## **TRUSTEES REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2022. 

Reference and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 12th October 1995, registered under the Companies Acts (registration number 03112751) and its governing document is a Memorandum and Articles of Association. It was granted charitable status by the Charity Commission under number 1050202. By operation of law all trustees are directors under the Companies Act 2006 and all directors are trustees under charities legislation and have responsibilities, as such, under both company and charity legislation. 

New trustees are recruited with a mixture of advertising for specific roles or attributes and responding to unsolicited offers. The organisation has a clearly documented standard process prior to appointment which incorporates recommended good practice for safer recruitment. 

The process includes an expression of interest, informal one-to-one meeting with an existing trustee, followed by a written application on a standard application form; a requirement to attend a minimum number of trustee meetings as an observer; and taking up two references and a DBS check. After that, if the decision to appoint is agreeable on both sides, they will be appointed as a co-opted trustee until the next AGM, when their appointment will be subject to election by members. New trustees are paired with an existing trustee and are required to read the following documents – Child Protection and Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults, Safeguarding Behaviour Code, Equality and Diversity, Respect and Personal Dignity and Health and Safety. 

The Farm Director leads on the Farm’s strategy with support from a senior leadership team consisting of a Programme Manager (Adults), Programme Manager (Children, Youth and Families), People and Office Manager, Site Development Manager, Café Manager and a team of dedicated staff working in specialist impact areas. 

The Board of Trustees have the following sub committees: 

- Health and Safety 

- Finance 

- Staffing 

- Safeguarding 

The Board of Trustees agree an annual budget, which then authorises the Farm Director to make spending and employment commitments that are provided for within the budget, without further reference to the Trustees. 

Bath City Farm’s Job Ranking and Benchmarking Scheme, introduced in 2019 aims to as far as the Farm’s resources allow, pay staff a rate for their work which matches as closely as possible rates for comparable skills and responsibilities in similar third sector organisations. In practice, this is done for each post by identifying at least three comparable roles in other similar charities (ideally in the West of England) and using those to assess a “market rate”. The benchmarking process takes place every 2 years. All Pay Bands were reassessed in December 2021. In response to rising inflation and cost of living crises, there was an extraordinary review of salaries in 2022 which led to a cost-of-living increase for all staff, with

those on the lowest salaries receiving the greatest increase. The Farm also brought all staff onto the real living wage rate as a minimum.

## **Objectives and activities of the charity** 

Bath City Farm is a community hub and green oasis nestled between the neighbourhoods of Whiteway and Twerton, an area of multiple disadvantage and high-density social housing in the South of Bath, far removed from the Georgian splendour Bath is renowned for. From the beginning, our vision has been to build a healthy community rooted in nature, food, farming and each other. As a welcoming urban farm, we use our unique setting and targeted projects to educate, improve wellbeing and transform lives. 

Bath City Farm exists to: 

- Boost emotional, mental, physical and social well-being 

- Support disadvantaged and disabled people to develop new skills and confidence 

- Inspire environmental awareness and activity 

- Provide educational opportunities associated with food, animal care and wildlife conservation - Grow the number of people engaging in their community 

- Bring enjoyment to the public 

Starting life in the early 1990’s, the Farm has grown in response to demand and now supports over 800 people a year through a range of projects in horticulture, animal care, catering, retail and hospitality, wildlife conservation and land management. Aimed at supporting young people facing adversity, and adults with complex health and social needs, these projects grow confidence, social networks and teach new skills. We also maintain our site as a free-to-access community resource and welcomed over 50,000 visitors in the last year. The Farm also has extensive facilities, including a café, children’s playground, training kitchen, meeting room, outdoor amphitheatre, community allotments, and 37 acres of green space. We play a vital role for other local charities, education providers and organisations who benefit from using this unique outdoor space. 

With over 25 years of experience in delivering projects for children, young people and adults, we have developed generational connections with many local families and individuals and strive to offer care holistically, whether individual needs are practical, emotional or social. 

## **Public benefit** 

In shaping the objectives for the year and planning activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **Main activities to further Bath City Farm’s purpose for public benefit** 

To achieve this in 2022, we continued to run regular weekly sessions for adults, young people and families throughout the whole of B&NES but with a particular focus on our local communities of Twerton and Whiteway. Our social impact projects support a range of different child, family and adult groups, each facing their own challenges. The Farm delivers 12 unique targeted projects under two programme managers. 

## **The Children, Young People and Families Programme:** 

Little Farmers - A nurturing group for children under 5 and their guardians, free to attend and focused on improving confidence and connection with others in the community. 

Roots and Shoots - A toddler group for children under 5 allowing them to play and discover nature. 

Farm Club – Two free weekly clubs for children aged 5-11 to enjoy the outdoors, improve their emotional resilience, physical health and social skills. 

Saturday Club – A group for 5-11 to participate in farm and woodland activities and practice social skills. 

Farm Hands – A weekly group for ages 11-16, building key practical skills and contributing to their community through caring for the site, the gardens, the animals and helping with events. 

Youth Outreach – Work in the local community to reach young people 16-25 at risk of antisocial behaviour, bringing them into our programme that provides key support for their mental wellbeing. 

## **The Adult Programme:** 

Roots to Health - Supporting adults with complex health and social needs. 

Roots to Work – Supporting adults who are disadvantaged by the jobs market to gain vocational learning opportunities. 

Make and Bake - A crafting and cooking group with a focus to improve people’s mental wellbeing. 

Natural Pathways - A wildlife conservation group with a focus to improve people’s mental wellbeing. 

EARTHworks - A horticultural therapy project tailored to meet the needs of adults living with learning difficulties. 

FOODworks - A catering project for people with learning difficulties to increase confidence and skills. 

Each project is centred around a different user group or activity such as horticulture, catering, animal care, conservation and crafting. We work closely with individuals, who each have a

dedicated Project Coordinator, to encourage personal development and provide structured activities to suit their needs. We also offer supported training and progression opportunities when people are ready to take that next step. 

Our major focus is supporting people with mental health conditions often experiencing other complex issues such as substance misuse, domestic abuse, relationship difficulties, unemployment and homelessness. We aim to give people the support they need to achieve a sustained recovery and to rebuild their lives after a crisis or long-term period of mental illness. 

We support people to thrive in their everyday lives and discover the tools and confidence to fulfil their potential, better manage their mental health, contribute to community development, and improve their quality of life. We provide non-medical psychiatric care within evidencebased community mental health activities. This is in line with our local NHS strategy to reduce dependency on medication and to reduce the length of, and at times completely avoid, psychiatric hospitalisation. 

We also deliver specialist work development placements for people with a learning disability and educational courses and activities for young people and families facing adversity. As a Community Hub, we enable marginalised groups to connect with each other and have countless interactions that improve well-being and community cohesion. 

## **Main achievements and performance** 

The Farm has emerged from Covid even stronger and with a clearer focus and we have been steadily re-building project participation numbers. The complexity of our work has gone up and we are having to respond to a greater demand for our services. We have grown our team by 47.5% FTE hours this year, to meet the increased delivery. We have gained additional multiyear grants to ensure the ongoing delivery of our mental health programme alongside the work we do with adults with learning difficulties and children and young people. This year marked the first year of our 2022 – 2024 organisational strategy. A summary of highlights linked to our six strategic aims is provided below: 

## **Providing a rich programme of therapeutic, educational and lifelong learning opportunities: Adult Services** 

With additional management and fundraising capacity, we were able to secure two separate multi-year grants to continue our adult mental health services for the next 3 years. There have been substantial changes within the Mental Health Statutory sector resulting in less incommunity support and a higher level of need among people living with serious mental illness within the local community. This has resulted in our service dealing with more complex situations i.e. cases of attempted suicide and self-harm, and very high levels of anxiety and depression. As a result, we have increased our staffing levels and clinical support and training for staff. 

Over the last year, Bath City Farm’s 'Roots to Health' Programme provided community mental health support to over 153 people facing enduring mental health challenges and other complex issues including substance misuse, homelessness, domestic violence and severe social isolation. Using nature-based interventions on the Farm’s beautiful 37-acre site, we support people on their journey to manage their mental health, provide support during a crisis and help them to make lasting changes to their lifestyles. We also supported individuals to progress onto work-based opportunities and other progression pathways. Our mental health projects

run twice a week throughout the year, providing purposeful, therapeutic and fun activities for up to 30 individuals per session. 

Adult Mental Health Programme - since coming to the Farm people reported the following: 

- Improvements to Mental Health – 100% 

- Discharged completely from Mental Health Services 7% 

- Reduced support from Mental Health Services 20% 

- Learnt new skills 97% 

- Re-entered education or training 18% 

- Gained employment 6% 

- Feel more confident 95% 

- Better able to make positive changes 98% 

## **Some quotes from project participants:** 

_“My mental health has improved immensely. I am two years sober, I have improved relationships, paid work and a home allotment. All areas of my life have improved dramatically.”_ 

_“Volunteering at the Farm allows me to stay mentally and physically more well, which enables me to maintain my employment or stay out of hospital."_ 

_“I now have less support – discharged from inpatient care and crisis team, and no current carecoordinator with recovery team.”_ 

Building on the success of our Roots to Health programme and opportunities associated with our new cafe, in June 2022 the Farm launched its new Roots to Work Programme funded through the West of England Combined Authority. This project supports those furthest from the jobs market to access supported work placements in three employment areas, Catering and Hospitality, Grounds Maintenance and Horticulture. Since launch we have supported 54 individuals, 24% of whom have secured paid employment, 33% have become volunteers and 15% have entered further education. 

## **Children, Youth and Family Services** 

The demand for our services for children and young people is at the highest it has been in years, with multiple enquiries per day. Referrals from schools is the most common, where exclusions, attendance refusal and mental health issues for under-18s have increased significantly following the pandemic. 

In the last year, Bath City Farm’s Programme for Children and Young People has grown in response to demand. Our projects that take place in 'out-of-school' hours for ages 0-25 have continued to support high numbers of children and in some cases their families, with a total of 107 having accessed free services. 

We have also launched our first year of Alternative Provision. A programme of sessions that are attended as part of the school timetable for pupils with diagnosed additional needs who have Educational Healthcare Plans. A total of 20 pupils have attended the scheme in our first

year, with referrals for next year already exceeding our current capacity. Ages of those referred vary, but we are increasingly seeing referrals for younger children as well as those in secondary school. Schools cite the effects of the Covid pandemic as a key factor in the need for our programme. 

For young people classed as NEET (currently Not in Education, Employment or Training) we run a weekly skills sessions working towards AQA Unit Awards to support prospects and ambition. Our work with this age group is set to grow, with a new young people's mental health group and community outreach work, led by our experienced Youth Coordinator and new Youth Assistant. 

The CYP team has also worked with 227 children on school visits and 56 under 11s as part of charged groups. The income from these is fed back into staffing our projects that are funded to be free for the community to join. 

Our data for children and young people attending our funded projects shows: 

- Greater emotional wellbeing – 85% of participants feel happier and better able to cope with challenges arising from home-life, educational engagement and society. 

- Higher self-esteem – 75% of participants have stronger self-belief, learning life skills that will help them build positive relationships and make better decisions in the future. 

- - Improved physical health – 80% of participants are better informed about food choices and fitter as a result of outdoor play that encourages a move away from sedentary lifestyles. 

## **Some quotes from project participants:** 

Under-5s parent: _"I’m so pleased that the health visitor referred us to Little Farmers. It's become part of his routine. He sleeps better, is growing in confidence and his speech has improved so much."_ 

Farm Club (aged 10) _“Coming to Farm Club after school makes the difference between me having a good week and having a ‘no’ week."_ 

Farm Hands (aged 14) _"Before I came here I was lost, and now I’ve found something I actually want to do."_ 

Skills Course (aged 17) _"When I started, I didn't really want to do anything, but I kept coming with my support worker, and now I don't mind cleaning out the chickens and ducks because it means I get to see them. There's some that always come to me because I know how to hold them properly. I'd be here every day if I could."_ 

## **Developing the Farm as a beacon of excellence tackling nature and climate emergencies** 

The Farm is a well-used important green space for people to access nature within a highdensity urban area, where housing developments and wild areas exist side by side. With

support from the National Trust and Avon Wildlife Trust we have developed and begun implementing a new 5-year site management plan for the Farm’s 37-acre site, promoting conservation and increasing habitat creation and biodiversity. The plan will see us seek funding to plant more trees and hedgerow, manage scrub and woodland and create new wildflower meadows and species-rich grassland. The land will be used more productively to produce food for local communities, improve carbon sequestration and other ecosystem services and provide a mosaic of habitats to increase biodiversity. 

## **Producing high quality, affordable and nutritious food with local communities** 

Bath City Farm's new Community Cafe has completed its first year of operation, opening in late spring 2022. From the period May to December 2022, the cafe served over 13,000 customers and turned over a total of £79,419. The sudden increase in energy and employment costs have meant that the cafe has not made a trading surplus, but trustees are engaged in managing costs without damaging the community benefit. The cafe has added huge value to the community facilities onsite, becoming a meeting hub for local residents, substantially increasing footfall to the Farm throughout the year, and becoming another key facility through which we deliver social impact. The Café is a training facility working with people excluded from work to build confidence and skills. 

Alongside this, the Farm developed a Food Produce and Farm Shop Business Plan with support from Lloyds Bank. This has set a route to developing more opportunities for retail of Farm-made products as well as upscaling the supply of produce to our own café. As part of this development, the Farm planted 175 fruit trees made up of 7 varieties of apple, 5 varieties of pear, as well as some cherry, plum, damson and green gauge. The trees were planted by 60 volunteers over a weekend. Tree guards were also added so that the meadow can continue to be grazed. Once matured, the orchard will provide an abundant supply of fruit to turn into Farm food products for sale in our shop and café. 

## **Developing the Farm as a visitor destination** 

A range of site improvements have been made over the past 12 months. In addition to the new community Café, an improved children, youth and family’s area and roundhouse was completed in Spring. We also made infrastructure improvements such as extending wi-fi and electricity to the animal area of the site. This has allowed us to extend our CCTV network to help us keep the animals and site facilities safe. 

As part of our collaboration with Curo as their charity of the year, they raised £10.8k towards the charity and refurbished our volunteer cabin kitchen, which provides all those who come to participate in volunteering activities at the Farm a well-functioning place to go for lunch and tea breaks. 

To support more people to find out about the opportunities available at the Farm, a new website was launched, replacing the old site, which was slow and in need of updating. The new website was produced with support from West of England Growth Hub and Red Spark Digital. The new website allows us to promote the range of projects, public events and workshops at the Farm.

## **Growing resilient and sustainable communities** 

The Farm has continued to provide leadership to the Twerton and Whiteway Network, a network of local third sector organisations working together to share resources, avoid duplication and address complex challenges in the area where we live and work. Drawing upon consultancy with Sustain Live we have developed further plans for funding for a Network Coordinator role to lead on community development and a community research grant to generate more data that can be used to inform the Network’s strategic priorities. 

## **Financial Review** 

In response to a shortfall in core funding, the Farm launched a crowdfunding campaign at the end of 2022 and raised over £30k. In addition, grants secured in 2022 are as follows: 

- Children in Need towards our Children and Young Peoples programme. 

- Grants for core services were received from Cobalt Trust, The Roper Family Charitable Trust, The Medlock Charitable Foundation, Wates Foundation, Brownsword Charitable Trust and Denman Trust. 

- Henry Smith Charity, The Sobell Foundation, NHS Charities Together and Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership supported our adult mental health programme. 

- - West of England Combined Authority funded the first 9 months of our Roots to Work programme. 

- Forest of Avon funded 175 fruit trees and guards. 

- Bathscapes, Police Crime Commissioner Fund, Bath and West Community Energy, Quartet Community Foundation and Joyce Fletcher Family Trust provided funding towards site improvements. 

- Power to Change provided funding towards cost-of-Living increases. 

- Substantial corporate donations were received including from MandG plc. 

Our trading income in 2022 rose to £89,740 from £51,535 in 2021 as a result of the opening of our new cafe.  Generating an increase in trading income is a key priority in our 2022-24 strategy. 

The Farm ended the year with total funds of £912,018. Unrestricted reserves are £238,759 at the end of 2022. After taking account of future asset depreciation and redundancy reserve this equates to 5 months running costs. 

Restricted funds total £107,836 at 31st December 2022. 

## **Policy on Reserves** 

The Trustees have adopted a written policy on Reserves and Investments and aim to retain at least 6 months running costs held as Free/Unrestricted Reserves. Our monthly average running costs in 2022 were £43,000. The Trustees continue to keep the charity’s risks under review, particularly with regard to any major risks from time to time. The Farm is a low energy user, as in 2022 we used less than 40,000 kWh.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **_________________________________________________________________________** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Bath City Farm for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, and the related notes. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees (and also directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

As the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of MAAT. 

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or • the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

It should be noted that Bristol Community Accountants provide bookkeeping services to Bath City Farm.  I confirm that my duties are segregated, and I am not involved in the day-to-day bookkeeping matters of the farm.

## **BATH CITY FARM** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **Expenditure** 

Recognition of expenditure Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Expenditure on raising funds These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on charitable activities These comprise the costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs. Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid. Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the charity, together with a share of other administration costs. Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

|Fixtures and Fittings|10|% straight line|
|---|---|---|
|Office Equipment|33|% straight line|
|Plant and Equipment|20|% straight line|
|Café & Orchard|4|% straight line|
|Site Structures|20|% reducing balance|



## **Livestock** 

Livestock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. 

## **Trade and other debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. 

## **Trade and other creditors** 

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **Pension costs** 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
