The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 1992. Sean Hatfield CGMA | | | | CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2024-2025 There has been no change in the Trust’s objective to provide a recreational facility for the people of Erdington and the surrounding district. Income continues to be derived from subscriptions and from fees paid at the time of use of the indoor and outdoor facilities. The focus this year has been to continue the strengthening of communication with the local community and to encourage them to use the Club and its facilities. This has been very successful with several more community groups now using the facility on a regular basis. Local residents have also taken advantage of the Warm Space initiative at the Club throughout the year. Despite the general rise in the cost of living, the Club has seen a modest increase in membership, helped by the offering of different membership options and payment schemes. Bowls and cricket continued to be played regularly throughout the respective seasons, with a new cricket club (Aston Unity) taking over use of the cricket facility from September 2024 in preparation for the 2025 cricket season. We have continued to further utilise use the now well-established cashless payment systems for items such as membership, green fees and bar usage. The Club remains virtually cashless, easing the administrative burden and reducing the risks posed by cash payments. The financial position of the Trust remains robust. However, the Club continues to explore ways of obtaining grant-aid funding for capital expenditure projects. The Trust was successful in securing funding from Birmingham City Council and from Birmingham Airport Community Trust Fund, which enabled the installation of solar panels and the construction of a new accessibility ramp. The solar panels have helped to reduce utility bills, and once connected to the grid, will provide some income to offset costs. The programme of improvement to the Club facilities to coincide with Bowls Club’s Centenary Year was largely completed, and included refurbishment of the lounge area, a car park extension, as well as the solar panel installation and accessibility ramp. The “Bowl for Health” initiative has continued and proved highly successful in bringing former members back into the club and introducing new members. Several attendees have again commented on the benefits of the sessions for their physical and mental well-being. Continuing good and regular communication with members and sponsors along with an effective marketing strategy and tight cost controls should enable the Club to continue to look to the future with confidence. The Trust continues to have a full complement of Trustees, and the Trustees receive no remuneration or other benefits from the charity. Financial statements have been prepared reporting the financial position of the Charity. Robert P. Robinson Chairman, Erdington Recreational Trust
