Objectives and activities

| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical, natural and historic environment of Sutton Mandeville and surrounding area; and to advance the education of the public in the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical, natural and historic environment. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
- Maintenance work on the badges during the year was intermittent and less than ideal. - We were able to hold two ‘Working Picnics’, where volunteers went up onto the hillside for maintenance work. In addition, individual volunteers went up on ad-hoc maintenance visits. - Due to lack of volunteers, the Trust did not attend the local events and festivals at which the Trust normally has a presence. - The website continued to be maintained and updated as necessary. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | In all of these activities, the Trust have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. |

Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | We continue to be in a maintenance phase and were able to organise two ‘Working Picnics’ and several individual visits to the badges for maintenance purposes. Unfortunately the weather was against us on several occasions, and maintenance visits had to be cancelled. No public events were attended. |

Financial review

| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | The current year’s accounts show an increase in the deficit recorded. If a Gift Aid application had been paid in the financial year, a surplus would have been recorded. Gift Aid recovery should be reflected in the 24/25 accounts. Donation income is by standing order (the majority) individual donations and via the sale of information booklets. Outgoings were on badge maintenance, insurance and website maintenance. Sufficient funds are held in the bank account to cover expected expenditure. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | The only funds currently available to the Trust are the result of charitable donations, and are held in the Trust’s sole bank account. No reserves policy is in place. |
