OBJEcfivES AND ACTIVITIES

The charitsble objects ofThe Gr￿n Team are:
l. For the benef￿ of elderly and disabled people in Goole and the surrounding area by
the provision of a gardening sermce.
2. To advance the education of persons in horticultural skj'lls and practices by providing
training.
In Furtherance of these objects, and for the public benefit, The Green Team runs the
following attivities:
A low<ost garden maintenance senlice, offered to elderly and disabled residents living
within a ten-mile radius of Gc¥Jle which assists individuals to maintsin their gardens when
they are unable to do so themselves, reducing their stress, improving the quality of their
lives by enabling their enjoyment of their gardens, supporting their safety and
independence.
Volunteering opportunities to individuals aged over 16 with an interest in using or acquiring
skills in horticulture, developing their life and social skills. Volunteers carry out the garden
maintenance for elderly and disabled people, and volunt*rs tend the West Park growing
area/ mini Garden Cent￿. Volunteers benefit from the social contstt and sense of inclusion
from being part of our team. They benefit from participation in healthy outdoor attivity
which supports weight loss, a healthy heart and has been proven to help with depression
and stress related conditions.
Training opportunities for volunteers to leam horticultural skills are offered. They learn about
gardening and horticultu￿ and how tt can improve their quality of life and even their job
prospects. Job prospects are also helped with the provision of employability skills training.
Educational activities including a summer excursion for volunteers to visit gardens in
Yorkshire, as well as workshops and activity days.

The Green Team
Charity Number: 1080247
TRusfEES' REPORT (continued)
Public Benefit
The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and
consider this when making decisions.
Volunteers
The Staff team recrurt, support and coordinate a team of, currently 22 volunteers, which
donate approx., 3,400 hrs per year.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable Activities
Volunteer numbers continue to be a significant issue, particularly for the gardening service.
Whilst numbers have held up this year we have not been able to attratt the numbers we
really do require. Despite all our efforts the JCP have sent us very few referrals this year,
despite a number of meetings/visits, this is an area of concem.
We are and have been looking at a number of other partner5 in an attempt to alleviate this
problem. Having said that, we have still been able to service our core beneficiaries (75
gardens)
This situation has affetted our ability to reduce our waiting list as quickly as we would like.
The garden centre has been steady, and the café continues to thrive.
Stsffing levels have again been reduced, one member of stsff moving on to alternative
employment. This individual will not be immediately repla￿d.
Moving forward we will continue to search for new volunteer streams and we are in
discussion with a number of new referrers.
Financial Review
Going Concern
The Trustees are of the view after much deliberation and heart searching that, given the
importance of the charity to the local community and that formal and achievable
arrangements regarding any outstanding debt have been put into place, the charity is a
going concern and will remain so for the foreseeable future, this despite the fact that it has
been a diffficult year financially and that continued funding is difficult to obtain, the Trustees
believe that with cost saving measures being put in place, sufficient funding is, and will be,
available for at least 12 months following their approval of these financial statements.

Charity Number. 1080247

FUTURE PLANS
TRusfEES' RESPONS181LrrY FOR THE ACCOUNTS
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare
statements of account for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the stste of
affairs of the charty and of its incoming resources and application of resources for that
period. In preparing those financial ststements, the Trustees are required to:
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistendy;
Make judgements and ests'mates that are reasonable and prudent.
Prepare the financial Statements in accordance with the methods and principles set
out in the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by
Charities, and to state whether or not the accounts have been prepared in accordance
with that statement and applicable accounting standards.
Prepare the financial statements on the going concem basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for k￿pIng proper accounting records which are sufficient to
show and explain the charity's trBnsattions and to disclose with ￿asOnable accuracy at any
time the financial position of the Charity, and to enable them to ensure that any statements
of account comply with the requirements of the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations

taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detettion of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRusfEES OF THE GREEN TEAM
I report on the accounts of the Charitable Unincorpor7ted Organisation for the period ended
31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 9 to 19.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities
Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Att;
to follow the prc(edures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the Chartties Att. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with the General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a ￿VIeW of the accounting records kept
by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also
includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking
explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters.
The procedure5
undertaken do not prowde all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audit, and
consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, view
and the report is limited to those matters set out in the ststement below.
Independent examinerfs ststement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my
attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any
material respect:
the accounting records We￿ not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities
Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements conceming the form
and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations
2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fairf view which
is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I do have the following concems in connection with the examination to which attention
should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understsnding of the
accounts to be reached.
Monies have been loaned to The Green Team Works CIC, company number
10840748 in previous years. £15,875 has b*n paid back to the charity this
financial year, which leaves a balance of £2,961 of the loan still to be paid. There is
no documentation in relation to these loans.

The Green Team
Charity Number. 1080247
Outstanding PAYE payments from previous years have reduced by £3,548 during
this year leaving a balance of £39,701 still owed to HMRC.
There was only £14,815 in the bank at the year end, which would not cover
outstanding debt.
Charity is currently running below minimum number of trustees which is required
based on their constitution.

Employee Benefft Obligations
The Green Team is a member of a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme. In multi-
employer schemes additional liabilities can become payable if an employment cessation event
occurs. An employment cessation event occurs at the time an employer ceases to employ at least
one person who is an acknve member while at least one other employer continues to employ active
members.
When an employer ceases to participate in a multi*mployer scheme, their share of the liabilitie5
including any orphan liabilities (benefits in the scheme which are not related to any current
sponsoring employer) will be calculated on a buy-out ba51S.
The value of these liabilities is calculated by an attuary on 30th September each year.
The charity has estimated that its liability to the pension scheme is £2,631 (2024 . £2,628) at the
balance sheet date.
