**Charity** : Triangle Adventure Playground Association 


## **Charity Registration Number:** 303145 


_The game begins!_ 

## _**Objectives of the Association**_ 

The Triangle Adventure Playground Association was formed in 1957. The constitution states that it is the Association's purpose to service, fund and maintain the Triangle Adventure Playground for the benefit of young people between the ages of six and seventeen. The Association's primary aim is to provide a safe and secure environment in which all the young people of the community may develop personal and social skills through creative interaction in enjoyable play. Members of the Association believe that it is through such interaction and activities that young people establish active lifestyles; come to feel secure in themselves and in their ability to make full use of their education; achieve their maximum potential; develop fulfilling relationships with their peers; avoid being drawn into crime and involve themselves positively in the wider community. 

The Association provides staff, structures, movable equipment, tools, and materials in a triangle of green space on the Ashmole estates in North Lambeth. The playground is heavily used by local children and young people who otherwise have no access to supervised, outdoor, natural play space within a built-up urban

environment. Young people who use the playground are encouraged by its staff to develop a sense of ownership of their playground and to experience 'active citizenship' in that they create and 'police' the playground's code of conduct and lead the development of the site through regular ‘Youth Forum’ meetings. 

Triangle operates as an open-access playground. All young people aged 6-17 are welcome to come and go as they please. Children under 6 may attend but only if always supervised by an adult or responsible older sibling. The Association cannot take responsibility for children under 6. Access is free. Users are required to complete a registration form for health and safety reasons and to provide monitoring information for our funders. 

Trustees go through this report at the AGM

## **Small Charity - BIG Impact - A Triangle year to remember** 

March 20th, 2020, saw the Triangle Adventure Playground shut its gates as lockdown began and 63 years of uninterrupted play was put on pause. In the following twelve months our charity overcame unique challenges whilst firmly adhering to our core ethos - every child has the right to play. 

Masks, site alterations, QR codes, PPE, tests, bubbles, temperature checks and more. It is difficult to discuss the Triangle and our year’s impact without mentioning all the above. We prefer to focus on the highlights but should make clear that behind the joy and play there has been extraordinary effort involved to keep all our young people, families and playworkers safe.

_Triangle online featuring castles, gerbils, yo yo tricks, spiderman, gymnastics and more_ 

The Triangle supported the hundreds of young people who rely on us by providing play by any means necessary when the pandemic struck. Over the two lockdowns we delivered more than 450 hours of online zoom play sessions, bringing together our Triangle community of young people and families for dress up discos, Nature Club, Chess Club, AT Family Fitness, arts and crafts and a whole lot more bonkers fun. Denied the right to play and stuck at home is no way for our children to develop. We ensured they saw friends, kept active, had an outlet to share any stress they were experiencing and even learnt new skills such as how to play chess. To assist the #stayathome fun, our small team of play workers and volunteers hand delivered two hundred play packs, including footballs; colouring pencils; whoopee cushions; activity sheets and toys galore along with twenty-three digital access packs (Samsung Tablets & WIFI). It was the perfect opportunity to check in on our young people and bring a much-welcomed gift.

_Play packs and tablets_ 

Despite the limitations of bubbles and booking systems imposed on us, the Triangle was able to reopen from July 27th, 2020, all the way until the second lockdown began in January 2021. Since March 8th, 2021, we have been open again and have our fingers crossed for a return to full open access in the not-too-distant future. The desire to play, and the benefits of play, have never been more evident than now. The award-winning play, mental and physical freedom found at Triangle has been the perfect antidote to the loneliness, boredom, isolation and challenges our young people have faced. The tidal wave of joyful screams and intense activity as each of our daily bubbles returned were a sure-fire sign that the Triangle kids were glad to be back. 

The Triangle was proud to be a joint winner of London Play Adventure Playground of the Year 2020 and to be shortlisted for the Children & Young People Now award 2020 for our response to the challenge of play in a pandemic. We were also very pleased to receive our Lambeth Made Charter Community Impact Award from Lambeth Council. 

This year in particular has proven how important we are to our community. Not just a place to play, the Triangle is a place for our global Oval community to bond and come together. The trust built in us and each other has helped us share food supplies, give emotional support, and become a hub for the community during these extraordinary times. As we look ahead to a long, glorious summer of play, we’d like to thank our friends, supporters, funders, play workers and volunteers, and most importantly our Triangle kids and their families who for generations have made Triangle the magical place it is today.

_Jim Clancey 2017_ 

As we thank the Triangle community for coming together this year, we must make a special mention to two of the most special people in Triangle history. After a combined circa 50 years of exceptional service, Jim Clancey and Anne-Marie Martin have stepped down from their roles as Chair and Treasurer respectively. As an organisation and a community, we cannot thank them enough for their dedication over so many years. The impact they made and the legacy they leave is extraordinary. Under their stewardship the Triangle has overcome many challenges and cemented our reputation as a thriving adventure playground at the heart of the community it serves. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Triangle would likely not exist today without the immense contribution and effort made by Jim and Anne-Marie. 

Jim has led the Triangle by example, a ferocious advocate of children’s right to play combined with a resolute compassion for young people and his Oval community. Anne-Marie joined Triangle a few years after Jim, but her impact is no less important. Under her prudent financial guidance, the Triangle has always remained on a safe and solid footing, despite tumultuous statutory funding changes over her time. Outside of their official roles Jim and Anne-Marie’s enthusiasm for the Triangle is what really stands out. Be it the hundreds of cakes Anne-Marie baked for our cake sales or Jim’s cheerful involvement in play sessions, the Triangle will forever be indebted to these two kind and wonderful people. The thousands of young people and generations of families who have benefited from their time at Triangle is evidence of an enduring and benevolent legacy. We look forward to welcoming Jim and Anne-Marie back to Triangle in 2022 to celebrate their achievements.

## _**Play**_ 


_can you spot the tree climber?_ 

While the site was open, we continued to provide free play for the children. When the site was closed, we interacted with the children providing numerous online physical and creative activities. 

- **Sport and Healthy Activity:** Despite our small site we have always offered a wide range of physical activities that exercise both the need of an individual to test themselves and the need of a group to form alliances within a team. Alongside our giant swings and play structures and a plethora of trees for climbing, we run many active group games such as Family IT, sports on offer include football,

Triangle Adventure Playground Association-encouraging community cohesion through play since 1957 Website: www.triangleadventureplayground.com. Twitter: @Triangle_APG Email: triangleapg@gmail.com 



badminton, dodgeball and more. Gymnastics on our astro turf and trampoline are other examples of the multitude of physical activities we offer in any session. 

Our Bike Life project has just begun as we offer young people the chance to practice or learn to ride and basic bike maintenance skills led by our young adult playworker. 

- **Outdoor Adventure Play** - Camping, bushcraft and woodwork were at the forefront of play in Summer 2020. The Triangle is a unique and wild green space for the young people of Lambeth, many of whom live in cramped social housing and have no outdoor space to call their own. A chance to use proper tools, set up tents and canopies amongst our Triangle wildlife and build campfires brought fun and life skills to play. 

- **Arts & Crafts** - A staple of play at Triangle. Hama bead creations, drawings, paintings, and loose part sculpture are just some of the creative outlets for our young people. During lockdown many times our young people shared their artwork, and we also came together online to create imagery with digital art tools. 

- **Free Play** - A crucial part of mental health support and development is the free play we provide. Our supportive, encouraging, and playful environment means young people can partake in any imaginary or role play game they wish, enlisting playworkers to help create the world! This play helps young children work out problems and express themselves freely. 

- **Cookery – lunch and snack time** Due to COVID and food preparation restrictions we had to stop preparing food, but hot lunches were still provided for the young people by Berkeley Homes and Mayor’s Fund for London Kitchen Social Hub. Special thanks to Chef Emiliano Bellio of Berkeley St Edward Oval Village for the Xmas lunches! 

- **Holiday Schemes** We managed to open over the summer holidays with relief staff while our permanent staff ran the online programme. A special acknowledgement must go to Sarah Grand and Jon Sellers for joining our staff team to help deliver a successful Summer holiday playscheme during the challenge of a global pandemic.

_Campfire built, time to roast some marshmallows_ 

- **Nature Club -** Running a nature club during lockdowns is no easy task and so great credit must go to our project leader for creating an engaging, fun, and educational online nature club. Seeds sent in the post, growing competitions, camouflage challenges and some wild(life) arts and crafts online helped our young people improve their knowledge of nature through practical engagement and keep their mental health supported. Upon our return to site Nature Club set about a overgrown post lockdown allotment and garden along with regular campfires, an ever popular activity with the Triangle young people. A highlight of the year was our Nature Club featuring on BBC Radio 4 and the front page the of South London Press. special thanks to our young person G. aged 10 who was interviewed about why they love nature club. 

- **Eleven Plus Club -** As our Eleven Plus Club project came to an end after Covid had impacted its final year we were delighted to be offered the final funding for a legacy piece of equipment. The young people requested a skate ramp and thanks to the hard work of our playworker team and Vice Chair Alan Sutton it was built in just over a week. The ramp continues to prove a hit with the young people both for skateboarding and a wide variety of group games. 

- **Active Together Family Fitness -** Moving online so quickly and seeing families attend the online physical activity sessions was a highlight for our AT team, they managed to keep numbers relatively consistent, even bringing in new families from outside London. Activities throughout the year included Capoeira, football, boxing, karate, yoga and go karting. Post lockdown saw the return of our face-toface sessions with added restrictions including numbers and social distancing. We adapted our sessions to these new regulations, keeping the fun encouraging energy that the families love about our sessions. A number of parents changed their attitude to physical activity over the 6 months post lockdown, taking up activities outside of our sessions and started to enjoy sport for the first time. The weekly family pedometer challenge proved a particular highlight and has continued beyond each lockdown with many families taking part.

- **Volunteer to Playworker Scheme -** This year we continued our efforts to employ young adults from the local community via our volunteer to playworker scheme. We are pleased to currently have two sessional playworkers who have graduated from this scheme and also played at Triangle in their childhood under the guidance of our Senior Playworker.

## **We would like to express our gratitude to all the individual supporters who have donated this year.** 

## _**Financial Review**_ 

As at the end March 2021, cash at bank was £153,376.42. 

The Association relies entirely on grants and fundraising. Our reserves policy requires that the level of reserves must be based on running costs for six months plus closure costs. Last year was quite unique. We had income in excess of £240,000. However, our expenditure also increased by 25%, driven by salaries, in order to deliver the remote service alongside the summer program. 

Most of the excess income was driven by Covid related grants, of over £71,000. We were also successful in securing grants such as CLIPS and TFL walk & cycle. We had more income from Projects due to Sports England running for the full year, and HMRC due to the furloughing funds. Enterprise was obviously down due to Covid, and this can be an area of focus in the coming year. 

We received £12,690 from 80 donors with regular recurring payments during the year. Additionally, we received several one-off donations totalling £4,028, as well as a single donor giving an incredibly generous £20,000 towards the playground. 

We hold a reserve of six months running costs plus closure costs which comes to £100,000 A combination of multi-year projects focussing on nature as well as family fitness, alongside various grants though Lambeth council has secured the charity to continue over the next few years.

A highlight of the year was our Nature Club featuring on BBC Radio 4 and the front page the of South London Press. special thanks to our young person G. aged 10 who was interviewed about why they love nature club. 

**Eleven Plus Club** - As our Eleven Plus Club project came to an end after Covid had impacted its final year we were delighted to be offered the final funding for a legacy piece of equipment. The young people requested a skate ramp and thanks to the hard work of our playworker team and Vice Chair Alan Sutton it was built in just over a week. The ramp continues to prove a hit with the young people both for skateboarding and  a wide variety of group games. 

**Active Together Family Fitness** - Moving online so quickly and seeing families attend the online physical activity sessions was a highlight for our AT team, they managed to keep numbers relatively consistent, even bringing in new families from outside London. Activities throughout the year included Capoeira, football, boxing, karate, yoga and go karting. Post lockdown saw the return of our face-to-face sessions with added restrictions including numbers and social distancing. We adapted our sessions to these new regulations, keeping the fun encouraging energy that the families love about our sessions. A number of parents changed their attitude to physical activity over the 6 months post lockdown, taking up activities outside of our sessions and started to enjoy sport for the first time. The weekly family pedometer challenge proved a particular highlight and has c ontinued beyond each lockdown with many families taking part. 

**Volunteer to Playworker Scheme** - This year we continued our efforts to employ young adults from the local community via our volunteer to playworker scheme. We are pleased to currently have two sessional playworkers who have graduated from this scheme and also played at Triangle in their childhood under the guidance of our Senior Playwork er.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021** 

**Rahul Moodgal** for his generous PPE donation and continued exceptional support **Charlotte and Matthew Vaight** for their generous long-term support **AS&K Communications** for selecting us as their chosen charity for the month of November 2020 **Emma Jungling** for holding a local street concert fundraiser 

## **We would like to express our gratitude to all the individual supporters who have donated this year.** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

As at the end March 2021, cash at bank was £153,377.78. 

The Association relies entirely on grants and fundraising. Our reserves policy requires that the level of reserves must be based on running costs for six months plus closure costs. Annual income finished at £248,835 for the year, an increase on the previous year. Most of the extra income was driven by Covid related grants, of over £71,000. However, our expenditure also increased by 25%, driven by salaries, to deliver the remote service alongside the summer program. 

We were also successful in securing grants such as CLIPS and TFL walk & cycle. We had more income from Projects due to Sports England running for the full year, and HMRC due to the furloughing funds. Enterprise was obviously down due to Covid, and this can be an area of focus in the coming year. 

We received £12,690 from 80 donors with regular recurring payments during the year. Additionally, we received several one-off donations totalling £4,028, as well as a single donor giving an incredibly generous £20,000 towards the playground. 

We hold a reserve of six months running costs plus closure costs which comes to £100,000 A combination of multi-year projects focussing on nature as well as family fitness, alongside various grants though Lambeth council has secured the charity to continue over the next few years.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The Triangle Adventure Playground Association was formed in 1957. The constitution states that it is the Association's purpose to service, fund and maintain the Triangle Adventure Playground for the benefit of young people between the ages of six and seventeen. The Association's primary aim is to provide a safe and secure environment in which all the young people of the community may develop personal and social skills through creative interaction in enjoyable play. Members of the Association believe that it is through such interaction and activities that young people establish active lifestyles; come to feel secure in themselves and in their ability to make full use of their education; achieve their maximum potential; develop fulfilling relationships with their peers; avoid being drawn into crime and involve themselves positively in the wider community. 

The Association provides staff, structures, movable equipment, tools, and materials in a triangle of green space on the Ashmole estates in North Lambeth. The playground is heavily used by local children and young people who otherwise have no access to supervised, outdoor, natural play space within a built-up urban environment. Young people who use the playground are encouraged by its staff to develop a sense of ownership of their playground and to experience 'active citizenship' in that they create and 'police' the playground's code of conduct and lead the development of the site through regular 'Youth Forum' meetings. 

Triangle operates as an open-access playground. All young people aged 6-17 are welcome to come and go  as they please. Children under 6 may attend but only if always supervised by an adult or responsible older sibling. The Association cannot take responsibility for children under 6. Access is free. Users are required to complete a registration form for health and safety reasons and to provide monitoring information for our funders. 

As we thank the Triangle community for coming together this year, we must make a special mention to two of the most special people in Triangle history. After a combined circa 50 years of exceptional service, Jim Clancey and Anne-Marie Martin have stepped down from their roles as Chair and Treasurer respectively. As an organisation and a community, we cannot thank them enough for their dedication over so many years. The impact they made and the legacy they leave is extraordinary. Under their stewardship the Triangle has overcome many challenges and cemented our reputation as a thriving adventure playground at the heart of the community it serves. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Triangle would likely not exist today without the immense contribution and effort made by Jim and Anne-Marie. 

Jim has led the Triangle by example, a ferocious advocate of children's right to play combined with a resolute compassion for young people and his Oval community. Anne-Marie joined Triangle a few years after Jim, but her impact is no less important. Under her prudent financial guidance, the Triangle has always remained on a safe and solid footing, despite tumultuous statutory funding changes over her time. Outside of their official roles Jim and Anne-Marie's enthusiasm for the Triangle is what really stands out. Be it the hundreds of cakes Anne-Marie baked for our cake sales or Jim's cheerful involvement in play sessions, the Triangle will forever be indebted to these two kind and wonderful people. The thousands of young people and generations of families who have benefited from their time at Triangle is evidence of an enduring and benevolent legacy. We look forward to welcoming Jim and Anne-Marie back to Triangle in 2022 to  celebrate their achievements.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities Small Charity - BIG Impact - A Triangle year to remember** 

March 20th, 2020, saw the Triangle Adventure Playground shut its gates as lockdown began and 63 years of uninterrupted play was put on pause. In the following twelve months our charity overcame unique challenges whilst firmly adhering to our core ethos - every child has the right to play. 

Masks, site alterations, QR codes, PPE, tests, bubbles, temperature checks and more. It is difficult to discuss the Triangle and our year's impact without mentioning all the above. We prefer to focus on the highlights but should make clear that behind the joy and play there has been extraordinary effort involved to keep all our young people, families and playworkers safe. 

The Triangle supported the hundreds of young people who rely on us by providing play by any means necessary when the pandemic struck. Over the two lockdowns we delivered more than 450 hours of online zoom play sessions, bringing together our Triangle community of young people and families for dress up discos, Nature Club, Chess Club, AT Family Fitness, arts and crafts and a whole lot more bonkers fun. Denied the right to play and stuck at home is no way for our children to develop. We ensured they saw friends, kept active, had an outlet to share any stress they were experiencing and even learnt new skills such as how to play chess. To assist the #stayathome fun, our small team of play workers and volunteers hand delivered two hundred play packs, including footballs; colouring pencils; whoopee cushions; activity sheets and toys galore along with twenty-three digital access packs (Samsung Tablets & WIFI). It was the perfect opportunity to check in on our young people and bring a much-welcomed gift. 

Despite the limitations of bubbles and booking systems imposed on us, the Triangle was able to reopen from July 27th, 2020, all the way until the second lockdown began in January 2021. Since March 8th, 2021, we have been open again and have our fingers crossed for a return to full open access in the not-too-distant future. 

The desire to play, and the benefits of play, have never been more evident than now. The award-winning play, mental and physical freedom found at Triangle has been the perfect antidote to the loneliness, boredom, isolation and challenges our young people have faced. The tidal wave of joyful screams and intense activity as each of our daily bubbles returned were a sure-fire sign that the Triangle kids were glad to be back. 

The Triangle was proud to be a joint winner of London Play Adventure Playground of the Year 2020 and to be shortlisted for the Children & Young People Now award 2020 for our response to the challenge of play in a pandemic. We were also very pleased to receive our Lambeth Made Charter Community Impact Award from Lambeth Council. 

This year in particular has proven how important we are to our community. Not just a place to play, the Triangle is a place for our global Oval community to bond and come together. The trust built in us and each other has helped us share food supplies, give emotional support, and become a hub for the community during these extraordinary times. As we look ahead to a long, glorious summer of play, we'd like to thank our friends, 

supporters, funders, play workers and volunteers, and most importantly our Triangle kids and their families who for generations have made Triangle the magical place it is today. 

This year due to COVID 19 we have had many closed site dates but were active online. The table below shows our site hours. We continued to provide a service to our youth throughout the year whether onsite or online.

27/7/2020-28/8/2020 Summer Holiday 12.00-18.00 Open on site also running online 31/8/20-4/9/20 Staff Holiday 7/9/20-23/10/20 Autumn Term 15:30-18:00 26/10/20-30/10/20 Autumn ½ Term 12.00-18.00 2/11/20-18/12/20 Winter Term 15:30-18:00 21/12/20-23/12/20 Christmas Holidays 12.00-18.00 28/12/20-31/12/20 Staff Holiday 4/1/21-5/3/21  Closed due to Covid Online activities ran 8/3/21-31/3/21 Spring Term 15:30-18:00 

Any review of this year will inevitably be overshadowed by Covid 19 Onsite we delivered 109 sessions had 121 users and 4372 play hours Online we delivered 275 sessions had 180 users and 2925 play hours. 

While the site was open, we continued to provide free play for the children. When the site was closed, we interacted with the children providing numerous online physical and creative activities. 

**Sport and Healthy Activity** : Despite our small site we have always offered a wide range of physical activities that exercise both the need of an individual to test themselves and the need of a group to form alliances within a team. Alongside our giant swings and play structures and a plethora of trees for climbing, we run many active group games such as Family IT, sports on offer include football, badminton, dodgeball and more. Gymnastics on our astro turf and trampoline are other examples of the multitude of physical activities we offer in any session. 

Our Bike Life project has just begun as we offer young people the chance to practice or learn to ride and basic bike maintenance skills led by our young adult playworker. 

**Outdoor Adventure Play** - Camping, bushcraft and woodwork were at the forefront of play in Summer 2020. The Triangle is a unique and wild green space for the young people of Lambeth, many of whom live in cramped social housing and have no outdoor space to call their own. A chance to use proper tools, set up tents and canopies amo ngst our Triangle wildlife and build campfires brought fun and life skills to play. 

**Arts & Crafts** - A staple of play at Triangle. Hama bead creations, drawings, paintings, and loose part sculpture are just some of the creative outlets for our young people. During lockdown many times our young people shared  their artwork, and we also came together online to create imagery with digital art tools. 

**Free Play** - A crucial part of mental health support and development is the free play we provide. Our supportive, encouraging, and playful environment means young people can partake in any imaginary or role play game they wish, enlisting playworkers to help create the world! This play helps young children work out problems and express themselves freely. 

**Cookery - lunch and snack time** Due to COVID and food preparation restrictions we had to stop preparing food, but hot lunches were still provided for the young people by Berkeley Homes and Mayor's Fund for London Kitchen Social Hub. Special thanks to Chef Emiliano Bellio of Berkeley St Edward Oval Village for the Xmas lunches! 

**Holiday Schemes** We managed to open over the summer holidays with relief staff while our permanent staff ran the online programme. A special acknowledgement must go to Sarah Grand and Jon Sellers for joining our staff team to help deliver a successful Summer holiday playscheme during the challenge of a global pandemic.

**Nature Club** - Running a nature club during lockdowns is no easy task and so great credit must go to our project leader for creating an engaging, fun, and educational online nature club. Seeds sent in the post, growing competitions, camouflage challenges and some wild(life) arts and crafts online helped our young people improve their knowledge of nature through practical engagement and keep their mental health supported. Upon our return to site Nature Club set about a overgrown post lockdown allotment and garden along with regular campfires, an ever popular activity with the Triangle young people. A highlight of the year was our Nature Club featuring on BBC Radio 4 and the front page the of South London Press. special thanks to our young person G. aged 10 who was interviewed about why they love nature club. 

**Eleven Plus Club** - As our Eleven Plus Club project came to an end after Covid had impacted its final year we were delighted to be offered the final funding for a legacy piece of equipment. The young people requested a skate ramp and thanks to the hard work of our playworker team and Vice Chair Alan Sutton it was built in just over a week. The ramp continues to prove a hit with the young people both for skateboarding and  a wide variety of group games. 

**Active Together Family Fitness** - Moving online so quickly and seeing families attend the online physical activity sessions was a highlight for our AT team, they managed to keep numbers relatively consistent, even bringing in new families from outside London. Activities throughout the year included Capoeira, football, boxing, karate, yoga and go karting. Post lockdown saw the return of our face-to-face sessions with added restrictions including numbers and social distancing. We adapted our sessions to these new regulations, keeping the fun encouraging energy that the families love about our sessions. A number of parents changed their attitude to physical activity over the 6 months post lockdown, taking up activities outside of our sessions and started to enjoy sport for the first time. The weekly family pedometer challenge proved a particular highlight and has c ontinued beyond each lockdown with many families taking part. 

**Volunteer to Playworker Scheme** - This year we continued our efforts to employ young adults from the local community via our volunteer to playworker scheme. We are pleased to currently have two sessional playworkers who have graduated from this scheme and also played at Triangle in their childhood under the guidance of our Senior Playwork er.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

As at the end March 2021, cash at bank was £153,377.78. 

The Association relies entirely on grants and fundraising. Our reserves policy requires that the level of reserves must be based on running costs for six months plus closure costs. Annual income finished at £248,835 for the year, an increase on the previous year. Most of the extra income was driven by Covid related grants, of over £71,000. However, our expenditure also increased by 25%, driven by salaries, to deliver the remote service alongside the summer program. 

We were also successful in securing grants such as CLIPS and TFL walk & cycle. We had more income from Projects due to Sports England running for the full year, and HMRC due to the furloughing funds. Enterprise was obviously down due to Covid, and this can be an area of focus in the coming year. 

We received £12,690 from 80 donors with regular recurring payments during the year. Additionally, we received several one-off donations totalling £4,028, as well as a single donor giving an incredibly generous £20,000 towards the playground. 

We hold a reserve of six months running costs plus closure costs which comes to £100,000 A combination of multi-year projects focussing on nature as well as family fitness, alongside various grants though Lambeth council has secured the charity to continue over the next few years.
