Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	To manage the Brimpton Recreation Ground in Crookham Common Road to provide football facilities for local teams.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	After many years of local football, the local teams folded and, despite best endeavours, there was no prospect of them being revived. Nor was there any demand by local inhabitants for other recreational activities at this site, mainly because it is poorly situated and not even in the village. Therefore, in accordance with the governing document and in consultation with the Charity Commission, the trustees achieved local support to sell the existing recreation ground and seek a better located site nearer to the centre of the village. The sale was completed in November 2020.

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	Since 1965, the charity has provided recreational facilities for the inhabitants of Brimpton. Originally, this involved cricket as well as football. Partly due to social changes and partly due to the poor location of the ground, the recreational use had gradually dwindled and ceased altogether when the local football teams folded. The governing document anticipated that this might happen and gave the trustees the power, subject to approval from the local inhabitants, to sell the land and either relocate or use the proceeds in some other way for the benefit of the local inhabitants. Local inhabitants approved the sale and it was completed in November 2020.
