Achievements and performance

During the past few years our charity has grown. We have demolished most of the old facility and built and refurbished our facility to meet the demands of our community.

The charity sold one of our bowling greens and secured support and financial backing through grants to achieve our finished, outstanding contemporary community facility. The facility will be able to deliver sought after recreational and educational projects for the benefit of the whole community for decades to come.

We have delivered the following projects throughout the year:

6

• Initiated a school project, with four primary schools attending coaching sessions on a weekly basis.

• Delivered various recreational & educational projects throughout the year.

• Deliver a weekly project for adults with profound physical, mental, and sensory difficulties.

• Supplied equipment to enable everyone to participate in all activities.

• Supplied space for numerous recreational & educational projects and classes to be delivered locally for the community.

• Delivered numerous opportunities for volunteering experiences for members of our local community.

• Enabled more community integration opportunities and the breaking down of social barriers.

• Fostered community spirit and helped to alleviate the perception of isolation for members of our community.

Reserves Policy

The policy of the charity is to retain 2 months’ worth of normal running costs to meet commitments and cover any unexpected expenditure. 2 months expenditure is approx. £13,000. The trustees believe that this will be an acceptable amount to achieve and will monitor the financial position in the coming year.

Deficit

Due to the extension and expansion works carried out to the facility, the charity has shown a deficit over the financial year. This extra expense was due to the additional costs to fit out the facility to accommodate groups and individuals with additional support needs. The trustees are confident that this will be corrected next financial year as no extensive repairs or maintenance works are planned.

Future Plans

The trustees intend to develop the facility and offer more activities, classes and services that continue to be requested by the local community. We plan to make the facility eco-friendlier. We intend to change our heating system from conventional boiler/radiators to air source heat pump with additional solar panels. It is our intention to incorporate a battery unit to income generate, through returning energy back into the public grid. The trustees will also look at rebranding the charity and possibly a name change that better reflects the expansion of the services it now provides to a wider and more diverse community.
