## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
The trustees have the pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
To promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the residents Hurst Farm estate and surrounding areas. In particular the advancement of education, the promotion of health, the relief of poverty, the promotion of public safety and the prevention of crime.
## **SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO THESE OBJECTS**
In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustees meetings.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
The Farmers Larder (The Pantry) is still working hard to provide affordable food for the immediate, and wider community from our room in the Farmers View (Hurst Farm Social Club CIC). This is a non-profit project which we hope to build on further.
Volunteering opportunities have been provided for many residents, members of the community along with visitors from the Golden Grange centre for people with additional needs. This has resulted in some residents obtaining work.
We have worked hard to provide youth and family support at this difficult time such as Holiday Activities Fund sessions for young people in the school holidays. A warm room was opened to provide a warm and welcoming space where people could visit to reduce their personal gas usage and relief the pressure of the cost of living crisis.
The Friends of Hurst Farm has continued to work in partnership with “Heritage Trail” to ensure that projects are ready to be delivered between 2023 & 2025.
We continue to provide free Parent & Toddler sessions to families on the estate which are led by an experienced childcare worker.
The charity has started a weekly coffee and bacon butty morning to reduce isolation & build support between people on the estate. This is funded through donations and has regular attendees.
The charity has continued to support older people's activities including Golden Club. This again helps to eliminate the feeling of isolation. We will also be organising a Christmas meal for older members of the community.
