## **Funding** 

We continue to receive funding from The National Lottery Community’s ‘Reaching Community’ Fund which covers all our costs for the community garden and some of our core costs. 

We received funding for a pilot ‘Makers’ group which was followed up by a small Devon Community Foundation grant. This was to form a group of people who had mainly attended courses before to use natural materials to make things which could be sold, the intention being that it becomes a self-funding group 

Other unearned funding came through donations and our joint open days with West Town Farm. 

Our substantial difference in our balance for this year compared to the previous year are due to: 

- Reduced grant income but spending of a grant issued in the previous year 

- No crowdfunding campaign 

- An agreed increase in administration costs

Brought Forward from 2018 £75,855 Total Income in 2019 £60,025 Total Expenditure 2019 £68,968 Surplus for the Year (£8,943) Balance Carried Forward to 2020 £66,912

pandemic began to dominate ihe decision making. aclii ities and very survival of organicAR TS.
As a team of INslees, siaff and volunteers we had lo reacl to almost compleie closure of WLSt

much of our core tunding continued so ihal we were able lo make the decision not lo furlough

Business planning and budgeting were extremely di￿1¢￿11 as ihe impacts of Covid and

The indoor space in Ihe Grain Barn and Potlery was unable lo be used for much of the year and

Achievements and Performallee:
As in all other aspLcls of our live& 2020 will k remembered as the year Ihal the Covidlg
pandemic began to dominate ihe decision making. aclii ities and very survival of organicAR TS.
As a team of INslees, siaff and volunteers we had lo reacl to almost compleie closure of WLSt
Town Farm to visitors in March 2020 as the country enlered ihe first lockdown. Fortunately
much of our core tunding continued so ihal we were able lo make the decision not lo furlough
slatT. Activity on sile consisled largely of garden maintenance. wilh other staff working Irom
home and supporting garden i'olunieers and each oiher remoiely.
As lockdown ￿gan to be lifted in July we made the site safe for outdoor ￿'orkIng in small

and we managed io survive financially wilh no redundancies or furloughing of slaff, although
some self-employed members had reduced hou￿ and income.
We were able lo keep going during ihe so4alled circuil-breaker in late auwmn and even ended
the year with our Iradilional seasonal lunch wilh the Wesl Town Fami staff.
We delayed the AGM uniil September so we could welcome people in person. ouid(x)rs. but
also some online.
Business planning and budgeting were extremely di￿1¢￿11 as ihe impacts of Covid and
byovernment guidance kept changing - somrthing sel to conlinue beyond the end of 2020 with
another lockdown looming at the start of 2021.
The indoor space in Ihe Grain Barn and Potlery was unable lo be used for much of the year and
we LollLeniraied our building etTorts on providing a 5helier from Ihe elemen15 with solid tsbles
and b¢n¢h¢s in Ihc arca outside Ihe O￿l¢C. This ensured Ihal lunches. rneelings and creative
