Achievements and Performance

	SORP ref. The charity works closely with the erence
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	The key indicator of the success of the charity is the continued use of the playing field and engagement with recreational activity by large numbers of people. The charity works closely with the three sports clubs that are established on the field and each has a thriving membership ( Cricket Club – four senior teams, four junior teams, 120 members ; Bowling Club, 3 senior teams, 1 OAP team, 75 members ; Tennis Club – three senior teams, 40 members ). In addition, the local junior school uses the playing field for regular sports sessions and its annual sports day. Although we do not monitor use of the children’s play area, along with the greater part of the playing field, it is open to the wider public at all times so that we are providing a well maintained recreational facility that is available all year round, free of charge to the general public.
