Report for the Stalham & Brumstead Recreation Ground Charity 2024/25

The Recreation Ground was donated post WW1 to commemorate the residents of the area who lost their lives in that war and Stalham Town Council is it’s sole Trustee. The area continues to offer leisure activities for the people of Stalham and surrounding areas. It is a large open green space that contains a football pitch, a fitness trail, an aging skate park, a few pieces of play equipment and 2 buildings. The Poppy Centre was built some 15 years ago and an unused building formally the Youth Club.

The football pitch is used primarily by Stalham Football club and the Baptist Church Football Club but can be available to other clubs in the area.

The remainder of the area can be used by everyone from dawn until dusk each day of the year.

The Unused building needs a considerable amount of work to bring it up to regulatory compliance.

The Poppy Centre is a multiroom building that is available for hire by community and uniformed groups, public services as well as local residents and organisations for exhibitions and private functions.

The charities’ finances remain a challenge and rely on donations from Stalham Town Council on an annual basis. Another form of income includes payments from Ofgem’s NonDomestic Renewable Heat Incentive scheme, a Government lead scheme to encourage the use of renewable heating systems. The Charity receives income from the hire of a number of rooms within the building which include the Main Hall that is used by a number of regular groups that includes the local Scouts, the local Youth Club, SWAN, (a support group for local women) and the local Bowls Club where their winter short mat bowls meetings take place. There are a number of organisations that use the hall for annual events and they include the local horticultural society and a local model railway club. There are also a number of ad hoc hirings and they are mostly for celebratory parties but also we have a local running club who use the hall for a halfway resting point during one of their ultra marathons. The smaller rooms are used by many organisations for meetings etc but it is also used by the local Child Services for supervised family meetings and the NHS Diabetic Eye Clinic for the regular checkups needed by their patients.

Report for the Stalham & Brumstead Recreation Ground Charity 2024/25

The charity also have an agreement with Stalham Football Club to assist in the maintenance of the football pitch which helps considerably with costs albeit on a reduced level of hire income from them.

Plans to encourage further use of the rooms available for hire within the Poppy Centre and to seek funding to allow the unused building to be brought up to rental standard. If this is successful the local Community Gym could occupy the building on a leased agreement giving income for the charity and relieving it of the expenditure for regulatory annual checks. This would also allow two further rooms within the Poppy Centre to be available for hire thereby increasing the overall income.
