MASTIN MOOR GARDENS AND ALLOTMENTS CIO (REG 1172292)
REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR PERIOD ENDING MARCH 31st 2025
Treasurers Report
The previous treasurer stepped down in the summer of 2024. His commitment and expertise over 2 decades will be sorely missed. As will his desire to move the gardens forward to better things.
The container we obtained, for the now abandoned cafe idea, is an ongoing project. It has been in use for community events. Thanks to tables and chairs that came as part of the funding. There was also funding for a 2Kw power station and portable solar panels. With the intension of having lighting and running a fridge. Unfortunately over the winter. The sink tap split and we had a flood in the container, which needed prompt action to resolve. A new tap was fitted and a large water bill ensued.
The allotments continued to be fully let. Despite the necessity to raise the fees this year.
The gardens are maintained by plot holders and volunteers. Without whom we would not manage. An old composting area has seen an improvement as a result and the cleaning up of the paths around the gardens.
A new ride on mower was purchased and the old one sold. Resulting in a £1000 cost to ourselves. The old one had never been suitable for our needs and needed a new belt before being sold. 2 Makitas strimmers(Petrol) were also purchased at a cost of £480. Essential for site maintenance around the orchard and trees.
Valencia Waste management provided the funding for the container. As well as the tables and chairs. And also the power station and solar panels. There was also a donation of £1000.22 from the Co-op.
Overall our bank balance has remained static and healthy. But as the anticipated expansion of our site is still under discussion with Derbyshire Property Group. Future expenses cannot be predicted.
