Green and Away
Trustees. Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year
ended 31 December 2024.
Aim and Method of Working
The aim of Green & Away (G&A) is to promote environmental and social issues education by building
and running a temporary venue which is low-impact and environmentally sustainable. The facilities
are used by groups working for environmental or social change and others.
People attending events and volunteering placements gain firsthand experience of living in a
sustainable way. G&A provides the facilities needed for an event and administrative support to the
users, thus enabling groups a meaningful and accessible way to host a successful gathering.
Providing 3 vegetarian meals per day, lighting is powered by solar panels, and showers are heated by
locally grown wood, for example. We offer a variety of educational workshops including building with
sustainable materials, eating sustainably, social issues debates, cultural exchanges and low-impact
lifestyles.
By using a volunteer workforce G&A offers low cost facilities to other charities and organisations that
may not otherwise be able to afford to hold meaningful in-person gatherings, thereby helping them to
increase their effectiveness.
Organisational Structure
G&A is run by a core group of trustees who make all the running decisions, with input from volunteers
and interns during the season. The trustees are drawn from the volunteer community and are those
who have the time and experience to take on the extra responsibilities or direct the charity from an
operational level. We are aided by a team of interns appointed each year.
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.
The enclosed financial statements give an overview of the finances of G&A which have been
prepared on an appropriate accounting basis in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. Funds are
raised through the hiring out of the venue to groups, with income contributing to the direct costs of
running the event for participants but also for food and accommodation for volunteers, new
equipment, education provision and reserves. It is our general policy to hold a substantial amount in
rese￿eS should we need to replace key pieces of equipment, which are generally not insurable, such
as a new canvas marquee which could amount to a one-off cost of a quarter of our yearty income.
Overall G&A is in a stable financial position in having charitable activities fully funded by our services
and no debt or losses. Current endeavours are on using our platform and reserves to offer discounted
event hire to groups that lack the resources of larger more established organisations in order to
increase our impact.
The charity has adopted the constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and was converted
as such with the Charity Commission on 26 October 2020. as amended on 27 March 2023.

Green and Away
Trustees. Report
Annual Cycle
Throughout the year trustees work on organisational matters including reviewing previous seasons
successes and areas for improvement and planning for the forthcoming season.
In early summer, the season's volunteer crew assembles at the campsite about a fortnight before the
first conference to construct the events venue and community space. Every Wednesday throughout
the season there is an education afternoon where the volunteers learn and teach a variety of
educational workshops. Throughout a period of 5-6 weeks various eco-friendly events such as
conferences, workshops and social gatherings are held by extemal groups, facilitated by the G&A
volunteer crew. The camp is dismantled at the end of the season.
This was the organisation's 15th season at Bransford, Worcestershire.
Season Review
The first event of the year was an online trustee meeting held in March to discuss the upcoming
season. Interns were appointed in early May and volunteers were recruited throughout the months
leading up to the season and events.
We again held the Resurgence Summer Camp and the annual gathering of Ecopsychology UK,
conferences inspiring deeper connection with nature and promoting social justice and environmental
spirituality throughout the UK and abroad. We also welcomed back Black Girls Hike for a camping
retreat, further supporting them in their mission of creating a safe and welcoming space for black
women to be outdoors. Similady we hosted a small camping weekend for newly formed Touch Grass
promoting safe outdoor spa￿S for queer women of colour who we will be working with again in the
future. Another new organisation that came to us this year was Union Arts, who held an alumni event
from their previous years, programmes focussing on the intersectionality between art and activism.
We held a training retreat for Weleda Wellbeing Advisors and a wedding for one of our volunteers,
introducing environmental awareness to a new audience and helping us raise funds for the ongoing
running of the project. There were also smaller spaces for yoga retreats and an Open Day.
Guests this year were a mix of returning groups already deeply integrated into the environmental
movement, and others experiencing low-impact outdoor living for the very first time. This mixture of
people attending our site, which totaled over 470 over the period, provided a wide range of
experiences and opportunities to educate and share ideas. Most guests who filled out a feedback
form stated that they were likely to change their behaviour for the better or had learnt something new
as a result of coming to Green & Away or that they were already environmentally conscious with many
commenting on the optimistic feelings they were taking away with them from spending time outdoors
in a positive community.
We had 92 volunteers from 14 different countries, including the UK and Europe as well as Syria,
China, Brazil, Colombia, the US, Japan, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. We had 9 interns
gaining in-depth knowledge and experience in the running of a charitable organisation and outdoor
events space. All volunteers who filled out a post-volunteering feedback form said that their
knowledge of environmental issues had improved and that they were likely to make pro-environmental
lifestyle chol￿S as a result of coming to G&A.
In October, the trustees held an online meeting to discuss the successes of the season as well as
what can be improved for the following year to maximise impact and greater meet our objectives.
