A¢hl8vamgnts and p8rfom1an￿ for tho publlc bgnafit
The Nature Park continues to r)e of great benefit to the residents of Litt￿ cha￿Ont and the surrounding areas. as
a safe haven for local walks and exerrAse. with continuing increases in the number of visitors. The park remains a
peaceful and tranquil environment vith no motorised vehiths. other than those required for the very occasional
maintenance.
The paths We￿ laid during the 5ummw 2023 in a¢CcKdan￿ wilh our commitm￿1 to all donors and grant fvnders
and the re￿dents of Litug ChaKont. They were delivered on time and ￿thin budget and in accordar)ce with the
specification. The trt￿tee$ appointed a Proje(* Manager to h81p oversee the SLbccessful complet¢on of the paths
and would like lo thank Peter Bedey for his eiforts and ctxnmitrnenl to ensuring the successful completion of the
paths. Installation by 3(lth September 2023.
The trustees acknowgdge that delivering the paths would not have been achievable ￿thOut the SPg¢kfic support
of our path fundefs 8nd our record of appreciati(m is gtvÉn to the HS2 Community Fund, Amersham & Villag8$
Community Board and the Nation81 Lottery Community Fund for their genemus contributions.
The results were well rece￿ed by the public. as demonstrated by the significant increase in vlsrtor numbers from
all walks of lrfe and age groups. The overriding objective was to make the pafk'acwible to all- in a safe
environment, and this has been achieved. Signtficant numbers of elderly users wth mobilty and walking aids are
using the park, with the circular paths lending Ihemselves to a lap or tsvo for visitors. Another large group of

visitor5 are pa￿nts with buggies and smaller thildren and the park 15 prowng to be a regular. popular meeting
place. the abundance of benches providing opportunty for rest and conversation.
The enjoyTnent and gcology of the park is vèry important to the trustees and over the yeals we We￿ pleased that
local schools have o)nlributed to bug holeLs and leaming areas. Our thank5 also go to Dr. Challoner's High
School who have r￿entlY finished a wdeo of the park, the results of whith will sh¢yUy be p)5ted C￿ the website.
Studies are also tsking place to e5tabli$h the pcwlaticffl of wtiles and insects.
Looking to tho fijture, our thanks are also given to the wdespread ong￿ng sur4)ort we receive from the active
volunteers from the Management Gmup. the Parish Counal. Friends of the Nature Park and the Little Chalfont
Community Assooakn. wthout bvth05e SUPE￿ the park coubj not be the 8s5et to the communty it is today.
Flnanclal Revlew
Income for the year was £90,673, indudwbg the arnual rental paymont of£500. Grants towards the pathway
amounted to £88,434. whith gratefvlty reeetved to alkm the pathways to bg installad.
There was signifi(gnt grant income reL*ived fr(#n a varigty of instituttons to help finance the development and
completion of the palhs.
There were also ongoing bank charges. filng fees and insuran(x premivms.
The overall cost of the paths was £103.032. which has been ca&Ntalised as a fixed asset. As a resu￿ of the grant
income re¢eivgd during the year. wslh the costs of the paths ￿ng ca￿lIsed. there Is a signfficant surplus
recognis8d in the accounts.
DepTecialion of the newty laid paths is 10% on a straight4ine basis. based on the 10 year guarantee frcrfn the
Snstaller. With the paths having b88n effectivety comp￿ted by 30 September 2023. there was effectively 7 months
of depreaation Charg￿ to the inc£*ne statemenL vthith amounted to £6.010.
Going forward in subsequent years. due to the depw8ticffl of the fixed asset relating to the paths. there will likely
be a¢￿￿nting deficits recorded, wrth the costs effectively being spread over the wming 10 years.
As a result of the developrnent spend and in rel8ticff¢ to p8rt( benthes (offset by grants and (k)nations
r￿1Ved), and ongoing administrative expenses. this resumed in a surplus for the year of £83,999.
