Boardfvnctioning
The Trustees meet approximately once every month or as needed throughout the financial year to review
and to update the position of the charity.
Membership
Membership is open to those residents who qualify under the tenns of the Tn￿t D¢ed. Membership is by
annual subscription.
Risk management
The Trustees have examined the major strategic, busin&ss and operational risks which the charity may face
and confllin that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the
necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.

maintenance of th¢ park amenities. He is supported by a number of Assistant Park Wardens.

BLUNDELLSANDS PARK TRUST
Trustees Report for the year ended 31 December 2024
Objectlves and activities (conlinued)
the annual sum of onc pound one shilling or such other annual sum the Tnts with the consent of the
said William Joseph Blundell or bis Suc￿sS0rS in titl¢ shall fix."
Public benefit
The Trustees have considered the Charity Con]mission guidance regarding public benefit and are content
that the charity has met the requirements as a result of the objectivas and activities described above.
Aehievements and performance
Blundellsands Pa￿ Trust was established over one hundred years ago when the Park was put in trust for
the benefit of the residents of Blundellsands by the Blundell family of Crosby Hall. It continues to provide
a valued amenity to its local con]munity using monies gained through mellthersbip. This is a place of
natural beauty and a Site of IK)cal Biological Interest. The PTimary objective of the Trnstees is to continu¢
to maintain it to a high standard so that member4 both now and in the futur¢, can fi￿lY enjoy its benefits.
We are most fortunate that Paul Anglesea cnntinues in the role of Warden (a fidl-time ￿SitiOn) and is ably
assisted by Assistant Warden Vince Bennett (works for two days per week). They make an excellent team
and their hard work and dedication to keeping standards high is reflected in the beautiful place that the
Park continu¢s to be. tn June we welcom¢d Maureen Quadrio who took over as W¢¢k¢nd Warden, a role
which Vince had undertaken since July 2023. Maure¢n very quickly became a much valued m¢mber of the
t¢am and her love of the Park is clearly evident. The Trnstees are grateful to Vince who did a gr¢at job as
Weekend Warden.
The many aspects of health and safety in the Park are of great importance tr) the Trustees including tree
maint¢nance. We continue to use the services of St￿nps Away, specialist contractors who each year carry
out a survey to assess the state of the trees. Any dead trees, or trees deemed to present a danger to the
members, are removed. This is subject to any necessary pennAssion from Sefton Council's Tree Officer
given that we are in a conservation are& We also have a tree planting programm¢ and aim to replace trees
which are removed with trees that are indig¢nous to the area.
All mechanical equipment used in the Park is rnaintained and serviced as per the manufacturers,
recommendations. Our Wardens also undertake the necessary saf¢ty courses to enable them to meet the
requirements of our Health and Safety Policy.
The children's play area remains hugely popular with our younger members whose h¢alth and safety is
imwrtant to us. The play equiprnent is checked daily making sure it is in good order and safe to use. The
¢quipment is also inspected annually by Playdale, a company of independent specialist contractors in this
field who service the equipment wh¢re necessary. The TrUSt￿S will continu¢ to upgradc and renew play
equipment when appropriate.
As is now customary, key cl]ang¢ took place in September and evetyhing ran according to plan. Our aim
is to carry out key change as smoothly and efficiently as possibl¢ and judging by th¢ feedback received
from m¢mb¢rs, ¢v¢ryone appeared happy with their experience. It is always a pleasure for Trustees to

meet rnembers at this time and especially enLx)uraging to h¢ar how w¢ll loved th¢ Park and its facilities are.
The numbers of people wishing to become members continues to grow, which indicates just what a
pr¢cious r¢sourc¢ th¢ Park is.
We are wteful that each year at key change we often receive voluntary donations from members which
help with the upkeep of the Park. The Tn￿teeS are very grateful for these donations especially as wsts
continue to rise. We remain committed to using funds wisely and providing members value for money
without ￿MprOMIS1n8 on the high standard we set ourselves in keeping these surroundings as wonderful
as they are.
Investmellt powers
Under the Constitutio￿ the charity has the power to make any investment, using the unrestricted general
funds, which the Tnlstees see fit.
Financial review
Th¢ principal funding sourc¢ for the charity during the year was by way of subscriptions received from its
members.
Th¢ ¢xp¢nditur¢ in th¢ year supported the k¢y charitable objectives by enabling the charity to continu¢ to
successfully develop and maintsin the Park to a high standard.
The results for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page Seve￿ exp¢nditur¢
during the year has been within budget which has resulted in a surplus being generateiL
The charity's Balance Sheet as detail¢d on page eight shows a satisfactory position with net assets
amounting to £197,621. This consists of designat¢d funds of £5.246 for specific future purposes as set
aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted general funds and unrestricted general funds of £192,375, for the
g¢n¢ral running of the charity.
Reserves policy
The Trustees consider that a large accumulated fund is required due to the nature of the ¢l￿rIty,s
expenditure. Maintenance costs vary each year, and periodically larg¢ svms of ¢xp¢nditure are required to
fund renewals and improvements and to purchase capital equipment within the Park.
The Trustees review the general reserves of the charity on an annual basis taking into account the level of
anticipated expenditure rquired in the ￿MIng year to continue their policy of maintainin& d¢v¢loping and
enhancing the Park.
The Trustees have des]￿lated £5,246" this fLmd identifies those funds that are not fr¢¢ funds as they
