FRIENDS OF ABBEY GARDENS

(Charitable Incorporated Organisation) TRUSTEES' REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31.12.24

CIO number:1158147

Friends of Abbey Gardens Financial year ending 31 December 2024

Trustees' report

CIO number 1158147

Charity Objectives:

To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of Newham, London and the surrounding area, the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity, or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interest of social welfare and with the object of improving the condition of life of the local community.

Executive Summary

A busy and productive year in the gardens. 2024 saw a significant amount of awarded grants and projects run over the year. The two most significant being the People Powered Places Project ‘Grow Green E15’ and Newham Heritage Fund. Both of these projects enabled us to have project managers working on the team from Sprint to Autumn which meant we were able to maintain a strong presence on site and welcome new people into the gardens. Both projects enabled us to widen our networks and enhance our event and workshop capabilities, all while learning what the community would like to see and do within the space.

Once again we are proud of the achievements of a small and passionate team within the gardens, and seeing how appreciated the space is by locals and those wandering by, providing a space of calm and connection.

Summary of main activities

The following events and activities addressed our charitable aims in 2024

People Powered Places, ‘Grow Green E15’

A program of activities across the summer funded by Newham’s participatory funding program ‘People Powered Places’. We delivered weekly gardening workshops, fitness and wellbeing sessions, and seasonal community events. Highlights were Bee Day and Apple Day, the most well attended events. The regular gardening sessions allowed a consistent group to maintain and improve the gardens over the season.

Gardening sessions and Apple Day

Fibre Festival

We were pleased with the engagement and participation in the gardens across the program. Bringing together all aspects of our garden community, in both smaller groups productive in the garden, and larger celebrations that brought people together in the gardens.

Newham Heritage Month: The Great Gate

We celebrated Newham Heritage month with the Great Gate Midsummer Festival. This project welcomed new volunteers to the garden, and allowed us to more deeply research and share the history of the site. The local school, Ranelagh Primary, created a beautiful stock motion history of the gardens.

Friends of Abbey Gardens asked artists Rebecca Wilson and Virgina O’Dwyer to run an animation workshop with Year 5 pupils at Ranelagh Primary school for Newham Heritage Month.

This stop-motion animation shows how the artists got the young animators to dive into the history of the nearby Stratford Langthorne Abbey, connecting the children to their local area through history. They learned how archeologists discovered remains of monks, the layout of the abbey buildings and why the abbey got buried

for so many years and what clues are in the landscape today.

The young animators thought about how the medieval monks would have been able to read, have knowledge of medicinal plants and growing vegetables, keep animals and most importantly bees for making candle wax, before electricity. They found out that the monks would have helped the people who lived around the abbey. Today Friends of Abbey Gardens is a voluntary community garden, connecting local people to biodiversity, growing and helping each other. Many of the young animators had never heard of Abbey Gardens and now they (and you!) can visit for free, attend gardening, yoga and bee-keeping events.

Friends of Abbey Gardens volunteers, Esmerelda and Rosie, visited Fr Joseph, Abbott of Saint Bernard Monastery in Leicester as part

They recorded an oral history with the Abbott and visited the site of the 600 reburied monks’ remains in the gardens for the Great Gate Project for Newham Heritage Month.

Dialogue of Space Festival

We came together for day of togethering, listening and musiking at Abbey Gardens E15. Celebrating the installation of Limpe Fuchs’ serpentinite stone row - a musical instrument made of granite plates - at Abbey Gardens.

A new greenhouse

During the summer we improved the garden space by adding a new greenhouse for seeding. A special thanks to everyone who had a part to play in designing, building, ground levelling and funding enough!

Financial review

This year the charity significantly increased its activity levels through the People Powered Places and Newham Heritage Fund grants, alongside growth in CSR days that generated sufficient income to support investment in the gardens. This has built reserves to sustain operations through 2025, enabling continued development and investment in the gardens for the next 12 months without dependency on grant funding.

Going forward, we will maintain our focus on grant applications whilst expanding CSR days to create sustainable income streams. Overheads remain low, with garden maintenance primarily delivered by volunteers and additional expenditure focused on improvements rather than essential maintenance. Our low fixed costs enable us to sustain the space during periods of reduced income. The main expenditure in 2024 was for a project manager funded through specific grants—a cost that will not carry forward into 2025.

We are confident the organisation is in a strong financial position to continue delivering on its objectives. Drawing on lessons from projects delivered in 2024, we will pursue a strategy that ensures the gardens continue to provide a place of sanctuary and wellbeing for the local community whilst maximising the impact of new initiatives
