2. For the benefit of the inhabitants of East Dorset, to provide or assist the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving their conditions of life for the inhabitants of the area of benefit in particular but not exclusively by the preservation, promotion, support, assistance and improvement of the woodlands and surrounding area of Uddens & Cannon Hill Plantations.
## Activities
As most other organisations we have been significantly impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Although as a charity we were exempt from the lock down rules, we were required to adhere to Forestry England guidelines for volunteering on land they manage.
April – July 2020 work parties were therefore cancelled.
We were able to resume in August with numbers attending capped to six and following all the relevant guidelines.
September and October events went ahead with slightly larger numbers before a further lock down curtailed all further volunteering between Nov 2020 and April 2021.
We were fortunate to have the support of the Dorset Council Eastern Area Rights of Way volunteers for two weeks in October where we were able to complete access work on the Castleman, making it easier for horse riders and mobility scooters to cross Uddens Drive.
The work parties that did go ahead allowed us to complete a small amount of Himalayan balsam pulling and heathland restoration work.
Smaller maintenance tasks also took place including the installation of a green oak memorial bench and ongoing maintenance of other benches and noticeboards.
Over the work parties that did take place, 45 volunteers completed 172 work hours.

## Income and Expenditure
Opening balance - £2,999
Income of £1,566 include £666 of donations from the Wimborne & Parkstone branches of Waitrose and Partners.
Other private donations accounted for £880 and £20 commission for online referrals.
We are incredibly grateful for these donations.
There were no grants applied for or received this year.
Expenses of £1095 included expenses of approx. £550 from 2019/2020 that had not been processed. For this reason, the cost of items such as group insurance are double this year.
Money was spent upgrading the tool / welfare trailer and repairing and expanding our tool selection.
Closing balance was £3,470
## Trustees
Our Chair Mrs Janet Healy retired from her role as chair and trustee. Janet was a founding member of the group and brought passion and phenomenal experience of planning and countryside matters.
Her eye for detail and ability to analyse reams of documents was vital to the success of the organisation, particularly in the early years.
We thank her for her significant contribution and wish her well for the future.
We were delighted that one of our long term supporters Mrs Jean Loader agreed to be coopted as a trustee. Jean has a wealth of local knowledge and is a regular user of Uddens Plantation.
She will stand for election formally at the next AGM.
We are actively looking for new trustees, particularly those that will increase the diversity of the team.
The remainder of the trustees remained unchanged.
Trustees -
Mr James Burbidge, Mrs Luanne Burbidge, Mr Andy Hartstone, Mrs Jean Loader, Mr Jeffery Maple, Mr Scott Whibley, Mrs Lin White (Chair)
