Structure Governance and Management

This is the sixth Annual Report and Accounts produced for Pilgrims Christian Community Farm (Registered Charity no. 1164700) following the registration of Pilgrims Christian Community Farm to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).

Governing Document

Pilgrims Christian Community Farm operates under a constitution.

Appointment, Induction and training of trustees

Appointment, induction and training of trustees under the terms of the Constitution not more than twelve or less than three trustees are required to serve.

The overall balance of skills of the existing trustee body is taken into consideration when looking to appoint new trustees to ensure that a wide range of interests, professional, equine, mental health and social care expertise is available.

Organisation

The trustees are collectively responsible for the strategy and good governance of the charity and usually meet on a monthly basis and at least quarterly, although with the pausing of activities during the year fewer trustees meetings have been necessary. The trustees delegate the management and day-today operation of the charity, within set policies, to the Chairman.

During the financial period 2021/22, one full meetings of trustees took place. Trustees are kept informed between formal meetings on relevant matters relating to grants, the welfare of horses, arrangements with the landowner and clients.

Objectives and activities

Our objectives are to relieve persons suffering from any form of mental illness and to provide recreational facilities for them with the object of improving their conditions of life and befriending them through the provision of a community farm based on Christian principles.

We have offered sessions with horses and other small animals in a beautiful and peaceful location near Leamington Spa and our beneficiaries have been able to help to care for the animals and take part in therapeutic activities with the horses based on equine facilitated learning techniques. However with the pausing of activities this has not been possible during this year.

Achievements and Performance

Pilgrims On Pause

November 2020 saw Pilgrims on hold because of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Trustees and volunteers. Unfortunately, at the close of this financial year in October 2021, the Trustees are still not in a position to be able to start offering sessions again. We

very much hope that we will be able to set up a new programme but it is not possible to do so in the foreseeable future.

Finances

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

~ select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

~ make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

~ state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

~ prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Notes relating to finances for 2021-22

• There has been almost no financial activity during 21-22, the only items at all being too receipts from Easy Fundraising, relating to purchases of retail goods that sponsors have made through Easy Fundraising; and a small interest payment.

• Financially, Pilgrims is now in stasis, with no income or costs, and with healthy general and reserve funds. This will enable Pilgrims to either resume or wind-up it’s activities at a future date when the charity’s future becomes clearer.
