1 ## **Annual Report 2021** ## **Summary of the Main Achievements of the Charity for the Year APRIL 2020 to MARCH 2021** - In the period from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021, we ran three volunteering sessions a week. The project took its usual winter break from Mid December to End January 2021 - We produced enough vegetables from our allotments to donate large sacks and crates of produce to food banks on 26 occasions this year. All donations were delivered to the Brighton Food Bank operated by the Brighton & Hove City Mission, and the Brighton Unemployed Families Centre. - We received donations of surplus food from other allotments on 13 occasions. - We began working in partnership with FareShare Brighton and Hove. We took on our third plot and grew vegetables for Fareshare who distribute and donate them to food banks using an eBike. - Over the year 124 people registered to volunteer at the plot. - We operated under Covid 19 pandemic restrictions throughout the year. We carried out risk assessments of our activities and adapted our working practices to enable us to continue operating and providing vegetables to our beneficiaries. - We were one of the few volunteer hosting organisations able to continue throughout the pandemic but we worked in smaller groups to maintain the safety of volunteers and people on neighbouring plots. We continued to receive plenty of volunteer support and offered a rare opportunity for people to get out of the house and socialise safely. 2 - We continued to work as part of Brighton and Hove Food Partnership and were part of the Brighton and Hove Emergency Food Distribution committee. - Project workers are Nick Blewitt, Gardening Supervisor and Kate Honeyford, administrator. - Trustees on the board are Drew Hardy, Chair, Victoria Benson, Treasurer and Julie Moase Kate Honeyford For Nurture Through Nature NURTURE THROUGH NATURE Charity Number: 1171526 Receipts and Payments Accounts For the Year Ended 31 March 2021 Sectlon A Recelpts and Payments Fund8 Funds Funds Fund8 Receipts Grants Donations Intem Funding 28,673 5.493 28,873 5,493 1,260 11,900 35.426 35.426 13,964 Asset and Investsnont Sal8• Tolal Rocelpts 35,426 13,964 6,270 6,270 8,000 4,455 9.500 1,172 1.072 173 51 F￿llitatOr Fees Tools and Equipment Seeds, Trees and Fertili Advert[￿ry and Promoti Postage arKI St*tonery Repairs and MaintenanL Rent Insuran Telephone arttl IT Costs Training First Aid Equipment Accourrtancy and Bcok Keeping Sundry Expon 1,812 1.812 309 383 155 389 522 155 459 97 185 24 350 120 81 81 20 20 18,214 18,214 17,867 Totsl Payments 18.214 18,214 17,867 Not of ReCeip￿(payM&nts) 17.212 17.212 3,903 Transfor8 8otWo•n Funds Ca8h Funds Last Y•ar End 7,&85 11.768 Cash Funds Thls Year End 25.077 25.077 7.865 NURTURE THROUGH NATURE Charity Number: 1171526 Receipts and Payments Accounts For the Year Ended 31 March 2021 Sectlon B Staternnt of Assets and Llabillllgs as at 31 March 2021 Funds Funds Ca¥h Fund¥ TTeasurws Ac¢oLmt 1 TreasuTWS Ag)Junt 2 19,485 Total Caoh Fund• Oth•r Monètary A¥8ets Current Value Sh￿s Polytunnel Communty Hut 1.353 518 Unr*trid&J 518 Fund5 to whi liat4lrty rdaie8 DL Uabllltio* Signed by or ￿0tn￿ ￿ b￿01 all the nature Print Name Dale ofAr¥Jroval i[IicJ21 Independent Examiner's Report on the Accounts Report to the trustees of Nurture Through Nature on accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021, set out on pages l and 2.
