Financial review
Policy on reserves
Reserves shall be maintained at a level which ensures that Bulwell Forest Garden's core activities could continue
for a minimum of three monihs during a period of difficulty. The financial policy is reviewed on an annual
basis.
Achievements and performaDce
During the period, we supported 67 volunteers across the organsation, in food growing, conservation, event
delivery and cooking.
Overall, Ive provided i79 veg batss to volunteers free of charge. and sold 5)6 veg bags to the wider community
at an affordable price. Our produce is also used at our weekly Lunch Club. where we served 613 IMeals over the
period.
We hosted 8 family events, welcoming 1,712 people. and 5 adult nature based Workshops, welcoming 75
people.
We fa¢ilitaied i8 school visits. supwrting Eco topics and the national ¢urri¢ulum.
We also delivered 2 festivals
Outdoor Shakespeare, welcoming 200 people and our Winter Wonderland
festival, welcoming over 1,000 people.
Throughout these activities at BFG, we have received-.
121 reports of people feelin£ valued-
213 reports of improved social connections-
332 reports of improved well-being.
1,350 reports of improved diet in children visiting events-
554 reports of people leaming new skills.
In response to the successes across all our projects, Bulwell Forest Garden launched a Crowdfunding campaign
in May 2023 to raise money for an eco-garden room. allowing us to deliver activities "M,hatever the weather"
We were very huTnbled to receive £23,599 in donations. far exceeding our taruet of £15,000, with £12000 being
donated by members of our communit),. demonstrating the value of the commuv]ity garden to local people. We
received financial and practical support froTn Save Our Wild Isles during the CrO￿'dfunding campaign: as well as
grant funding from Award5 for All: bringing the total funds to £36,8fv1. We are T]ow receiving help from Barrett
Homes, J Mccann and Co and NCC sustainability team to design and build of the project, for which we are very
grateful.
We have protected our reserves due to income from school visits, venue hire and produce sales, enabling us to
independently fund our very popular Lunch Club and provide emergency funding if needed in the absence of
future grant tunding. Although we hope this not to be the case, we need to prepare for such eventualities,
following funding cuts from Nottingham city council: and the growing demand on national grant providers such
as the National Lottery and People's Health Trust.
We would like to thank Bestwood partnership, our local councillors. and NCC housing services for their
ongoing support, as well as our friends at one vision partnership, our social prescribing team: and our local
primary schools who we work closely with to ensure we respond to local needs.
Public benefil
lrnproved community cohesion (reducing isolation and increasing engagement across age and cultural barriers)-

The trustees confirm thai they have complied wilh Ihe requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 201 I to

l Accounting policie5
Sumtnary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been con51Stently applied to all the years presente(L unless otherwise stated.
Staten]ent of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities..
Statement of Recommended Praclice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Siandard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019)
(Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
Buliyell Forest Garden meets the definilion of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are
initially recognised at historical cost or trdnsaciion value unless otherwise ststed in the relevant accounting
policy notes.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material
uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to
continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date
of approval of the financial statements.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow slatelnent
Under the exemption available io smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement
of Cash Flows ithin the financial statements.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations. gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general
nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be
received and the amount can be measured with s￿￿1¢ient reliability-
Donalion5 and legocies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date.
In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of perfomance by the charity before the
charity is entiiled to the funds. the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully
met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charlty and it is probable that these
conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and an>, conditions linked to the grants
have been met. Where perfonnance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is
recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Page 8

Buhvell Forest Garden
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 January 2024
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable
settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable
expenditure heading that a￿gregate similar costs to ihat category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to
particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff
costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Other support costs are allocated based on ihe spread of staff costs.
Charitable activilies
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services
for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an
indirect nature necessary to support them.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual tnodel and are measured at the fair value of the a55et
received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue
are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are
recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is
r¢cognis¢d as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and
therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the
charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories
covered by Chapter ) Part I l of the Corporation Tax Act 201 O or Sectioii 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable
Gains Act 1992, 10 the extent thai such income or gains are applied exclusively to chariiable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated
depreclation and subsequent accumulated impainnent losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to WTite off the cost or valuation, less any estimated
residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows=
Furniture l O % on a straight line basis.
Equipment 20 % on a straight line basis.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services perfonned in the ordinary
course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method. less provision lor impairnient. A provision for the impaimient of trade
debtors is established ￿'hen there is objective evidevjce that the charity will not be able to collect all amouv]ts due
according to the original terms of the receivable5.

investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of
change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not haTre an
unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period. to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve
months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months
after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilitie5.

the objective5 of the charity.

restricted to that area or purpose.
