the Truslees for the
facilities to 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, Tenni$ and Swimming wtth
the more recently fomied 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
30 % below the pre-covirj peak and the Trust wishes to encourage more
local use of this
articular facilit which offers a low cost route to fitne8S.
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
harity Gontinuing as a going
concem

Going forward the Trustees hav8 identffied a number of areas of focus to
support the sustainabilrty of the Trust:
lil Generation of Increased regular income (particularly from social
events)
Wtder promotion of the Trust's services to increase local
awareness and use of tacilitles
{iii} Preparation for the likely n•8d for increased repair and
improvement costs in the relatively near future
{iv} Attracting more local people with a broader skill range to
become involved in the management and marketing of tho
