Exercise 8: 2014.6 section B

Sport-4-Kidz is a charitable organisation that operates a sports centre in a large city.

The land on which the playing fields and facilities are located is held on behalf of the charity by Donna and Dietmar, the two trustees. Donna and Dietmar simply hold the land on behalf of Sport-4-Kidz and play no role in running the charity. They are rarely contacted by the management of the charity. However, they are the only people who are able to enter into contracts in relation to the land and its use.

Sport-4-Kidz is managed and operated by a management committee. The committee has decided on a major expansion of facilities by building a new sports hall. The committee has the power to legally bind the charity in all matters other than the land. Their decisions are overseen by the government charity regulator,，which generally sanctions the charity's decisions except in relation to financial reporting.

The management committee is negotiating with four building companies.

The proposed expansion of the facilities has angered the local residents, many of whom are concerned about heavy building site traffic and the danger posed to their children. Many believe that the design of the new sports hall is ugly and insensitive. Three well-respected local politicians serve on the residents' committee.
