EAST LEAKE PLAYING FIELD CHARITY - Charity Number 522209 **Annual Report for** the **year to** 31[st ] **March 2022** The East Leake Playing Fields Charity (address for correspondence: Mr. S J Oakley, 25 Rempstone Road, East Leake, Loughborough, LE12 6PW) is registered with the Charity Commissioners (No. 522209) and constituted by Deed of Trust. The Charity is administered by a Management Committee which usually meets on the last Monday of each month. The composition of the Management Committee is defined in the Constitution of the Charity. The senior officials are: Chairman Mr. Stephen Oakley (Elected) Secretary Mrs. Mel Roper (Elected) Treasurer Mr. Alex Cufflin (Elected/East Leake Cricket Club) All committee members are trustees during their period of service. The object of the Charity is to manage the Costock Road facilities for the communal benefit of East Leake and its surrounding area, defined as the “area of benefit”. The Management Committee aims to provide good sports and hall facilities at an affordable cost to the voluntary sports and community organisations in the area of benefit. During the 2021/22 financial year, usage of the facilities has started to return to normal after the effects of the global pandemic. Our regular users have been able to maintain their memberships and have returned. We have also been able to secure funding and permissions to improve the club house on site and work commenced at the start of 2022. This has had a knock on affect to the current clubs that use our internal facilities. Their usage has unfortunately been put on hold whilst the buildings are being completed. Over the course of the last 4 years the charity has, with the help of East Leake Parish Council, embarked upon getting the required planning permissions and funding to completely renovate the club house and changing facilities provided at the playing fields. We have been successful in securing the necessary parts and work on knocking down the old pavilion and gutting the newer building began at the start of 2022. The new pavilion will consist of 6 new changing rooms and two club rooms with a bar and kitchen. This will allow us to cater for all the needs of our sports clubs as well as offer new and exciting opportunities for delvopment of the playing fields use in 2023 and beyond. Construction is due to be completed by the end of the summer 2022. The finances have been coordinated by Alex Cufflin throughout the year, and he will report on these. I would like to thank Alex Cufflin as the treasurer, and Mel Roper as secretary. I would like to express my gratitude for the hard work they and the rest of the committee has put in through the year and hope that they will continue the excellent work in the coming year. In moving forward, the work to construct the new building needs to be managed effectively to minimize disruption and focus needs to be given to the running of the new facilities so that we can provide up to date and modern facilities for the whole village to use.
