Community Gardens usually fail because the original founders have left the organisation, lack of interest once the exciting work of starting the garden has finished and lack of funding and volunteers. Our charity will provide professional help and mentoring over a period of time to ensure long term viability of Community and Leisure Garden projects. All of our projects will benefit the public, either as visitors or volunteers of the gardens we manage or those people who are in sheltered accommodation, short or long-term palliative care or just recovering from operations or illness.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)
The two pieces of land that were offered by the local housing association have not been agreed yet due to Covid restrictions.
The main garden has had little work done to it due to volunteers not being able to attend due to Covid restrictions. Instead, we have spent money on capital equipment that would have been spent in early 2021.
You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:
-
policy on grantmaking;
-
policy programme related investment;
-
contribution made by volunteers.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Community Gardens
We have used contractors during the winter of 2020 to build our sheds due to lack of volunteers due to Covid. This is the fourth year of our other three community gardens, all have been maintained by a ‘skeleton’ staff of volunteers who have been vaccinated.
The garden in the care home has been maintained by a local allotment site, allotments where exempt from some of the government Covid rules We continue to aid other not-for-profit community organisations in governance issues, policy issues and general management and organisational help. This was done via phone of Zoom.
