Section D Achievements and performance

The trustees produce the Links magazine by Easter each year. This gives Summary of the main a detailed account of the achievements and performance of the charity achievements of the charity over the preceding year and copies are available on request. The website during the year provides information, including recordings of recent events, as well as a growing collection of archived resource material. During the year Mill Grove has provided a safe space and support for over 40 children, young people, and where appropriate, their families, as well as vulnerable adults. There have been four families/part families living at Mill Grove during 2023-2024. Some stayed throughout the year, others for shorter, usually regular and planned periods. This number includes several members of the extended family of Mill Grove (in that they, or members of their families, lived here as children). This reflects a commitment to be alongside a child and the child's subsequent family unconditionally. There is long-term and prayerful support for the extended family of Mill Grove (i.e. those who have lived here as children, their spouses, and families through generations) practically, emotionally and spiritually, reflecting this unconditional commitment.

Families and individuals in the locality regularly turn to us for help and support. There is consistent ministry in local churches and groups, as well as farther afield, as intended and modelled by the Founder Herbert White, grandfather of Keith White. Further adaptations to the properties in North Wales meant that forty of the extended family and friends were able to stay or visit for periods of the August summer holiday, hosted by Keith and Ruth. Annual events such as Our Day in May, Founders’ Day in November, and Christmas were celebrated.

The Mill Grove Pre-School and The Rose Walton Centre use the premises daily during term-time to serve young local children and their families in a variety of ways. Each is an integral part of Mill Grove, practically as well as legally.

Local groups, including the Maybank Community Association, churches, and Counsel for Life, hold meetings and sessions at Mill Grove. Piano and music lessons have continued with a new teacher (and composer) living locally. We have links with several networks and organisations whose aims and values are consistent with ours as listed above. Keith White serves as the Chair of Trustees of Abridge Village Church, founded by Herbert White. Keith has preached and taught extensively in London and the Home Counties based on his life and experience of God's faithfulness at Mill Grove.

In addition to Links , literature and material describing the experiences and distilled wisdom of Mill Grove, including Know your Bible , The Bible (Narrative) NIrV , A Place for Us (DVD), The Growth of Love, Reflections on Living with Children (Volumes I, II and III) and the autobiography Somebody’s Son (now in Kindle format), continue to be distributed.

Maintenance of the properties in Woodford and North Wales continued, with several rooms redecorated and upgraded. Some new windows have been installed, there was a major overhaul of the lift and there has been work outside on window frames and the front wall. This has involved a

combination of professional, paid labour, and the voluntary efforts of former members of the Mill Grove family. The maintenance of the properties in North Wales is managed by a former trustee. We actively explore ways of living more sustainably based on the recommendations of an energy audit in 2017. This has included extensive insulation of windows, and the use of solar and thermal energy.

We continue to rely on God to meet our needs and do not advertise or engage in fundraising.

Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Stocks and work in Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net progress realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at

Debtors ( g ) g settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Current asset investments The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year.
