## **Structure, governance and management**
## _**Nature of governing document**_
The Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. It is operated under the rules of its CIO - Foundation Conversion constitution dated 16 July 2020.
## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_
Following the conversion to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in July 2020 STAA continues to use an open recruitment process to recruit of trustees seeking to attract those with specific skills and experience. We have advertised for trustees more widely than previously, utilising local CVS services, social media and other free advertising opportunities. We continue to provide recruitment information packs in accordance with Charity Commission advice.
## **Objectives and activities**
## _**Objects and aims**_
The objects of the company are:
A) to promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of St Ann's, Nottingham and the surrounding area, without distinction of sex, or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating statutory authorities, voluntary organisations and the general public in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and other leisure time occupation (in particular facilities for allotment and recreational gardening) with the object of improving the conditions of life for those who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances;
B) to advance the education of the public in allotment and recreational gardening and the protection and improvement of the natural environment;
C) the promotion for the benefit of the public of urban regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation, in particular the St Ann's area of Nottingham by all or any of the following means: i) the relief of financial hardship;
ii) the advancement of education and volunteer experience;
iii) the maintenance, improvement or provision of recreational facilities; iv) the preservation of buildings or sites of historic or architectural importance;
v) the maintenance, improvement or provision of public amenities.

## **Trustees' Report**
## _**Public benefit**_
STAA meets these objectives by;
• Maintaining a Community Orchard which provides a range of outdoor urban nature activities for recreation and personal development. These are accessed by the local community, children, young people and families, and schools in the local Nottingham and Nottinghamshire area.
• Running a series of workshops and volunteering activities for the public which encourage engagement with the natural heritage and environment of the site and which uses the site to provide these learning opportunities.
• Organising a series of visits to the allotments and talks about its heritage and history to local groups and individuals.
• Running a horticultural learning project providing support for volunteering opportunities and support wider community access to greenspace as a place to relax, socialise and enjoy.
• Running a Community Harvest project to distribute produce grown on our sites to community cafes and food redistribution providers.
The nature of these activities all to varying degrees contribute to our engagement with local residents and the wider public. We recorded nearly 7,000 individual attendances on our projects, by 2,000 individual project participants or volunteers. These included 244 local people who attended at least one of our free Community Open Days and 170 people who attended tours of the grade 2* listed St Anns Allotments site.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
## **Achievements and performance**
STAA’s key achievements from the year have been;
- A successful project launch event for our ‘Growing to Grow’ project with 80 attendees;
- 74 new volunteers joined Team STAA;
- Over 400 sessions were delivered for the benefit of the local community;
- Around 7,000 all age visits were made to our activities;
- 4 horticultural learning workshops were piloted, with the learning informing our future programme of delivery; - Our Community Harvest Project continues to distribute up to 25kg of seasonal fruit and vegetables per month to local people;
- We have developed new partnerships across the city, supporting inclusion and access to greenspace; - STAA was one of the very first Greenspace ‘Trusted Providers’ in Nottingham, providing ‘green prescriptions’ for local people;
- We were able to maintain a full programme of activities, albeit with attendance caps, through continuing Covid restrictions.
## **Financial review**
STAA continues to maintain a healthy financial position. Staff continue to secure support via grant funding from current and new funders alike. In addition, we have started to take steps to diversify our sources of funding by running paid-for learning workshops as well as tours and talks. We hope to expand these activities in the future.
The Board of Trustees again wishes to place on record its recognition of the work of a dedicated group of staff whose contribution goes far beyond the rewards they receive from the organisation.

## **Trustees' Report**
## _**Policy on reserves**_
STAA aims to keep unrestricted reserves of at least 3 months annual expenditure costs plus designated reserves specifically to cover our redundancy liabilities.
The reserves policy is reviewed annually and takes account of known and potential future liabilities, such as redundancy costs, project funding gaps and inflation. In 2022/23, the amount of unrestricted funds to be held in reserves (General Fund) is £55,000 and an additional £29,000 in designated reserves to cover any potential redundancy liabilities.
## _**Major risks and management of those risks**_
## _Financial risks_
Key financial risks are a reduction in available grant funding and rising inflation increasing our costs. STAA is taking active steps to diversify its income through increased paid for workshops, donations and corporate giving.
We are investing in our fundraising skills and expertise to assist us to maximise our income. Our investment in a new CRM will provide data that will help us to clearly articulate our impact, make stronger funding bids and provide a sound evidence base for our activities.

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of STAA**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of STAA**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of STAA (the Charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The financial statements on pages 7 to 22 were approved by the trustees, and authorised for issue on 15 August 2022 and signed on their behalf by:
......................................... Lydia Watkinson Trustee
The notes on pages 10 to 22 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 9
## **STAA**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
STAA meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
## _**Grants receivable**_
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## _**Gift aid**_
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Page 10
## **STAA**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Government grants**
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|IT equipment|33.3% straight line|
|Buildings|10.0% straight line|
|Fixtures & fittings|20.0% straight line|
|General equipment|25.0% straight line|
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Page 11
## **STAA**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022**
## **Trade creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds and resources set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
