Achievements

2023-24 was another busy and successful year for Sunnyside.

Our work

For the third year, we have been consistently open for volunteer gardening 4 days a week, each day with a different focus and with a different community gardener leading the day.

Our staff team (comprising a manager, three community gardeners and an administrator— all of whom work part-time) remained stable throughout the year. This stability contributed to each of the gardening days becoming busier, with many more volunteers attending them on a regular basis. These volunteer gardeners are our main beneficiaries and also contributors to all that we achieve, coming together to support and learn from each other and enjoy making a beautiful open-access garden for the wider community to use as a community resource.

The wildflower meadow in our nature reserve was extensively worked on throughout the year to alter its fertility and balance of plants to encourage growth of a diverse range of native wild flowers. The more formal Morris Family Garden and raised beds were kept wellmaintained and planted up with bulbs and bee-friendly perennial flowering plants to provide a good display of flowers throughout the year and support diversity. We also replanted several beds of the Noel-Baker Peace Garden which we look after on behalf of Islington Council as part of a decade-long project to restore this important historical garden.

Land in our plant nursery was returned to us after being taken over for several years by the local council, to enable construction of new social housing on an adjacent plot. This space was brought back into use to increase the area devoted to growing vegetables, and for a new polytunnel. This new covered space enabled us to grow-on plants raised from seed and cuttings for use in the gardens and to raise money through plant sales.

This year saw an increase in the number of volunteers with high levels of support needs attending the ‘Cook and Grow’ project on Tuesday. This meant that in March we decided to redeploy our outreach worker to assist the community gardener running the ‘Cook and Grow’ project. Despite this, we were still able to welcome and support other groups to visit and make use of our garden.

A group of students with special educational needs and disabilities from Leyton College visited nine times over 2-3 months to gain gardening work experience. Bright Start Islington (North) ran weekly “Stay and Play” sessions in our family garden throughout the year for parents with preschool children. St Mungo’s charity arranged for participants in their Putting Down Roots scheme to visit Sunnyside to introduce them to an alternative gardening scheme they could join once their own scheme ended. We also were able to host a corporate volunteering day for—DCC Smart— they gardened with us as part of a teambuilding day and gave a donation.

4

There were many celebrations and gatherings in the gardens, including:

For the local community we ran 11 Sunday Socials with a plant sale, a cake stalls, occasional children’s events and a seasonal activity. An Easter egg hunt, a “Sunflower Growing Kit” give-away in the summer and a wreath-making class were particularly popular and attended by many people from our surrounding housing estates.

Volunteers

Volunteers form the core of the warm and supportive community at Sunnyside. They work together with the community gardeners on the shared goal of making a beautiful back garden and nature space for everyone who lives in Hillrise. This year we increased our average number of volunteers per day by 24% to 10.6 volunteers per day.

We are inclusive of people with many types of differences. We have people from different social and ethnic backgrounds, different amounts of financial wealth and a wide spectrum of mental, physical and emotional health.

Sunnyside embodies an asset-based approach, focusing on people’s strengths and talents rather than on what they can’t do. We have many great gardeners, litter pickers, DIY

5

enthusiasts, nature lovers, kimchi makers, bakers, first aiders, composters and people who are good at sitting down and chatting with someone who needs a friendly face and welcome. Our volunteers get to know their neighbours and make firm friendships at Sunnyside. Volunteers take time to welcome and talk with the many visitors to the garden (and their pets) to make Hillrise a greener and friendlier place.

We are reaching the maximum number of volunteers we currently have capacity for. Comparing this financial year to the previous three years clearly shows that our volunteer numbers have increased year on year. The number of volunteers who volunteer with us and the number of days they come has also increased, as well as the average number of volunteers who come each day.

Community building

At Sunnyside we focus on community building. We create opportunities for people to socialise and feel a sense of ownership of the gardens. As well as special events and community meetings, our days are structured to support these aims. We always start the

6

day with a group meeting, where the community gardener and volunteers together plan the day’s work, taking account of individuals strengths and preferences.

We also sit down together for a free healthy lunch cooked each day by a volunteer. It’s a great opportunity for newcomers to get to know their fellow volunteers and become part of our community. For many the Sunnyside lunch is the favourite part of the day and it is a way that we can show our appreciation to all the volunteers who come to garden. Many of the ingredients for our lunches are sourced from our plant nursery or from a weekly donation from a local VegBox scheme, or from local shops.

To show our thanks to all our volunteers and give people the chance to meet and get to know others who volunteer on days they may not attend we have two volunteer parties a year. The Summer Party where we have an evening picnic in the garden and the Winter Party where we hire an event space in a local pub. Both events are well attended and hugely enjoyed and help us build our strong, caring community.

“We all come here to heal”

In Spring 2023 Simon Kuper from the Financial Times visited Sunnyside to research an article on the value of community gardens and the challenges many face to obtain the funding necessary to operate.

His article was published in the FT Weekend in May 2023. Heading the article with a quote from one of our volunteers “we all come here to heal” he stated that “Community gardens can help with conditions from obesity to loneliness”, and he made a strong case for the need to protect and fund community gardens: “British local councils rarely give grants to community gardens anymore. Worse, authorities will always be tempted to replace these places with homes or roads, which can show a financial return - as if somewhere like Sunnyside were a luxury rather than one of the last vestiges of community that many people have”.

7

Lookin ahead g

The stability and extra resources provided by the National Lottery grant, allowed us to better develop how we plan our activities and how we evaluate the impact of our work. At Sunnyside key decisions are often now made at large meetings, involving not only the trustees and staff but also the volunteers and regular visitors and users of the gardens. We promote inclusive and sociable meetings where everyone can input, and all ideas are respected. We work to come to decisions primarily with a consensus decision making process.

During the year we engaged external evaluators “Shephard and Moyes” to help Sunnyside improve our evaluation and better describe the benefits of our work. In June they ran a halfday open meeting with a cross-section of our volunteers exploring what their goals were for Sunnyside and how best to measure our impact. Together we came up with a plan of how to gather evidence and Shephard and Moyes, using the volunteer’s input, devised visitor and volunteer surveys which we launched in December. Over winter our volunteers and visitors filled in these paper or online surveys, often working in pairs to make the process more sociable and to support those who have challenges with literacy, English or IT. We completed this first large survey in the Spring and will receive the final evaluators report in early 2025. The findings will inform our future development plans and provide us with solid evidenced-based data that can be used in future funding bids.

The other major area that we made progress, was on developing our plans for a new volunteer building. Since 2013 (when our original building was burnt down in an arson attack) we have been based in an old, dilapidated construction site cabin. With the growth in our activities and volunteer numbers, this is now totally inadequate for our needs. A local architect, Cooke Fawcett, has worked with us to design a new building. This involved extensive consultation with volunteers to ensure the building will be fit-for-purpose. In April we launched a fundraising appeal for this with 30 people from the local community including our local MP, councillors and council officers. As well as a GoFundMe page, several volunteers have held their own fundraising initiatives, including yoga classes in the garden, sponsored runs, an open mic music event and a sponsored litter pick.

The three-year National Lottery “Community Hub” grant will come to an end in August 2024. Therefore, we have started applying for grants so that we can continue with the work of the last three years.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
