to those who are in need of it. We are driven by three core charitable
objectives:

The relief of those in need, hardship and distress

The preservation and promotion of good mental and health

The advancement of the Christian religion| |---|---| ||Windsor Hill Wood offers hospitality to both long term and short term
guests. The long term stays are the focus of the work at Windsor Hill
Wood, allowing appropriate time for guests to become part of the rhythm
of life and community, to have time away from their challenging situations
and to have time for a certain level of recovery. However, having short
term guests if space allows, supports a healthy and fresh dynamic and
can also provide significant help to those guests to enable them to reflect
on their next steps.
Windsor Hill Wood welcomes volunteers, both regular and one-offs. There
is a regular Wednesday volunteer work party in the woods and grounds.
This activity has sadly been reduced due to Covid-19 but is currently back
to normal levels
Windsor Hill Wood is open to all, regardless of religion, or absence of
religion. The Wardens are Christians as are some of the Trustees so the
daily and weekly rhythm of Windsor hill wood includes moments of
reflection and silence.
The Trustees meet formally either in person or remotely every two months
where the meetings are recorded. Informal unminuted meetings are held
in the intervening months where everybody is kept updated,| ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 Windsor Hill Wood welcomes volunteers, both regular and one-offs. There is a regular Wednesday volunteer work party in the woods and grounds. We hosted 4 work parties during the year and an Open Day. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main** The purchase of Rock House and the surrounding woodland from the **achievements of the charity** founder of the charity was completed on 31[st] May 2022 with the benefit of **during the year** a mortgage from Kingdom Bank and private loans and funds raised over the previous two years In this year we increased the guest accommodation from 5 to 6 and were consistently at capacity as can be seen by the increase in the number of long term guests from the previous year _._ 15 Long Term Guests: (individuals staying for longer than a month). Average stay: 4 months 11 Short Term Guests: (individuals staying for less than a month). Average stay: 10 nights We provided weekly art therapy for residential guests, a day visit to the horse therapist and a weekly volunteering session for local vulnerable adults with an average of 7 adults attending each week. We once again ran Woods for Wellbeing in Feb - Apr 2023 for 14 vulnerable adults. Participants were adults struggling with increased social isolation and mental health challenges during winter months. Participants have been referred through the Community Mental Health team at The Bridge, local GPs, village agents and health connectors as well as some self-referral. The long term warden family announced their departure at the end of the year and the trustees initiated the search process for replacement warden(s) to build on the successes of recent years and take the charities work forward. ## **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** Reserves are held to meet the day to day cash flow requirements of any unforeseen eventuality, as Windsor Hill Wood has obligations to both guests and long-term volunteers The Reserves Policy states that unrestricted cash equivalent to 3-6 months of budgeted unrestricted expenditure should be maintained. Reserves can currently be used to cover any shortfall in funding the organisation’s costs ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** None ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. **Fund values:** The large once-off impact of the property purchase led to a significant shift in the balance sheet from cash to fixed assets together with the introduction of considerable borrowings (mortgage and private loans). Nevertheless we were able to increase the cash reserves in the general fund due to a healthy operating surplus. In the non-property restricted funds the cash balances also rose due to some successful fundraising for specific projects. **Comments:** There have been a number of organisational changes in the year: a new accounting system (Xero), a new treasurer and a new independent examiner, long term reserves have been invested in an interest bearing account and redundant bank accounts have been closed. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** ## **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Peter Timothy Dennis **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Chair **etc)** March **2012** **TAR** 6 Date 11 November 2023 TAR March 2012 ||**WINDSOR HILL WOOD**
