## Trustees' Annual Report Apr 2022 – Mar 2023
## Objects of the Charity
1. To promote for the benefit of the public the conservation protection and improvement of the conservation protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment of the woodlands and surrounding area of Uddens & Cannon Hill Plantations.
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
This year due to additional availability of task leader during the week, we were able to run additional volunteer task days, far exceeding pre-pandemic totals.
146 volunteers completed 876 hours of work over 29 recorded volunteer task days.
Once again we were able to run some joint sessions, twice with the Dorset Council Rights of Way volunteers and once with the district finance team from Forestry England.
As in previous years tasks included maintaining the tumuli heritage features, managing invasive Himalayan balsam, Rhododendron & Bracken, restoring picnic benches and progressing our heathland restoration project on Elford Heath.
Work commenced on a project to make the dog splash area in Cannon Hill North safer to use and a more permanent structure.
By the end of the winter, significant progress was made on the final section of Elford Heath, our heathland restoration site.
We hope to have the initial work on this site completed this coming winter and two benches installed during the summer.
## Income and Expenditure
## Opening balance - £3,883
This year we have been very successful with grant applications resulting in an incredible £10,780 of our £12,423 income.
Grants came from Arnold Clarke, Colehill Parish Council, Talbot Village Trust, The Conservation Volunteers, Waitrose and Partners in Parkstone and Wessex Water.
Projects supported include Elford Heath restoration, Additional storage facility, Fire fighting water bowser and our Dog splash pool.
Closing balance was £9,135 (the majority of this balance is funds restricted to the above projects).
## AGM & Trustees
The AGM was held on Wed 15[th] June 2022 at Highmead Farm.
A presentation celebrating 10 years of the friends was given by Andy Hartstone.
It was agreed that at this meeting all existing trustees would stand for re-election due to the break in AGMs caused by the pandemic.
All four trustees stood again and were unanimously re-elected.
Current Trustees -
Mr Andy Hartstone, Mrs Jean Loader, Mr Jeffery Maple, Mr Scott Whibley (Chair)
