Sport in Desford Trustees

Sport in Desford has been a Registered Charity (No.: 1100319) since 2003 and is governed by a Board of Trustees (with 6 to 10 members) who meet twice a year to provide strategic guidance to the organisation. They also ensure that the organisation is true to its objects as stated in the constitution a copy of which is lodged with the UK Charity Commissioners:

“The Charity’s objects are the promotion of community participation within the village of Desford and its environs in healthy recreation, in particular by the provision of facilities for playing bowls, tennis, squash, football, recreational fitness, running and scouting.”

1) Governance
2) Compliance
3) Fulfilling Remit
4) Finance
5) Business Plan for the following 2 years
