HENDRED SPORTS CLUB

THE PROMOTION OF COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN HEALTHY RECREATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE PARISH OF EAST HENDRED, WEST HENDRED AND ROWSTOCK AND THE SURROUNDING AREA ("THE AREA OF BENEFIT") BY THE PROVISION AND MAINTENANCE OF FACILITIES FOR PLAYING A RANGE OF SPORTS AND SPORTING ACTIVITIES INCLUDING TENNIS, FOOTBALL AND CRICKET

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending since inception
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
Income was lower than spending in the latest year

Oxfordshire Community Foundation - Assessment and development of options for future provision of 'fit for purpose' facilities to support the Club's charitable objectives

Clearly it has been fantastic to have had so many participants, but it has brought to light the physical limitations we have at our ground and facilities. As a result, the Trustees are actively engaged with Architects and other advisers to understand the options and implications of launching a significant investment program for a "once in a generation" improvement in facilities. This will, of course, be a long term and expensive program requiring significant efforts not least of which being fund raising. Put another way, the club has outgrown its facilities and is simply no longer fit for purpose. Our clubhouse was built in the 1970's for what was then male-dominated team sports. We have moved way beyond this, especially with regard to children, youth and female participation and our facilities just do not support modern day needs.

We are a community focused, grass roots club offering the opportunity to all to partake in adult football, junior/youth and adult tennis and, of course, junior/youth and adult cricket. Our sports ground and pavilion is in the heart of the village and is used for a wide variety of community based activities outside of pure sport. For example, we have hosted the Hendred Family Show (the sadly now defunct annual produce show), sustainable local produce markets (eg The Hive Market), personal and group training (ContainerTrainer), dance exercise classes (Jazzercise) and we are shortly to create an Aunt Sally pitch for local residents. The pavilion has also been used (pre Covid) as a venue for local groups to meet such as the choir, a local mens mental health charity, the local amateur dramatic society. I mention all the above not because we are asking for grant money for Aunt Sally nor for Jazzercise classes, nor for the local choir, rather I wanted to try to articulate how the Sports Club goes beyond simply football, tennis and cricket in the way that we seek to help our community thrive in a way that is inclusive to all, where everyone is always welcome and where we continually seek new avenues to Build a Stronger Community. Turning to more specific examples related to sport with particular focus on young people. There is a wide recognition that participation in healthy sporting activities under the kind of ethos found in community based grass roots activity can help young people towards most of the above outcomes. Clearly the club was initially set up as a means for adults to play their chosen sport, but our tennis - and in particular - cricket sections have thriving junior/youth sections that are now the lifeblood of the club. I have previously mentioned that this year we have 100 children registered for the ECB All Starts program. This is a record for us and it will be a fantastic sight to see these kids enjoying themselves on a friday evening (it will be even better if the sun actually shone!). We also have 50 cricket members in what we call our Dynamos groups that allow us to play teams in Under 11s, Under 13s and Under 15s. And we have a further 10 Under 25 members in Cricket. Overall, across football, tennis and cricket, the majority (60%) of our members are under 25 indicating our clear focus and commitment on sport for young people.
