In the interests of soaal welfare, to improve the conditions of life for the inhabitants of the area without distinction of politj'cal. religious or other opinions by the wovision and maintenance of a recreation ground. Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular the activities, projects or sep4ices identified in the accounts {1.17 and 1.19).. In addition to maintaining the grounds, the committee also manages the new pavilion with it's dual role as a space for sports and ￿Mmunity use and as a significant Sour￿ of intxme to support the objects of the charty. (1.18) Throughout these activities, the committee maintsins due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. {1.38) In addition to the activtties of the committee members, we also recognise the ntribution made by volunteers, both in staffing the new pavilion and in helping with various fundraising events over the year. Achievements and Performance (1.20) We continue to benefit frorn inc¢)rne produced by the Pavilion Bar, although noticeably reduced from Ihe previous year due to problems with the external caterers providing hot food on Friday evenings and the folding of the local football dub. A new caterer is being engaged to start shortly, but the football dub remains a problem to be resolved. At the beginning of the financial year, we were successful in applying for a grant under the "Cornwall Levelling UP. scheme, which has enabled several enhancements to the facility we manage. The driveway has received a pernianent surface. the patio, in front of the bar, has received a top surface and an all-weather awning. Internally, the walls and ceiling have had acoustic absorbent pane15fftted, some with photographic images applied - making 8 big difference to the usability and appearance of the room. Also, we have been 8ble to finish off equipping the kitchen with better storage and more usable worktop space. Financial Review Running costs, particularly electricty and gas continue to increase, but we have been able to avoid cost increases in other areas. The CLUP project needed careful planning for cashflow as stage payments *Duld only be received retrospectively (typically received from Comwall Council 2 months after we had paid our suppliers). aided by 8 short-term loan from a local charity and taking some from our ￿ServeS. The dnveway, patio and awning have all enhanced the value of our a&sets, whilst the other works were classed as 'Repairs and Renewals.. Policy on reserves (1.22)..
