Additional information

Structure, governance and management Tavistock Hockey Club is constituted as an incorporated charity, limited by guarantee. It is registered with the Charity Commission under the charity number 1177198, and with Companies House under the company number 07411693. It is governed by a constitution that was adopted on 22 May 2017. Trustees are appointed and reappointed at the Annual General Meeting. Trustees are referred to the charity's constitution on appointment. This ensures that new/existing trustees are aware of their responsibilities under the Charities Act. The trustees are supported in their management of the club by a sub-committee of members, all trustees and committee members are voluntary positions. The Sub-committee are responsible for organising training, the collection of the membership and match fees and ensuring that the club is affiliated to the appropriate bodies. Tavistock Hockey Club has the following policies in place: ethics & equality, disciplinary procedures, DBS and health & safety. They are affiliated to England Hockey, West Hockey Association and Devon Hockey Association. Tavistock Hockey Club is also partnered with the Primary Leagues with local secondary schools (in particular Mount Kelly College) and local primary schools. Public benefit The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Use of volunteers Volunteers are an important resource to the club. They help coach the camps and also umpires officiate league games. Club coaches and members who run the groups have undertaken DBS checks. Achievements and performance The club is fully utilising the facilities to provide more targeted training and playing opportunities for its members. The trustees are currently working towards building pitch side changing facilities but are seeking financial support in order to achieve this. An application for s106 monies from West Devon Borough Council is currently progressing. The club also participates in the local summer mixed league and teams are made up of both junior and senior members, old and new and anyone keen to play under the back to hockey regime. This is a window of opportunity to recruit new members from the community and enhance confidence, fitness and health. Over the winter season there are badger teams for younger members who are too young to play in the adult leagues so that they can participate in competitive league hockey. The junior section of the club continues to put sides out in most junior age groups up to U16 level. The junior section regularly participates in the Plymouth junior league which results in an end of season tournament. The men’s team, having won promotion during the 22-23 season, remained comfortably in their new league and look forward to building for the future. The ladies’ teams have also seen numbers increased. This, together with a Merger with the Launceston Ladies Hockey Club will see two Saturday teams competing in the leagues creating a pathway for juniors and all to develop and enjoy their hockey.
