- MESC ANNUAL REPORT 2020 2021

Annual Report – Financial

Pam Treadwell reported that our income was more than the expenditure mainly down to the government furlough scheme we were able to apply for during the pandemic, along with the Hereford council small business grants and the restart payment awarded from them. We were able to run Family Days in the summer with reduced numbers also Family Christmas Days and School Christmas visits, all reduced numbers and covid safe. Some School sessions were cancelled.

The balances today in the bank were;- Cash account £21301, Gold account £36690, the Gold account has a ring fenced figure of £27,000 towards redundancies and remainder is from grant monies held in this account for specific funded projects that MESC are working to complete.

This year’s accounts and report have been qualified by an independent accountant examiner, Mr. Alan King who had signed and dated them as correct. A copy of the financial report is shown below.

Annual Report - Education

Louise Murphy (MESC Manager) commented that the 2019/20 period was not too badly affected by coronavirus lockdown, with only 5 school visits, a willow wigwam weaving course and the Easter event needing to be cancelled. The majority of the school cancellations were in 2020/21 period, however we managed to hold Summer, Half term and Easter Family Days, a Falconry encounter, and school and family Christmas sessions.

Building & Site Developments

Steve Anstey (MESC maintenance engineer) commented that flexible furlough allowed him to carry on maintaining the site during lockdown on a reduced working week. Larger projects have included reed clearing in the main pond, a new dipping platform at the dewpond and installing drainage pipe from the office cabin guttering to the dewpond. Steve is currently creating stone pathways around the site. Paths have been started from Hares Meadow to steel bridge and up to cabin. A new electric underground cable is planned to be installed into Christmas woods. With volunteers help and the use of a mini digger which has been kindly loaned by his brother-in-law. Funding for these projects is from grants mentioned above. Steve reported no break-ins to date, but that the neighboring chicken sheds are now being worked on again after a long break. This has resulted in a troublesome bonfire which was lite by the contractors to try and dispose of some of the accumulated waste from demolishing the old sheds. Brightwells reported this to the fire brigade as it was unsupervised and getting out of control, the fire brigade attended site and extinguished the fire. Nick Wood asked about the debris and rubbish left piled up by our fence. Louise replied that she had reported this to the Environmental department at Hereford council and the Environment Agency who have said that the owners of the property have a 12-month period to dispose of this debris, which must be removed from site. Louise will check again in February 2022 and report back to the Trustees on developments. The major impact

when the new building/development of this site is completed could be the smell and unsightly buildings, which we probably will not have any redress upon.

Steve thanked Alan King and Bryn Thomas for their weekly help with maintenance on the Nature Reserve and Jon King for donating guttering and handrails, which will be installed and used around our site where needed.

Looking to our Future

Steve Williams expressed great regret at loosing 2 trustees (Christianne Wakeman and Jon King) and officially thanked Jon for all his hard work that he had put into the charity over the years. Steve will write to Christianne Wakeham thanking her on behalf of the charity. In the meantime, maybe the Articles of the constitution can be amended to accommodate the reduction in our trustees re voting.

Discussion to recruit more trustees included suggestions to advertise with HVOSS, approaching local school governors, the local church, parish councillors and Herefordshire Council. Steve suggested looking for someone maybe in council and connected to finance for one possible trustee. Nick Wood said that he will ask over at BT to see if he could drum up anyone interested in becoming a trustee. Maureen will send a memo to him with details. Steve suggested a different twist to the Easter Event, making it more like a Spring Fayre. He also suggested a coracle making course could be something of interest. Louise has applied to Hereford community Trust Foundation for a £10,000 grant for a Sensory corridor, this would involve a considerable amount of work.

Steve mentioned opening the site to more independent groups re outdoor activities. A yoga retreat was also mentioned as an idea.
