Sumrnary of the 2021-22 Year
Inevitably. the pandemic contii)ued to have a signifJcai)t impact on the fann's operations. We reopei)ed after the
third lockdowii on April l?th with coiitinued regtrictions and additional safety Ineasures and guidance iii place.
Visitors ￿'ere queueing down the streetl We were extremely busy and many people were visiting for the
first-time.
The volume of applications to volunteer with us meani we always had a waiting list and there were also
increased requests from people with higher support needs.
Activities with schools and team volunteer days for local businesses did not retum to pre-pandemic levels with
the restricted approach to group aciiviiies.
New activities alld collaboraiions were initiated ￿'ith a particular emphasis on workillg with young people
vulnerable to crime.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS DURING THE YEAR
Visitor5
Demand has been extremely high and we reached a peak of 190 (170 in 2020121) volunteers a week during the
summer.
Work commenced on a new database which will enable us to more efficiently capiure key volunteer inforniation
and outcomes and help speed the application process.
Volunteer development workshops were held covering a variety of topics such as Customer service, money
managcment, IT and internet safety, team building and communications. We also further updated our
safcguardiiig practises to ensure a proper response to critical issues and siipported volunteers with issues such as
hoiising. employment and benefits.
Local Groups
During the year we worked with six new groups including a collaboration with Skill Mill (an employability
project for young ex-offenders} and Nottinghamshire Police (for youllg people idemtified as viilnerable to
crime). English language workshops were hosted for local people.
Team Volunteer Days for local businesses were still affected by restrictions but we were selected by six new
organisations as Iheir Charity of the yew and volunteer days are now planned.
Schoo15 and Colleges
Although school visits were also reduced due to restrictions, bookings have again commenced and we anticipate
a busy year ahead. We have been working with Notiingham College to provide support to their Animal Care

Other support costs are all￿ated based oii the spread of stsff costs.
Chtsrltthble aeilvliles
c.haritable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services
for its beneliciaries. It includes both costs that cai) be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an
indirect nature necessary to support them.
Taxatio
The charity is CL)nsidered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and
therefore it meets the defiiiition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the
chariry is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income L)r capital gains received within categories
covered by Chapter i Part I l of the Corporation Tax Act 201 O or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable
Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to chariiable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more gre initially recorded at cost: less any subsequent accumulated
depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreeiation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to }￿TIte off the cost or valuation, less any estimated
residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows..
A55et class
Buildings
Fixtures & fittings
IT equipment
General equipment
Depreciation rnethvd and rate
6.670/0 oii a straight line basis
20.0 /0 on a straight line basis
33.3 /0 on a straight line basis
10.OQ/o on a straight line basis
Stock
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard
for obsolete and slow Inoving stocks. Cost is detem)ined usii)g the first-in. first-out {FIFO).
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services perfonned in the ordinary
Lourse of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. The}, are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method. less provision for impaimient. A provision for the impaimient of trade
debtors is established M,hen there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due
according to rhe Liriginal tern)s of the receivables.
