We established a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) in 2016. This annual report relates to the charity’s accounting year from 1st September 2021 to 31st August 2022. ## CONTENTS |**Our objectives and aims**|**Our objectives and aims**|**3**| |---|---|---| |**Review of 2021-22**||**4**| |**Thank-you to our volunteers**||**7**| |**Treasurer’s report**||**8**| |**Achievements and priorities**||**10**| |**Structure, governance and**||**14**| |**management**||| |**Financial statements**||**15**| |**Independent Examiner’s**||**22**| |**Report**||| 2 DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C7F39EF-EB8B-4DEB-BEF3-A44AC2F21C23 “The Friends of Ruskin Park is established to protect and promote the enjoyment of Ruskin Park (a public park situated on Denmark Hill in Camberwell, London) for the benefit, now and in the future, of all park users.” ## OUR OBJECTIVES AND AIMS 1. To work collaboratively with the park’s landlord, Lambeth Council, and its tenants, to help their management to as maximise all aspects of the quality of Ruskin Park, desired by park users and within available resources. 2. To engage park users and the wider community in maintaining and improving the park for their own health and wellbeing, for now and in the future, and balancing their different interests. 3. events and To run, sponsor or support (a) specific desired activities for and with park users and (b) capital projects for improvement of physical assets, that would not otherwise happen. 4.

We have welcomed new committee members and trustees to the Friends, and expanded some of our long-term programmes, thanks to new funding streams, new enthusiastic volunteers and commitment from our trustees. The dedicated senior parks attendant Tim Daniels, part of Lambeth Landscapes operations team in Lambeth Council, has continued to do an excellent job in maintaining and supporting the park in many different ways. With our volunteers, this makes the park feel cared for and loved. This has been particularly important throughout the exceptionally hot, dry spring and summer months, where we have had to prioritise ecological resilience. The park has continued to be enjoyed and appreciated by the surrounding community, including reaching new users through different events and activities that have taken place in the park. Income from events and donations means our general fund remains very healthy, and we are considering the best ways to reinvest this back into the park. 4 DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C7F39EF-EB8B-4DEB-BEF3-A44AC2F21C23 ## REVIEW OF 2021-22 (cont.) Volunteering in particular has gone from strength to strength: The Labyrinth Garden and the Community Garden now have a more diverse group of regular volunteers. Supported by Urban Canopy and Lambeth’s parks team and funded through successful funding bids, they have transformed areas of the park. Work has also continued on improving the Hut, including the reinstatement of the accessible toilet which is enabling the building and garden to be used more for community activities. The sense of care for these park spaces and the wider park is supported by our volunteer litter pickers, who are vital to the enhancement of the park environment. We are particularly proud that as a result of Lambeth’s parks team, our volunteers and partner organisations working together, Ruskin Park was awarded a London in Bloom Gold, building on our Silver and Silver Gilt awards in previous years. These areas can now be increasingly enjoyed thanks to increased momentum on our memorial bench scheme, which has seen several new benches installed throughout the park. At our last AGM, Kevin Crook, Assistant Director Neighbourhoods, confirmed that £950,000 had been allocated to a capital programme for Ruskin Park. A Capital Programme Steering Group was started, priority projects were agreed, guided by our joint strategic masterplan. Improvements were made to the paddling pool so it could open in the summer of 2022 and planning for a playground refurbishment started. The first year of working with Lambeth to deliver the programme has been challenging at times and we hope momentum will increase in 2022-3. 5 DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C7F39EF-EB8B-4DEB-BEF3-A44AC2F21C23 ## REVIEW OF 2021-22 (cont.) We have been pleased to be back in face to face contact with park users throughout this year, both within the park and at other community events. We look forward to doing more of this in the year to come, focusing more heavily on activity in the park and outreach to improve diversity and inclusion. We want this to build on our online and digital communications, where we continue to have significant reach and impact. Our online presence continues to expand with over 5,800 followers across our social media platforms, representing more than 30% audience growth over the past year. We have made progress against many of the objectives we set out for FoRP in the last annual report, but there is always more to do. Please see from page 10 the areas on which we intend to focus in the year ahead, depending as always on volunteer skills and capacity. As ever, we will also be open to new opportunities if they arise. **Chair** 6 DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C7F39EF-EB8B-4DEB-BEF3-A44AC2F21C23 ## **Thank-you to our contributors** ## **Volunteers** - Trustees - Committee members - Paddling pool group - Events teams and performers - Litter pickers - Gardeners - GoodGym volunteers - Lambeth Council staff volunteers ## **Funders, partners and donors** - Camberwell Society - GoodGym - Franey Foundation - Harkness Roses - Herne Hill Forum - Herne Hill Society - Lambeth Council - Lambeth Parks Forum - London Community Foundation - ● London Friends of Green Spaces Network “The work of Friends of Ruskin Park would not be possible without the commitment and passion of our trustees, volunteers and partners.” - Member donors - Myatt’s Fields Park Project - National Grid - National Lottery Community Fund - Paddling pool donors - Postcode Society Trust - South London and Maudsley NHS Trust - Steel Warriors - Urban Canopy - Urban Village 7 DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C7F39EF-EB8B-4DEB-BEF3-A44AC2F21C23 ## Treasurer’s Report As you will have seen throughout the annual report, FoRP has been very active this year and this is reflected in our financial results, with both income and expenditure significantly higher than the previous period. As ever, we are very grateful for the generous donations we receive from the users of the park and other supporters as well as to the bodies that have provided us with grants in the past year. |||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||2021/22||||2020/21| |||Unrestricted funds|Restricted funds||Total|Total| |||General fund|Grants fund|Paddling

In addition to this we received a grant from the Postcode Society Trust (which was awarded during 2021-22 but but will not be used until 2022-23 so has been held as deferred income) for gardening including the new Wellbeing Garden. 8 DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C7F39EF-EB8B-4DEB-BEF3-A44AC2F21C23 we will be able to fund more improvements in the park in coming years.” Treasurer’s Report (cont.) strong fundraising campaign through donations and grants, which led to nearly in £50,000 being raised for the refurbishment and running costs. The refurbishment has now been completed. We incurred slightly higher than expected running costs as due to hot weather conditions we paid for professional cleaning costs for the pool which was not anticipated. The general fund is unrestricted and is used to run events and other projects throughout the park over the year. The income and expenses relating to our normal programme of events were back after many of our usual events were interrupted in 2020-21 due to COVID. There was an in increase in donations largely due to donations made in memory of two individual park users. We have spent money from this fund in the year in a variety of ways, the largest being our contribution to the paddling pool refurbishment project (funded from paddling pool fund as well as a contribution from the general fund). Regular park users will hopefully have noticed the new memorial benches which come from donations and the new planting by volunteers paid for from our general fund as well as grant funding. **----- Start of picture text -----**

To consider how and whether we can continue to host the Petanque tournament. ## **Bandstand Concerts** Programme of summer music at the bandstand We were delighted to host a full and successful bandstand programme through the summer. To hold another bandstand programme in 2023, with a focus on a diversified range of performers, to reflect more of the local demography and attract new users to the park. ## **Other Heritage Items** Engaging park users with the varied heritage of the park looking at the past and the future. We extended and increased accessibility of the park’s heritage, most notably through supporting Lambeth’s completion of the Mendelssohn sundial restoration.

We have continued to invest the general fund and work to deliver modest improvements such as new planting and restoration of the rose garden, while holding Lambeth Council to account for delivery of projects they lead. We must continue this work, and to hold Lambeth Council to account for delivery, e.g. of new picnic tables. We will consider what small improvements can be delivered through the charity directly, including bench donations and other improvements such as new noticeboards. **Paddling pool** Fundraising to enable Lambeth to refurbish the pool and volunteering to keep the paddling pool operational. Partnership with Lambeth. We successfully secured funding, with Lambeth appointing a contractor to refurbish the paddling pool prior to summer 2022, and it was joyful to see so much use of the paddling pool over the summer. However there are some concerns about the operation of the new systems problems emerged at the end of the season. To work with Lambeth to ensure that any issues in works to the paddling pool are rectified, and ensure arrangements with contractors are in place, ready for a full summer of use in 2023. **Stable Block** Restore to bring the heritage stable block back into use, with clear community benefits. **Old Depot Area** This area is unused after the lease with Trees for Cities ended. A potential long term plan for its use is for a cafe. We continued to work with Lambeth Council to take forward the short-term repairs to the building, but these have not yet been made. We continued to work with Lambeth Council on ‘meanwhile’ use of this area. The longer term plans are not changed. The depot area has been cleared and the outer fencing is soon to be removed so part of the space will be opened up. We hope to hear from Lambeth Council about money available to refurbish the stable block in February 2023. We will continue to hold Lambeth Council to account for the much needed repair and protection of this important building. To continue to work with Lambeth Council to bring the depot area back into the park. 12 DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C7F39EF-EB8B-4DEB-BEF3-A44AC2F21C23 ## Achievements and priorities (4) ## **Working in Partnership with Lambeth Landscapes and others** Achievements last year Future Priorities ||Achievements last year|Achievements last year| |---|---|---| |**Partnership**|We regularly attended Lambeth

Accounting policies** accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) and in accordance with the FRS 102 itself and the Charities Act 2011. The Trustee’s have taken advantage of the exemptions permitted by SORP (FRS 102) and have not included a statement of cash flows for the year. ## **Income policy** Items of income are recognised and include in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met: - The charity has entitlement to the funds; - Any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity; - amount can be reliably measured. Donations, voluntary income and grants are recognised in the period they are received where the above conditions have been met (except for grants that specify that they can only be used in a future accounting period). ## **Volunteers** SORP (FRS 102) specifically excludes the inclusion of the value of the contributions of volunteers to the charity on the basis that there is no reliable method of measurement of their activities. As a result the value of services provided by volunteers is not included in the financial statements. The valuable contribution provided by the volunteers is discussed in more detail in the Trustees Report. 18 DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C7F39EF-EB8B-4DEB-BEF3-A44AC2F21C23 Photograph: Nick Dolding 2022 ## Notes (cont.) ## **Fund accounting** Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charities operations. ## **Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following headings: Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the operation of the Charity. These include both the direct and support costs relating to these activities. Other costs include those incurred in the governance of the Charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. VAT suffered is included within the relative expenses or asset and is not shown separately. ## **2. Legal status** The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and has no share capital. If the CIO is wound up, the members of the CIO have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for setting its debts and liabilities. The Charity was registered on 5 April 2016 under registration number 1166358. Accordingly the Charity is exempt from the Corporation Tax in respect to its charitable activities and any investment income receivable. 19 DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C7F39EF-EB8B-4DEB-BEF3-A44AC2F21C23 ## Notes (cont.) ## **3. Income** **Note** : *Groundwork - Power to Change grant relates to unspent funding that was repaid to the grant provider. ## **4. Expenses** **Note** : As the 2021 Fete was delayed and held in September 2021, there were two Fetes held within FY22. Pool expenses include a £54,000 contribution to the Paddling Pool refurbishment project undertaken in partnership with Lambeth Council and £1,080 in pool cleaning costs. 20 DocuSign Envelope ID: 2C7F39EF-EB8B-4DEB-BEF3-A44AC2F21C23 Photograph: Nick Dolding 2022 ## Notes (cont.) ## **5. Staff Costs** The Charity had no staff costs in the year and none of the trustees received any remuneration or benefits in kind for their work on the Charity. ## **5. Tax** The Charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. ## **5. Debtors** All amounts are accounts receivable and are expected to be recoverable. ## **8. Creditors** Deferred income relates to a Postcode Society Grant for £21,759 which was received during FY22 but will be used during FY23 and 2x benches which we have received donations for during FY22 but had not been built by Lambeth by the end of the FY22 period.

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility: - to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 1/31/2023 **----- Start of picture text -----**
