Objectives and Activities of the Society

The Society’s objectives are to advance public education in botany, horticulture, ecology and environmental science at Ventnor Botanic Garden, and in furtherance of the objects in particular but not exclusively by:

Achievements and Performance

In 2021 - 2022 Ventnor Botanic Garden Friends’ Society carried out activities as follows:

From October 2021 to September 2022 the Ventnor Botanic Garden Friends’ Society continued to support the Garden even though, with no prospect of restoration of the Gift Aid programme, our income remains much reduced. We make a large donation to VBG CIC to cover the cost of the part-time employment of a skilled trainer/mentor to facilitate the support of Volunteers within the Garden, and who contributes to the work of the Garden in many other ways. The Friends’ Society also allocates funds for the purchase of trees and shrubs when appropriate applications are received, which this year included an unusual hybrid palm tree planted to celebrate the 50[th] anniversary of the Garden.

Friends’ activities continue to support and encourage retention of the Garden volunteers.

Additional activities, which are part of our educational objects, are organised for the benefit of members and are also open to members of the public. They were still subject to Covid restrictions at the beginning of the period, but we were able to hold an exhibition of botanical paintings in October and, from May 2022, were able to recommence Botany Club walks, which continued throughout the summer.

An outing to RHS Wisley was organised in June and we were finally able to plan for our annual Café Botanique lecture cycle which recommenced in September 2022. A new initiative this year saw a task force of Members come to the aid of Ventnor Town Council by taking over the tidying and ongoing maintenance of flower beds at the entrance to their Council office building. This enhances the public’s enjoyment of that area and also serves to raise awareness of The Friends and of Ventnor Botanic Garden.

Fund raising activities included several plant sales, soup lunches and donations at walks and talks. We are very grateful for the large input of time by all those Members that makes these events possible.

Two issues of Ventnorensis , our highly-valued colourful and informative magazine for members, were produced. Our website continues to be a promotional tool for events, along with regular e-mails for members.

Consideration of the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) has been reviewed to ensure compliance and a review of Governance has commenced.

· the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
· the monetary value can be measured with sufcient reliability.
There has been no ofsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specifed goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been
grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufcient assets in the
estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
Tax reclaims on
donations and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specifed otherwise.
Contractual income and
performance related
grants
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to benefciaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on
receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised
as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fxed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
Donated services and
facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in
the SOFA.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
Income from membership
subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and
Legacies.

costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by
foor areas, or per capita, staf costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Grants with performance
conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specifc level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specifed service or output.

measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the

The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientifc, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. These have no
cost as they were donated and so are not depreciated.
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
Stocks and work in
progress
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net
realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value
based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
