## **5. Object and Main Activity**
Under its governing document the objects of the trust are to relieve sickness and protect mental health through the provision of therapeutic horticulture. This is mainly done through the site at the garden of The Well Church in Whitley, Reading,
## **Overview of 24 – 5 activities;**
During this period we made new contacts within local agencies, including mental health referring organisations. We have continued and expanded our work with the nutritionist and courses and advice on healthy eating have proved popular with clients. The number of clients attending the garden has increased and increasing numbers have moved-on to new ventures.
## Strategy meeting
Garden supervisors and trustees held a Saturday morning Away-Day meeting to review our current position and agree an outline strategy for the next three years.
## New Garden Building:
Thanks to grant funding, we were able to build a garden room. This now provides office space for garden supervisors and clients, and in particular, it offers an inside space where clients can work on indoor craft-based projects during the colder winter months.
## **6. Policies:**
Trustees are confident that we have all appropriate policies and these are reviewed annually. In view of the nature of the service we provide, the Safeguarding policy is regularly reviewed and updated.
## **7. Financial Review**
For the period ended 30th April 2023 trustees continued to balance need against financial resources and the raising of funds to sustain our service continued to be a high priority. General cost increases, particularly staff costs, have caused us to examine our expenditure budget for savings and efficiencies, although there is little to save.
## **8. Risk Assessment**
Grants from grant-making trusts and organisations form a major part of our annual income. The trustees consider that the greatest risk to the charity’s continued operation is that the availability of grant income is reduced. Should income decrease substantially the charity would have to reduce the level of its activities and services.
The trustees consider that existing internal controls provide reasonable assurance regarding the risk of losses arising from dishonest activities or negligence on the part of officers or trustees.
## **9. Reserves Policy**
The charity’s reserve policy sets a designated fund of £12,000, approximately 4 months running costs, to help ensure the sustainability of our service. Trustees also recommended that any
agreement to significant capital developments should occur only rf nine months free reserves are
held, or specific designated funds are obtained.
10. Use of volunteers
As a srnall charity, volunteers make a valuable contribution towards the service that we
offer. Whilst volunteer roles occur across the charity, the most frequent is for work in the
garden. either in direct support of clients or in ensuring that the site is safe and welcoming
