Objective, Aims and Activities 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 Adventure Playground Association Trustees Annual Report
Following the extraordinary year of 2020 we were delighted to return to full open access over the course of this year. By the end of our Summer of Play 2021 our bubbles were officially popped and no longer was a booking required. The impact of the pandemic upon young people of all ages has been immense. At the Triangle we have seen hundreds of young people process and overcome the upheaval through play, finding new ways to interpret the challenging world, their experiences and build their place within it.
The lifting of restrictions not only allowed us to welcome more young people to play, for example March 10th 2022 saw 80 young people attend one play session, but in addition we have been able to resume welcoming visitors and taking trips outside of Triangle, a crucial part of our play service and role within our local community.
Adventure play comes in many forms at Triangle and the extensive benefits for young people’s mental and physical health can be hard to evaluate. One barometer of the impact of Triangle was seen in a simple experiment this year. A 10 year old child wore a step counter for the duration of their visit to Triangle for a single summer holiday play session. In just over 5 hours the young person covered an impressive 8.39 miles from 17768 steps.
Free lunch and free apple picking!
Long distances were a theme this year as the young people got involved in Triangle’s first ever London Marathon. A successful application to an opportunity provided via our Bike Life Project meant we had a place and just needed a runner…step forward playworker Jun! Initially joining as a volunteer during the pandemic Jun had become an integral and popular part of our playworker team. Many training sessions followed both on and off site, including a special day of running a group marathon in Triangle. On the day, with the support of the Triangle kids and community, she ran a spectacular time of 4:27:35, and raised Triangle a fantastic £3,000.
Go Jun!

Triangle Adventure Playground Association Trustees Annual Report
The year began with the opening of our new skate half pipe ramp. A legacy of our Youth 11+ project with the People’s Health Trust, it has quickly attracted many young people to skate, rollerblade and play freely upon.
The Triangle Bike Life project ran for 9 months and proved a popular addition to our regular free play. A total of 130 young people and 10 adults benefitted from the project. Through the project we enabled children to learn to cycle, practice and build confidence in their cycling proficiency and develop their technical bike knowledge on a selection of new bikes. We also managed to refurbish and repair a mix of Triangle and user bikes, along with a selection of parent's bikes. The project allowed open participation for young people on site, who have developed basic bike maintenance skills increasing their self-confidence and ability to maintain their own bike. We loaned out helmets to enable young people to travel safely to and from the playground on their bikes. The bike project leader, sessional playworker and long term Triangle user Jake, has also benefited greatly, developing their own organisational and leadership skills along with improved technical knowledge.
Just prior to Summer we were shocked and extremely saddened to hear of the tragic loss of life of a young person who was part of our Triangle community, having spent many years playing at the playground as a child. The Senior Playworker laid flowers at the local memorial and conveyed condolences to the family on behalf of all at the Triangle.
Expanding our connections within the local community led to collaboration with local art gallery Gasworks. As part of the InnerSwell project led by artists Laima Leyton and Lexy Morvaridi the Triangle young people created and recorded hours of sounds from the playground. A follow up workshop visit to the gallery enabled the young people to work with audio technology and create vocal recordings. The project continues with plans for a Triangle audio art piece in the works.
During our Summer of Play we were pleased to welcome local politicians Florence Eshalomi MP Vauxhall, Claire Holland and Issa Issa of Lambeth Council. All three reiterated their commitment to the Triangle and praised us for our impact and importance within the Lambeth community. Summer highlights included the resumption of trips and a visit from London Play as we entered their Design and build a go kart challenge. The end of Summer Party proved a special one this year, giving the young people a wonderful day to remember, replete with Triangle’s first ever bouncy castle, free ice cream van and pizza for all.
Line of Light and Bonfire Night

Triangle Adventure Playground Association Trustees Annual Report
Autumn saw The Triangle proudly take part in the Line of Light Festival, joining other historical Lambeth sites shining a beam of light from our hut bright into the night sky for 3 days, celebrating the extension of the Northern Line to Nine Elms. The return of our annual bonfire night in collaboration with our friends and neighbours Ashmole Primary School was a particular highlight of the year. Over 200 young people, parents and members of the community joined us for a wonderful evening of burning the guy, sticky toffee apples and games galore.
Another highlight has been our collaboration with Henry Fawcett Primary School. Each Wednesday since September 2021 during term time HFPS have brought a group of 10 - 15 young people to our play sessions. Many have returned independently to play, increasing the awareness of our playground amongst local families.
Following careful consideration and expert guidance we decided not to open for the Christmas Holidays (Dec 20 - 23rd 2021) due to the increased Covid threat at the time. And then Storm Eunice in February also dictated a day's closure for safety reasons.
In February the Triangle featured on CBBC Newsround as we hosted their team to film a piece about the importance of free play. The young people spoke eloquently about their playground, showcased their parkour play talents and were very pleased to meet the CBBC presenter and appear on TV.
Spring arrived to provide a fine example of our Triangle kids working together to support their playground. Replacing a large heavy wooden pole at the top of our tango swing involved more than 30 young people and playworkers utilising all their strength to pull the ropes that carried the old timber down, and new timber up. All under the guidance of the London Play Design Team.
The Triangle was proud to be the winner of ‘The Best Play Film’ at London Play Adventure Playground of the Year Awards 2021 and in March 2022 we were delighted to receive the ‘Most Impactful Charity Partnership’ Award from The Berkeley Foundation. A great way to celebrate our Pancake Day party hosted at Berkeley St Edwards Oval Village.
In many ways this year has been a return to normality at London’s oldest on site adventure playground. Despite the limitations of social bubbles until Sept 2021 we still welcomed 376 young people who made a total of 8603 visits to play. And by play we mean make friends, learn skills, develop talents, feel free, build confidence and improve their mental and physical health. After overcoming the challenge of the pandemic the Triangle has shown once again our vitality and crucial importance to hundreds of Lambeth families. The future of the organisation looks strong as we plan ahead for a selection of exciting capital projects in 2022 - 2023.
The Triangle celebrated our 64th birthday in May 2021 and to paraphrase the famous song… Will you still need me? When I’m sixty four?
And the answer from our community of young people and families has been a resounding YES!

Play
Bike Life, Football practice, Award Winners!
-
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. Our Triangle football teams took part in the annual Adventure Playground tournament with Lollard Street and Oasis. The new skateboard half pipe has unlocked many talents and challenges for our energetic young people. Gymnastics on our astro turf and trampoline are other examples of the multitude of physical activities we offer in any session. We were pleased to add a proper basketball net to the playground this year too. A trip to GO APE for older users during the summer proved a perfect way to further explore their taste for adventure and engage our teenagers. A collaboration with Alive and Kicking Football Library enabled us to provide 10 free footballs for loan to offer all our young people, building skills and trust. Utilising our local surroundings we regularly took young people to Vauxhall Park for football practice.
-
Outdoor Adventure Play - Camping, bushcraft and woodwork were at the forefront of play in Summer 2021. 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 throughout the year, and our special camping week once again gave over 30 young people the chance to camp out late at Triangle. Fires, in the pit and on our camping stove, proved particularly popular for both our survival enthusiasts and cafe role play chefs.
-
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. A new badge machine has been a prominent part of play, using collage, drawing and of course glitter to make some fantastic designs. Group art projects this year have included our new rules board and some large scale dragon painting. Tactile and sensory play arts were found in our many mud cakes and freshly squeezed wild cherry juice drinks.

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 A mixture of cooking on site and catering ensured we provide hot lunches for all throughout holiday sessions. Fresh fruit is offered throughout all play sessions of the year, with a later snacktime providing biscuits, rice cakes and yoghurts for the children.
-
Holiday Schemes Water play has been a major part of play in the holidays. The Triangle water park made up of our mini pool, slip n slide and water slide is a special experience for our young people, many of whom don’t get a summer holiday out of London.
-
Nature Club The Triangle’s long term environmental play project shone again in 2021 - 2022. A ‘grow the biggest sunflower’ competition, snail habitat making, constructing and filling a wormery and the introduction of a special early morning Nature club for parents and under 5s just a taste of the fun and learning on site. Off site Nature Club have made Streatham Common their second home, with multiple visits to create and cultivate land art. Battersea Zoo also welcomed us for a special trip. Throughout the year young people could partake in planting & harvesting potatoes, strawberries, microgreens, edible flowers, sunflowers, broccoli, spinach, onions, beetroot, peas and coriander and more. All requiring some homemade signage painted by the young people. We used our allotment to introduce healthy eating activities too, with salad leaves, herb taste tests and a ‘measure the sugar in your favourite snack’ game. The Greenbottle Greenhouse was finished and then stocked with a great selection of new child sized gardening tools, the young people often enjoying the opportunity to get a tool and start digging.
-
Active Together Family Fitness It’s not just the young people but families too who get involved in our family fitness sessions. Family scavenger hunts in Kennington and Brockwell parks, crazy golf, ice skating trips, kickboxing, martial arts and boxing training as well as our popular family football sessions have helped young and old build fitness and bonds. On average per week we see - 35 families, 44 Children, 35 Adults, 79 Participants across all sessions.

- 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 have added an additional sessional playworker in 2021, a young person who experienced the playground as a child. Looking ahead to 2022 - 2023 we have two young people ready to begin the scheme.
On the buzzer!
Snail party, teamwork to spread the woodchip, InnerSwell sound recording project
“My daughter has been going for years and always loved it but I think it has become even more important and valuable to her since the pandemic…They get to learn to adventure, to take and manage risks themselves in a safe environment. Helping them build confidence in themselves and their capabilities. (my daughter) comes home full of energy and tales of the gardening, the fires, the battles, the skateboarding, the climbing, the mud cooking etc. I don’t know anywhere else she or other kids can experience this and yet I think all kids need this more than ever now.” - Triangle Parent 2022

Financial Review
Financial year 2021/2022:
The Association relies solely on grants and donations. Our reserves policy requires that the level of reserves must be based on running costs for six months plus closure costs, which comes to just over £100,000. At the end of the year, 31st March 2022, cash reserves stood at £206,565.
Total income for 21/22 reached £228,063 of which £34,562 was given as Covid support from London Funders. This was gratefully received as restrictions from the pandemic continued throughout 2021. The pandemic had a direct impact on payroll costs. Staffing levels had to be increased to cover Covid related absences (illness/selfisolation), as well as extra hours to complete the regular cleaning processes of the equipment and high contact areas.
Expenditure, including depreciation, came to £176,761 of which payroll costs made up 85%. Capital expenditure on equipment was £2,296. Careful control of costs was required throughout the year as we saw increases in the London living wage as well as general expenses and annual overheads all going up.
Thankfully, our medium term projects continued and delivered £73,290 of income. Active Communities through Sports England and Nature Club through City Bridge Trust go into their final year of funding for the 22/23 year. With that in mind, we will be looking for similar programs that will help us continue to offer the benefits that exercise and working with nature have provided our local children.
Donations managed to rise on the previous year with regular donors reaching 82 and donating £18,330. The Berkeley foundation supported the playground with £26,461 of donations through match funding programs, payroll donations (give as you earn) and their annual pub quiz. Jun’s amazing marathon effort brought an extra £2,018 of donations to the playground.
Looking forward we are very aware of rising costs across all aspects of the playground. Equally, we recognise the need to provide a safe and engaging space for our local children to play and discover. We will need to work carefully with our reserves to update equipment and facilities where possible in the coming years to ensure the future of the playground remains secure.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Plant and machinery
25% Reducing balance
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
