Trustees’ Annual Report for the period From 1 January 2020 To 31 December 2020
Charity name: Overton Recreation Centre
Charity registration number: 301912
Introduction
The charity was set up over 55 years ago to provide sport and recreation facilities. It is supported financially by its own membership lottery scheme. There are 30 acres of sports field on 3 sites with 3 buildings providing facilities for many sports and leisure interests to the benefit of local people
2020 has been a year like no other for our organisation and its fair to say we have lived through unprecedented times with covid causing play and participation in all sports and activities to be suspended at times through the year. And so, fund raising activities were disrupted. This report will focus on how we managed our activities and finances through the year.
Activities and achievements
Improving our grounds and facilities
We took an early decision to make sure that we took a responsible approach to safely maintaining the grounds & pavilions during the lockdowns so thanks must go to the staff & volunteers involved. A special thank you must go to Dennis Rowles who made himself constantly available to address issues, actions and ideas for improvements.
Maintaining membership and increasing use of our facilities.
In spite of the disruptions to our income we continued to manage the monthly lottery prize draw with Emma Scoggins and her team faithfully dedicated to the process of distributing more than £2000 in cash prizes. Incredibly during this dislocating year our membership remained constant and it is anticipated that as we pull away from the pandemic we will grow. This surely demonstrates the strength of our offer and value provided so as to engender loyalty.
Developing fund raising events to raise our profile and encourage use of our facilities
We were unable to hold any events in the year due the pandemic.
Updating our online profile
All events are posted on the event calendar and can be viewed online.
Building local relationships
Overton Recreation Centre continues to work to build relationships with local groups but much of this has been on hold this year due to the pandemic
Contribution of volunteers
The ORC could not run without a small army of volunteers who give up their time and energy- the chair, secretary, treasurer, membership secretary, committee members and collectors and those who take time to represent their clubs and associations. We cooperate with one another, we respect each other, we talk about things and we get things done consensually.
The future and its challenges
Maintain usage of facilities following pandemic
Before the Pandemic struck the ORC had more than 12 clubs and societies using our facilities continuously. In 2019 more than 40,000 people used what was available and more than 100 volunteers helped facilitate activities. The consequences of Covid have seen usage halve and although there are signs things are returning to normal, we must continue to work hard together as a team. One of the things that stands out about the ORC is the ability of the local volunteers, clubs and societies to find solutions to problems in the interests of pursuing their sports and activities. We cooperate with one another, we respect each other, we talk about things and we get things done consensually.
Continued financial stability
Through the good work of our treasurer along with secretary Alan Macarthur who accessed some local authority grants, our bank balances have been maintained. We have also been pleased that the membership of our lottery prize draw is being maintained despite the pandemic which has been surprising to some. We will continue to work to increase the membership.
Maintain grounds and buildings
Before moving into the pandemic our committee had agreed that our strategy should be to carefully invest in facilities and equipment so as to strengthen our offer. A new fence for the tennis club, a new tractor and grass cutting equipment, car park resurfacing at Bridge Street, an overflow car park at Berrydown, and many other smaller things. And as we move through this year and beyond, we will continue a similar approach.
