Para 1.18
The Trustees have regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity Commission on
public benefit and apply this guidance to
the decisions made throughout the year.
By operating to these standards it
provides reassurance to the general
public that the Centre is being run with
the health and well-being of the

that we do.
The Centre also allows the use of its car
park on a daily basis to the parents of
children at Blakedown COE school to
assist in the safe arrival and departure of
those children that need to be driven to
the school thereby assisting with traffic
flow in the village. This maintains a link
to the Charity's 1971 constitution.

Achievements and Performance
SORP referen
The Churchill and Blakedown Sports and
Recreation Centre (CBSRC) has
rebounded since the difficult days of
Covid-19.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity's work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20
Sports seasons took place in full and the
summer again saw the successful
running of the Blakedown Bolt.
The sporting theme has continued with
the Centre again providing the base for
the Blakedown and Hagley Tennis Club.
The running of the Blakedown Bolt was
especially pleasing. This brings together
the community served by the Centre for a
"mass" participation event in June and is
one of, if not the highlight of the Centre's
year.
Two major developments in year were
both as a result of the superb generosity
of the Norman Dawson Trust. These
enabled:
phase two of the playground
development to take place. This
not only provided the playground
with modern and sustainable
playground equipment it enabled
the replacement of equipment
which were falling short of ROSPA
standards. The completion of this
work provides the Centre with a
playground that is on a par with
those in surrounding areas and
has been a huge success
the replacement of the bi-fold
doors facing the sports field.
The Centre was once again,fully used
during the year to provide other sports
and recreational activities which benefit
adults, children and young people
throughout the area.
Financial Review
Review of the charity's
financial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21
The Centre's income increased to £82,278
in 2023124. Despite increased costs a
small profit of £2,860 was reported in the
year. The Centre's overall cash balance
(bank and in hand) stood at £9,474 on
March 312024.
Page 2 of 12

The increase in income was derived from
a £65,336 grant received from the Norman
Dawson Trust which was to improve
playground facilities and replace the bi-
fold doors. These improvements were
much needed.
The underlying financial position of the
Centre at the end of March 2024 remains
challenged. The continued financial
pressures caused by the increased cost
of utilities is one we need to tackle head
on.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held
Para 1.22
The Charity has sought to build up cash
balances over the years. However, the
previous two financial periods have seen
these reduce so it was good to see a
return to a small profit.
The cash balances that are held now
provide around 6 months, operating
expenses cover and are unrestricted
funds.
We are mindful that the age of the Centre
and necessitates regular routine
maintenance and that these reserves
provide limited coverage for unforeseen
events that may impact upon the
structure and fabric of the Centre.
Amount of reserves held
Para 1.22
Essentially our cash balance at 31 March
of £9,474.

increased, remain low. There are no post-

after considerable work on bringing
utility expenditure under control.
