Chairmans annual report 2022 

Heslington sportsfield was gifted to the residents of the village by the Deramore family, to be run as a community asset for the benefit of the village in perpetuity. The management committee is a registered charity, whose primary role is to ensure that the sportsfield  continues to operate for the benefit of Heslington residents. 

It has been great to see things returning to some sort of normality over the last year. The football clubs have had good use from the grounds, and we expect to see a full cricket season ahead. The new cricket net facility is underway, and the development of this should ensure the continued growth of the cricket club, that in turn helps to ensure the financial stability for HSMC going forward. 

The unsafe tree has been felled, and we aim to have the popular zipwire back in action shortly. 

The car park is in need of attention, and as soon as we can secure some road planings this will be actioned. 

Our cash reserves are healthy at present, but this is due to the covid “windfall” rather than an improvement in our income and expenditure!! We need to improve and repair some of the play equipment and surfacing, and we have been granted some  money from CYC to aid with this, but funds are still limited It continues to be a challenge to make ends meet, and we must ensure we do not take our eye off the ball in terms of improving the long term viability of the ground just because we are relatively cash rich at present. 

The sportsfield is a valuable part of Heslington community, and the work of the committee is often overlooked by residents who are not aware that it is run as a charity, so please allow me to thank all the committee for their voluntary work to ensure it remains as an asset for the village. Tom Pearcy, Chairman.

Auditors report HSMC 2022 

I believe that an auditors report is not required for the annual turnover of our charity being sub £20k. The income figure shown in the accounts is extraordinary in this year due to the award of covid grants only, and is not operational income.
