|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|_Para 1.20_|**_Membership:_**
In summary there were 309 members at
the meeting date of which 190 are full
members, 33 are partner members, 18
country members, 3 junior members &
finally 65 local members The aim of
membership secretary is to be
organised in the processing of membership
applications and renewals, fully optimising
the ER2 data programme.
**_Events:_**
Our Winter speakers’ program had a good
turn out. We have had some great
speakers since returning to the f2f
meetings with Clare McGettigan, Pete
Sutcliffe and the acclaimed Gerry Collins
talk to us about 'hive problems and their
solutions'.
Few monthly meetings took place via
'zoom' with some very interesting speakers;
notably John Canning and Ivor Flatman-
with a final and lasting return to f2f
meetings in May with the fascinating Peter
Lewis talking to us about 'Honey quality' in
the venue of the Wesley Hall Community
Centre.
This venue seems to tick a good few
boxes: 'Covid safe' (ie large room; opening
windows; flexible seating) a kitchen to
provide refreshments and good acoustics
and technical facilities.
We are conscious that the overall 'ideal'
venue is difficult to find but hopefully SBKA
is in agreement that the Wesley hall feels
very suitable and welcoming for our needs
at the moment.
Although covid still required consideration,
there were still some events this year.
These included the Honey Show held at
Hector’s House, JG Graves Centre on 21st
August combined with a picnic in the
woods. The excellent judge Peter Lewis
judged our wares & was impressed by
some of our displays. Well done to all who
participated & were successful.|
_**Training & Exams:**_ a. Beginners’ Course – 40 students were enrolled on the main, 10-session course. b. Regional Courses There were no regional courses held this year. c. Exams Basic assessment took place. _**Awards:**_ Basic assessment: Rachel Deakin Honey show prizes: Best in Show – Tony Lane with Peach mead Sweet mead – Bronwen White Dry Mead – Tony Lane Best honey cake – Olga Lane Cake of wax – Olga Lane Novice prize – Peter Jackson _**Activities with schools & the public:**_ a. Hands-on sessions at Ecclesall Woods & Rivelin Valley Allotment. b. Demonstration on oxalic acid vapourisation to treat varroa. _**Bee breeding:**_ 19 colonies provided to members with local stock _**Social Events:**_ Xmas Quiz. _**Apiaries:**_ a. Sawmill Apiary came through the winter very healthy & strong. It continues to be manned by a very enthusiastic & dedicated team. It is a credit to them that their honey is so delicious with the exceptional choice this year of blossom / heather honey mixes. b. Fulwood apiary sadly had to be closed due to the ill health of the host. c. Our Rivelin apiary sadly is in need of a boost. Whilst we took 6 colonies into winter, we lost 2 due to isolation starvation. Donations of 3 colonies have increased number to 7. Despite these setbacks we managed a honey crop of 38kg. The site has been upgraded by the addition of a toilet, repair of the dry-stone wall (thanks to Paul French) & some clearing of rubbish etc. _**Bulk Purchase Scheme:**_ We have had trouble maintaining stock of equipment as our suppliers have been unable to source stock. Having said that we now have stock of most things we need if
not the usual range or choice. Prices are increasing throughout the year, and we try very hard to keep our prices low for the benefit of members. We do not aim to make a profit, but we do add a small mark up to cover rent, running costs and delivery charges. No one involved is paid or receives any form of discount. _**Long Term Plans:**_ a. Still exploring ideas to purchase or lease a field for the teaching apiary b. Our plans for decking out the Sawmill apiary have been delayed due to matters outside our control, but we are hopeful that this will still go ahead. c. We are also hopeful that our facilities at the Sawmill apiary can be improved and enlarged. _**Swarm Collectors:**_ 21 members on team were kept busy collecting plenty of swarms. As usual there were some interesting locations to which our collectors were called, some unreachable or inaccessible within building structures. _**Helpers:**_ a. Trainers – Jeff Dale, Sharron Henderson, Phil Khorassandjian, Roger Lyons, Robert Jemilianowicz, Bron White b. Apiary teams – Dorothy Birks, Paul Durkin, Sharron Henderson, Roger Lyons, , Peter Minchin, Peter O’Callaghan, Ian Smith, Steve Taylor, Elinor Turner c. All of the many Rivelin apiary volunteers. Especial thanks to regular helpers, Paul French, Pete O' Callaghan, Paul Durkin, Peter Minchin, Roger Lyons, Elinor Turner, Sarah Romanowski. e. Association shop – Roger Lyons & Jeff Dale d. Equipment loan and coordination: Peter Minchin e. Bee breeding programme: Dillon Butters, Neville Dearden & Bronwen White g. Library: Andrzej Kurpiel.

|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The Trustees have considered the reserves
required, with reference to the guidance
published by the Charity Commission. The
Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in
unrestricted funds at a level which equates
to
approximately
three
months
of
unrestricted charitable expenditure. The
trustees consider that this level will provide
sufficient
funds
to
respond
to
the
Association’s risk register, its obligations
and ensure that support and governance
costs are covered.
The balance held as unrestricted funds at 31
August 2022 was £80,072, which is
regarded as free reserves. The Committee
agreed that the most appropriate level of
reserves should be kept at the level of
£3,000.
The current level of reserves is therefore
higher than is needed and the trustees
agreed that excess of free reserves will be
transferred to designated fund – HQ Fund.
The trustees consider this fund to be
primarily an investment fund held to
generate income and aim to ensure the
stability of the set charitable objectives of the
association.|

## **Trustees Report and Accounts for the year ended: 31[st] August 2022**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Report to the Trustees/ members of Sheffield Beekeepers’ Association (CIO)**
On the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2022
## **Overview**
## **Unrestricted income**
The results for the year and financial position are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. Total incoming resources £46,904 (2020/21: £38,187). Resources expended were £34,778 (2020/21: £24,249). The surplus for this year was £12,126 (2020/21: £13,938).
## **Restricted income**
The Association didn’t receive any restricted grant income in 2021/22.
## **Expenditure**
Total expenditure reached £34,778 (2020/21: £24,249). The Association spent £29,311 (2020/21: £19,452) on the charitable activities such as provision of lectures and teaching apiary, and £5,467 (2020/21: £4,797) on raising funds such as membership capitation payments. The Association made good progress in achieving the goals for the year despite the global pandemic.
## **Going concern**
The Trustees have reviewed the SBKA’s financial position and consequently believe there are sufficient resources to manage any foreseeable operational or financial risks. The Trustees therefore consider that there is a reasonable expectation that SBKA has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
For this reason, the Trustees are happy to adopt the ‘going concern’ basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees have considered the reserves required, with reference to the guidance published by the Charity Commission. The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to the Association’s risk register, its obligations and ensure that support and governance costs are covered
2
The balance held as unrestricted funds at 31 August 2022 was £82,072, which is regarded as free reserves. The Committee agreed that the most appropriate level of reserves should be kept at the level of £3,000.
The current level of reserves is therefore higher than is needed and the trustees agreed that excess of free reserves will be transferred to designated fund – HQ Fund. The trustees consider this fund to be primarily an investment fund held to generate income and aim to ensure the stability of the set charitable objectives of the association.

**Trustees Report and Accounts for the year ended: 31[st] August 2022 FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Independent Examiner’s report on the accounts**
## **Report to the Trustees/ members of Sheffield Beekeepers’ Association (CIO)**
## On the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2022
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to: • examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act, have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
