## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2023** **Charity name: Bagthorpe Gardeners** **Charity registration number: 1109448** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP
reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes
of the charity as set out in
its governing document|Para 1.17|To promote for the benefit of the public the
preservation, maintenance and improvement of
Bagthorpe Gardens and any structures or
buildings contained therein as a place of historic
interest and beauty and to advance the education
of the public in horticulture and other related
subjects.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to
those purposes for the
public benefit, in particular,
the activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|Meeting our stated Purpose:
1. The gardens have been afforded protection
by the Trustees through active ongoing
management. Over time the Trustees have
purchased new plots (when available), and have
also struck agreements to manage plots for
absentee owners.
Gaining English Heritage recognition (Grade II*)
has also secured a degree of “future proofing” for
the site
2. The historical buildings on site (bothies) are
being/have been conserved, repaired and rebuilt
(using reclaimed materials) for the benefit and
their use by plot workers and Trustees.
3. Active management of the site has brought
many more allotment gardens back into
productivity to enable more of the public to gain
access to the site for growing produce, for
exercise and recreation.
4. The overall heritage is also being protected
by our sustainable approach to our activities.
The essential nature of the allotments, its
hedges, paths and wildlife are cared for by not
allowing any chemicals to be used, by installing
water conservation methods, shredding hedge
cuttings, creating dead hedges, and having
policies that link to nature friendly practices e,g.
composting and recycling materials.| |||5. Volunteering opportunities are widely
available to the Membership and public. This
involves a range of activities from being involved
in the management, running and oversight
(Trustees and Officers) to working more
physically on site. Work parties involve volunteers
and well as offering the potential to gain basic
skills in building or aspects of horticulture.
6. Educational activities for the wider
community are also supplied through talks about
the site’s history offered at our Open Day plus
planned access from groups such as:
• University of the 3rd Age
• Sherwood Open Gardens – tours into the site
• The Local Art Group
• The wider public on Heritage Open Day
Some events are also more widely accessed by
the public: e.g. Apple Pressing Day which also
offers an educational angle.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any
wider benefits to society
as a whole.|Para 1.20|The main beneficiaries are our plot-holder
members. They maintain the allotments as a
working concern, benefiting from healthy eating,
exercise, mental well-being from being in a green
space.

residents using the gardens for painting therapy
* Tours – Sherwood Open Gardens and U3A,
raising awareness of the history of the gardens
and the horticultural elements of the allotments.

the public. Work Parties to maintain the Heritage
aspect – infrastructure work on hedging, historic
bothy building repairs and maintenance, pond
and wildlife area management.
Environmental achievements
* Creating wildlife areas.

previous 5 financial years, the Bagthorpe
Gardens income has been in the region of £3500
with a small surplus achieved at the end of each
year. This year Bagthorpe Gardeners was the
recipient of a £25,000 legacy bequest from a
former Trustee.| ||Para 1.41|Not applicable| |||| |||| ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|Very good, due to the unexpected £25,000
legacy which we received in September. In the
previous 5 years we have had a turnover of
about £3500 which allowed for the accumulation
of a small surplus each year.
Proposed uses for these funds:
1. Purchase of more garden plots within the
Bagthorpe Gardens estate from private
ownership. These will be renovated where
necessary and returned to allotment cultivation to
rent to local residents.
2. Renovation and rebuilding of several historic
buildings on the Bagthorpe gardens estate which
have fallen into disrepair or had needed to be
dismantled as they had become dangerous. One
of these will become a museum to house our
historic artefacts found on the site.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves|Para 1.22|Bagthorpe Gardeners holds insurance for both
our members and our volunteers. (Public Liability| |stating why they are held||and Employers' Liability insurance)
We do not have regular monthly expenditure
(salaries, pensions, rents, rates, or utility bills
apart from water) so no reserves are required to
fund these if income fell. The money spent on
water bills is recovered retrospectively from the
plot-holders at the end of the year.
It is considered that our main uninsured threats
are
1. a substantial mains water leak
2. a breach of the perimeter gates and fences
and vandalism
and that a contingency reserve of £2000 is
required to be able to address these
occurrences.| |---|---|---| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£2000| |Reasons for holding zero

* Annual membership fees (around £1300)
* rental from plots on the allotments (around
£850 per annum)
* Water dues paid by members retrospectively
against the year's water bills (variable £1100 -

Heritage Open Day (about £350)
* Small value cash donations (Heritage Open
Day) and small value regular standing order.

I have also brought the folder of income and expenditure which interested parties are welcome to examine. The handout of the summary accounts are shown with income on the left and expenditure on the right and the significant items will explained in the order they are listed. 2022 was an extra-ordinary year for the finances of Bagthorpe Gardeners. Our friend, the late Steve Nash left Bagthorpe Gardeners a very generous legacy in his will which realised an initial payment of £25,000 in September 2022. This gift took our annual turnover from about £4,400 to £29,733 in 2022. This caused our reporting status to the Charity Commission to change. Any charity with an income of over £25,000 has to file their accounts in a more structured form with additional assurances about their financial governance. We are fortunate that for many years Ann Booth has been our Independent Examiner. She has done this to a high standard and with due diligence such that her normal practice was appropriate to the more rigorous standards now required by the Charity Commission. I would like to thank Ann for being our Independent Examiner again this year, and signing off these accounts for 2022 for the Charity Commission. We are also now in a position that we can report to the Charity Commission that we have examined our financial practices and these comply with the standards that the Charity Commission expects. This is in no small part due to the groundwork done by my predecessor Stephen Tipping with whom I worked as junior under Treasurer for 2 years. Turning to the summary account, the total opening balances of the current account and water account were £6,981.92 The dormant water account historically set up to serve the West Avenue water account was closed in 2022 and the £8.84 transferred into the main current account. The income (which is also referred to as turnover by the Charity Commission) was £29,733.06 The total expenditure was £6,365.05 The closing balance for the current account at 31 December 2022 was £30,341.09 ## **Income breakdown** Usually our main sources of income is from **annual memberships and plot rents.** Plot rents have been £15 per annum since 2019, and memberships have been £15 since before 2016. In 2022 **plot rents generated £855** (£705 in 2021) and **memberships generated £1,365** (£1405 in 2021) The **water dues collected totalled £1064.88** . This recovered the amount paid in water bills for the financial year 2021 for both avenues **Donations** throughout the year totalled **£337.12** including £132.20 at HOD Heritage Open day generated a profit before expenses of £682.70 The net profit was £466.82 (not including donations) Gift Aid is a vital part of our income as a small charity. I **n 2022 we recovered £248 on memberships and eligible donations.** Since we first started recovering Gift Aid in 2020, Bagthorpe Gardeners has received a total of **£1,963.40** from HMRC to the end of 2022. I would like to thank all of our members who have been able to sign Gift Aid forms. Steve Nash's legacy of £25,000 which I have already touched on, was tax free, but is not eligible for Gift Aid ---- The three biggest **Expenditure** items on the balance sheet are shown in green ## **Water Bills totalling £1172.52** The dry summer caused these bills to be higher than in the previous year. The money paid out will be reclaimed in full by the water dues collected in 2023. I would like to thank Paul Saxton for working out the individual water dues every year. ## **Tools and Equipment £1650** The purchase of an Eliet shredder in March 2022 was made possible by the money reclaimed in Gift Aid. It has already paid for itself when compared to the daily cost of hiring an equivalent shredder from Frank Key. We also purchased Two gazebos for open days at £99 each. ## **Work done by external contractors £1715** Much needed repairs to the composting loo steps needed before HOD £305 Asbestos removal from the building on Plot 36 plus stored asbestos £1200 Running down the rest of the expenditure which warrants some explanation. This is highlighted in orange: **NSALG** National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners membership £285 **Insurance** total £312.47 - two premiums paid in 2022 We were slightly late with our 2022 payment, paid on time for the 2023 premium. We have also taken out Employers' Liability cover for any volunteers. HOD expenses - Honey, samosas, refreshment stall, gas bottle Rent to landlords - A W Lymn who own part of the Community Garden. Nick Corder has negotiated a new lease at £1 per year. And finally Legal and admin - £84 reimburse Nick Corder for fees at the Land Registry examining our title deeds to the July Plot. Bagthorpe calendars to the owners of Bagthorpe Gardeners managed plots where we are not charged rent. Are there any questions about the 2022 accounts? I propose that these accounts are accepted as a true and correct record. May I have a seconder? ---- I would also like to propose a vote of thanks to our Independent Auditor Ann Booth. May I have a seconder?

Legal position: Charity Commission CC19** "All charities must include in their annual report their policy on reserves, stating the level of reserves held and why they are held. Where the charity does not have a reserves policy in place, it should include a statement to that effect." ## **2. Bagthorpe Gardeners Reserves requirement assessment** Bagthorpe Gardeners will review the amount of reserves required annually based on: - the previous year's income and expenditure. - the current year's projected income and expenditure. - any new risk which requires an increased reserve sum to be held, or any risk which has diminished which would allow the Trustees of Bagthorpe Gardeners to reduce the reserve level. The reserve level for the current year will be assessed no later than the end of February each year, and agreed and minuted no later than the March at the business meeting of Trustees. ## **3. Agreed reserve levels for 2023** This is the headline figure for the reasons itemised below. ## **The Trustees of Bagthorpe Gardeners consider that the reserve fund for 2023 should be** **£2000** which equates to 6.6% of our end of year cash holdings of £30,341 (unrestricted and undesignated funds) and 6.7% of this year's turnover of £29,733. This reserve would pay for occasions where a sum is needed immediately for urgent repairs where a delay would cost more or leave us vulnerable, for example a mains pressure water leak (repair and payment for water loss) or securing a major breach in our perimeter gates. We do not need to set reserves for loss of donations (minor part of our income), grants (not applied for) or staff salaries. ## **4. Income 2022** ## 4.1 Regular income The greater part of our regular annual income is secure and predictable. - Plot rents £855 - Memberships (all plot rents are contingent on at least one membership per plot) £1365 - Gift Aid on qualifying memberships £181 - In 2022 together these totalled £2401 Water income is calculated to cover previous year's bills, charged to the plot tenants. ## 4.2 Variable income Charity donations - unpredictable amount - £322 last year. We do not rely on this to fund essential work and maintenance. Legacy donation - one-off £25,000 ## **5. Projected income 2023** Regular annual income will be unchanged - memberships and plot rent prices the same as for 2022. Donations will potentially decrease due to the economic climate. Potential second payment from legacy donation - amount unknown. ## **6. Expenditure 2022** No salaries, pensions, or regular monthly outgoings associated with maintaining premises (electricity, gas, rent or other charges) No loans or interest payments. Essentials: Insurance (Public Liability and Employers Liability) £151 National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners membership £285 Water bills are balanced by the water payments from plotholders. Excess revenues are spent on maintenance and development of the Bagthorpe Gardens estates, but budgeted within the money available. **Expenditure 2022 £6365.05** including £3058 in one-off spends and payments made for previous years. (comparison 2021 £2128.92) ## **7. Projected expenditure 2023** No unavoidable outgoings apart from water bills (claimed back from plotholders), insurance, NSALG Maintenance and upkeep of estate estimated £2000 over the year. Legacy money will be held in an interest account for funding capital projects: - buying plots when they become available - rebuilding structures on plot 36 and plot 20 (2 year plan) - convert possessory titles into absolute titles CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND AND WALES Bagthorpe Gardeners 1109448 Receipts and payments accounts CC16a For the period from enoa '. lie 01101122 31112122 Section A Receipts and payments Unrestricted funds Endowment funds Restricted funds Total funds Last year to the nearest to the nearest £ to the nearest £ to the nearest £ to the nearest £ A1 Recei Plot rent ts 855 855 690 Mernbership subscription5 Water reimbursements from plotholders for bills paid b the Chari in the revious ear Ke de osits 1,365 1,365 1,410 1,066 1.066 968 180 180 Sales Herita enDa 683 683 693 Donations 337 337 281 Gift Aid 248 248 337 Calendar sales 129 Le ac be uest 25,000 25,000 Sub total(Gross income for AR) A2 Asset and investment sales, see table 29,734 29.734 4,508 Sub total Total receipts 29.734 29.734 4.508 CCXX R1 accounts ISSI 2110312023 A3Pa ments Water bills (Severn Trent) NASLG membership Insuran¢e12022 and 20231 External contractors 1.172 285 1,172 28$ 1.108 279 312 312 1,715 1,715 18 Locks and keys Supplies lor work done on the allotments Tools 8nd equipment Heritage Open Day Exp8nses Manure 249 496 496 409 1,650 216 1,650 216 165 165 Rent to Landlords 21 21 Leg81 and Administration Equipment hire 2021 Steve Nash Memorial event expenses 119 119 144 144 48 48 77 Sub total 6,361 6.361 2.122 A4 Asset and investment urchases, see table Sub total Total payments 6,361 6.361 2,122 Net of receipts/(payments) A5 Transfers between funds A6 Cash funds last year end Cash funds this year end 23,373 23.373 2.386 6,973 30,346 6,973 30,346 2.386 CCXX R2 accounts ISSI 2110312023 Section B Statement of assets and liabilities at the end of the period Unrestricted funds to naar&st £ Restricted funds Endowment funds to n8ar•st t Categories Details to n&aMst £ B1 Cash funds Bank eLJrrent account 30,346 Total cash funds 30,346 (agree balances Mth receipts and p8ymenl8 accounllsll OK Unrestricted funds to nearest £ OK Restricted funds OK Endowment funds to nea￿$1 £ Details to nearest £ Fund to which ass8t belongs Current value loptionall Details None Cost loptionall B3 Investment assets CCXX R3 accounts ISSI 2110312023 Fun(1 to whlch asset belongs Unrestricted funds Details lotm8nt plot 22 Cost loptlonall Current value loptionall B4 Assets retained for the charity's own use 5.000 lotment plot July Unrestricted funds 16.500 lotment plot 46 Unrestricted funds 5,000 Allotment plot 36 Unrestricted funds 2,000 Fund to which liability relates Amount due loptional} When due {optionall Details None B5 Liabilities CCXX R4 accounts ISSI 2110312023 Signed by one or tsvo trustees on behalf of all th8 trustees Signature Print Name Dat6 of approval The f*ure$ fr*r th• 2022 B*JI￿rpe Gardorw5 1109448 •¢counts oro ￿1ghty dmfernnt ts tt appro¥•d by ow Indepondwl dup to tr* rouTrJing prou*i.
