Since 1st July 2000, the cafe and refreshments kiosk on sile are leased by the Charity to a third party operator. In
September 202J, the Chocolate Tower Kiosk Company took over the lease from our previous tenant Quirky Tea Rooms,

The lease be￿'een the Charity and Chocolate Tower Kiosk is for a maximum period of flve years with a break clause for
the tenant after three years.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial reTr'iew
Financial position
The financial perfomance of the Charity has overall been good through the financial period. Savings have been made
through the reduction in staifing for the Gardening and Park Maintenance, but these savings have been offset by the drop
in revenue due to the closure of the EcoPod Community centre. Cafe revenues have been achieved in line with forecast.
The Community activities we have delivered have been supported by a grant from Ernest Cook Trust that contributes
towards the core costs of our education and community team Salaries. In addition M'e have secured a number of specific
grants to deliver a wide range of social activities to bring people in the community together for their health and
wellbeing.
Fund balances
The financial year ended ￿'1th total funds available to be carried fornard of £573,157. These funds consist of £409,929
of restricted funds and unrestricted funds of £163,228, which form the reserve5 for the Charity as it moves forward.
Financial perforniance
The charity is split into three departments, Cafe. Park & Maintenance and Education.
Café
The cafe building was let out to Quirky Tea Rooms in July 2020 on a 5-5ear lease. This guarantees the charity a set level
of rental income each nionth which covers our general overheads and contributes to￿..ardS the maintenance of the park.
The lease was taken over by the Chocolate To￿.er Kiosk company on original terms: m-.ith an intent to extend the lease by
mutual agreement following some cafe modifications in the winler of 2024125.
Annual rent for the cafe £25,000 per annum frotn 2nd July 2022, T15ing to £26.500 per annum from 2nd July 2023, paid
monthly.
Park & Maintenance
The Park & Maintenance department, which supports the on-going maintenance and revenue costs associated with the
provision of recreational and park facilities. has maintained ils financial perfonnance in the period.
In response to rising emplo}'ment and utilitv costs, as of April 202J. The Charitv has moved from a full time role to an
annualised contracting approach for the post of Gardener and Grounds Mainienance in order to reduce overall costs of
employment and io better reflect ihe seasonal nature of the role. This role is then supplemented by a seasonal
maintenance role for 12thours a week, running from May through September to support the busy summer period.
The cafe rental income now covers the salary of our park maintenance staff and: together with unrestricted income from
community and education events. also provides financial income tow.ards insurance and utility Costs.
We have been 5ucce55ful in securing
rant tunding toTh'ards capital maintenance and repair costs for projects acr055 the
park and we have continued to be supported by Fylde Borough Council throughout the period.
Education & EcoPod Hire
The level of revenue that the Charity has been able 10 generate through delivery of Communi￿. Education programmes
and/or hire of the EcoPod has been significantly impacied this year as a result of the EcoPod being declared structurally
unsound as a result of significant water damaue. in turn due to a number of faults M"'ith the building design and build. The
Trustees took the decision to stop all use of the building in June 2023 folloiving independent surveys.
The Education team have continued to provide a reduced level of activities outside in the park and have also increased
beach school provision in partnership M'ith the Lancashire Wildlife Trust's F)'Ide Sand Dunes project. Rental hire
revenue of the EcoPod has been impacted as we are not able to accommodate external groups whilst the building is out
of use.
It Is estimated that the lack of the building ha5 resulted in a loss ol income of circa £15k.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
ror the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2024
STRATEGIC REPORT
The salaries of the education team have been supported throuohoul the period from a Soroptimists grant received along
with additional grants and ihe revenue received from community and educaiional programmes.
Principal funding sources
The Charity's main income in the reporting period have been provided by:
- Outdoor Leaming Officer funded by the Ernest Cook Tn]st
Donation from L￿haM Probus & St. Annes Probus
Donation from Croft's Ne￿'sagents
Donation from Park View 4U Run Group - Five for Clive
Fundraising and donation from L￿haM Festival
Nicola and David Thompson Open Garden Event for a wheelchair friendly roundabout
"Wood Club" funded by The Marsden Buildin- Society Charitable Foundation
Education team salaries from Speak Up for Women (Charity arni of the International Soroptimists of the Fylde)
Live Like Ralph for Repairs for the Park Vie￿. Skate Park

Lytham Round Table for garden maintenance equipmenl
Income from Tenant for the on-site Calé and Kiosk.
Income as a result of charges made to individuals or organisations who access our educational programmes and
activities.
This income is supplemented by fundraising events and donations fmm individuals, organisations and partners.
Principal risks and uneertainties
The Ley strategic issue that (he Charity is facing relales to the critical condition of the EcoPod Community centre that
means that the Charity had to stop ihe use of the building in June 2023, follo￿.ing a number of structural surveys.
Unfortunately, as the company that built the EcoPod have since gone into liquidation, there is not a mechanism by which
the Charity is able to seek compensation to repair the building and the independent advice we have received
recommends that the existing building is demolished and replaced M'ith a new building.
This is a significant and unforeseen financial impact on the Charity - the building is the central hub from which our
community and education services operaie and the revenue from these and the rental of the building for wider
community groups are key to the susthinabilily of the Charilv.
The Chariti, is actively seeking grants in order to raise the funds required to replace the EcoPod estimated to be in the
order of £300k and have agreement in principal that Fylde Council will provide a capiLqI grant to match funding that we
are able to raise.
Future plans
Looking ahead, the key challenge for the Chartty Trustees are focused on the fundraising to enable replacelnent of the
EcoPod Community Centre in order to restore the central hub for the delivery of our Charitable activities and reestablish
the revenue from these, along with rental revenue of the EcoPod to suppon Ihe long terni sustainability of the Charity.
We will continue the development and impletnentation ol the master plan for the park, in conjunction with Fvlde
Borough Council, that sets out the programme of required maintenance, equipment replacement and planned
improvements in order to better plan financially for these.
We Th'ill strive to continue to deliver our wide range of activities that we believe offer best benefit to the general public,
in line with our charitable objectives, either by ourselves or with our growing number of community partners.

walued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities that qualify as basic financial instruments. These are initially

Judgements and estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimate5 and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported in
the statement of financial ac(ivities during the s'ear. HoM'.ever. the nature of estimation meai)s that actual
outcomes could differ from those estimates. Accruals, Depreciation and Investment property fair value have had
the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. See the notes to the account5 for the
carrying amounts of these estimates.

rebuilt salvaging whatever items was possible such as the Thindows. A £4,000 decking grant was received last
