Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | This review is for the year ended 31stMarch 2021. During the entire period the garden was either closed or the numbers of volunteers severely limited due to Covid restrictions. This included the National Garden Scheme Open Day which in a normal year is one of the garden’s major fundraising events. The garden was included in the June 2021 NGS Open Day with considerable success both in terms of the number of visitors and the funds raised. The Children’s group, normally attended by between 5 and 25 families on a weekly basis, had to remain closed throughout the year because of the restrictions. This has been relaunched during 2021 and is again a thriving local resource with demand each week exceeding the garden’s current capacity. |
The Bodgers group met weekly when allowed to do by the restrictions. It was attended by an average of 15 regular people, many of whom are retired. The participants Beneffited from the social contact and learn natural wood working skills. The Bodgers is part of the Kent Sheds, a network of collaboration and support for Sheds projects across Kent. A spoon carving group has also been meeting weekly, attended by an average of 5 people. Finally, one of the casualties of the restrictions was the cancelling or postponement of our programme of workshops. It is planned to relaunch these workshops in 2022.
