## **STREAM WALK TRUST** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

The Trustees present their report and examined financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK published on 16 July 2014, as amended by bulletin 1. 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

Please see impact report 

## **Charitable objectives for public benefit** 

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. 

The trustees understand and are fully committed to managing the garden for the benefit of the public in line with the Charity Commission guidance. 

Contribution made by volunteers: We have significantly increased our regular volunteer base and roster of support which has enabled us to confidently offer a markedly increased level of events and activities. 

## **Achievements and Performance in the Year** 

Please see impact report 

## **Financial review** 

Income for the year amounted to £34,245 (2024: £52,506) and expenditure for the year amounted to £32,768 (2024: £35,814). This resulted in a surplus of £1,477  (2024: surplus of £16,693). 

## **Reserves policy** 

In accordance with the Charity Commission guidance, the Trustees review on a regular basis the level of income reserves that it considers appropriate. At 31 March 2025, the Trustees consider it appropriate to aim to hold unrestricted reserves equivalent to two months' running costs which is in the region of £6,000 (2024: £6,000). The unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2025 amounted to £20,622 (2024: £8,328). 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces, and confirm that systems have been established to enable the charity to lessen or mitigate those risks. The key risk to the organisation is the sustained, challenging funding environment facing the charity sector. 

## **Plans for the future** 

Our future plans include extending our reach to include yet more members of the community. This includes running more courses, workshops, events and open days. We want to place particular focus upon children and families, so that participants are exposed to sustainable horticulture in tune with nature at a young age. We are seeking permission to build an eco-cabin which will give us a sheltered space for workshops and gatherings during inclement weather.

## **STREAM WALK TRUST** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S  REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Stream Walk Trust for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 28-33 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity Trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounts records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
