History and background

Craignure Recreational Activity Facility Team (CRAFT) was originally formed in 2004 as a community group of parent volunteers seeking to improve the play facilities in and around Craignure on the Isle of Mull. The group established and then managed a playground next to Craignure Village Hall.

After a period of dormancy, CRAFT reformed in 2016 with a new committee and constitution to take action as the playground had become dilapidated and unsafe to use. It was initially repaired, but as more issues arose a project to replace the playground became the focus of the reformed organisation. The team sought quotes and designs from potential suppliers, negotiated a new lease for the site, and began to seek funding for new equipment.

In August 2019, CRAFT registered as a charity to access more funding opportunities for the new playpark and to maximise income from donations in the longer term for running costs.

Full transfer of the funds and assets of the constituted community group to the charity was agreed retrospectively at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of members on 24 September 2020.

About CRAFT and our objectives

CRAFT is now a small, volunteer-run charity made up of local parents seeking to improve the play facilities available in and around Craignure on the Isle of Mull. Our registered purpose is:

“The provision and maintenance of challenging, safe outdoor children’s play facilities and recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of health, fitness and quality of life for the communities of Craignure, Lochdon and surrounding areas.”

Between 2016 and 2021 CRAFT fundraised to replace the derelict play park equipment in Craignure and following completion of the work in 2021 the charity is now running and maintaining the park.

When the previous facility fell into disrepair, children living in and around Craignure lacked a safe local outdoor play area. Two small playgrounds with very limited apparatus were available 15 minutes’ drive away in the next village, with a larger playpark available in Tobermory (30-40 minutes' drive away), but all other options required a 45-minute ferry journey to the mainland.

Mull is recognised by the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation as being in the 5% most deprived postcode districts in Scotland under the measure of geographic isolation. The island struggles to retain and attract young families, partly due to the lack of facilities associated with this isolation. We wanted local children to benefit from the kind of play facilities that children living in less isolated areas have easy access to, and hoped a new playpark would:

• Improve the health and wellbeing of children and families in the area.

• Support development of physical coordination, confidence, imaginative play and social skills.

• Act as a meeting place for families and groups, and a venue for community events.

With the park now fully redevelopment, CRAFT will continue to manage and maintain the playpark to ensure it operates safely as a facility for the community long into the future.

S+rL4c+￿rc, goV6r￿an66 vN￿VI￿9SvnCk]+ TYPE OF GOVERNING DOCUMENT We are a single-tier charity. operating under a constitution created and approved in June 2019 when we began the process of registration as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR). This constitution provides the definitions. rules and structure that guide our processes and decision-making. TRUSTEE RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT The trustees appointed at our registration a5 a charity remained in place throughout this reporting period. without the addition of any new trustees. We seek out a range of skills and experience in our trustees that will enable CRAFf to meet its aims. Within our present team are two primary teachers. bringing professional knowledge of play and learning, and one project and fundraising professional, with the skills to plan our work and secure suitable funding. Others excel at running events and attracting practical support from the community. All are passionate about providing a great facility for local children and the community. MEETINGS AND COMMUNICATION We hold trustee meetings when needed to make decisions and plan our activities, and stay in contact between meetings via a dedicated chat group. This allows us to share information and respond to any issues promptly. Activiti6S av]d achi6V6M6trIts GENERAL Our only area of activity over this reporting period was site maintenance following completion of the full redevelopment of the park. This work involved undertaking monthly safety inspections. arranging public liability insurance. grass cutting and the annual external health and safety inspection. The park continues to be well used by local and visiting families from across the island and is an important space for children to play and exercise and for parents to socialise and support each other. iy i

FUNDRAISING During the reporting period, the only donation received was from Scottish Sea Farms Ltd for £200. no grants were received. FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE REPORT PERIOD We began the reporting period with £2.657 in unrestricted funds and £2,223 restricted funds. We received £200 in donations (a single donation from Scottish Seafarms Ltd) and spent £1.162 of unrestricted funds on insurance and the annual safety inspection. We ended the period with £1.695 in unrestricted funds and £2.223 in restricted funds. RESERVES POLICY Given we have no regular income streams and rely on grants. donations and events to generate funds, our aim is to hold a minimum one year's worth of playpark running costs in unrestricted reseNes at any time. Presently. this amounts to around £1.300. taking into account expected costs for public liability insurance, safety inspections, meeting room hire and maintenance. This figure would not accommodate large unexpected costs. At the end of the reporting period we held just over one yearfs worth of running costs in unrestricted (designated) funds. DETAILS OF ANY DEFICIT We ended the reporting period with positive balances across all of our funds. F￿+￿re p1th￿s Our focus over the coming period is on: Completing the last minor installation works- fencing/gate repairs using the remaining restricted funds. Managing and maintaining the playpark for the local community. Fundraising events to pay for annual running costs.
