INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HAYGROVE COMMUNITY GARDENS
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Haygrove Community Gardens (‘the company’) for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 5 to 13.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the accounts. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently, I express no opinion as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Haygrove Community Gardens (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2020
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CHARITY INFORMATION
Haygrove Community Gardens is a private company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Redbank, Little Marcle Road, Ledbury, Herefordshire, HR8 2JL.
Haygrove Community Gardens meets the definition of a public benefit entity under section 34 of FRS 102.
The principal objectives of the charity are detailed in the Trustees report found on page 2 of these financial statements.
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the entity.
ACCOUNTING CONVENTION
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) second edition – October 2019 issued on 16 July 2014 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019. The accounting policies as disclosed have been applied consistently throughout the current and preceding year.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
GOING CONCERN
The Charity, which made a small profit in the year, is well regarded locally and fills an important niche area in supporting its service users, promoting and protecting the health of people with learning disabilities and mental health issues and in the education of the importance of horticulture, conservation, food and nutrition, particularly among young people. Trading budgets and cash flows have been prepared for 2021 and are monitored against actual performance. The charity has the ongoing support and commitment from its primary benefactor Haygrove Limited with regard to the general running of the charity and at the year end was holding financial resources in deferred income committed to specific projects within these plans. In March 2021 the Charity received confirmation from an external supporter that they are committed to donating £10,000 per year for the next five years towards the charity’s development of a Community Garden project in Ledbury. Taking all of these factors into account, the trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and these accounts have been prepared on this basis.
FUND ACCOUNTING
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and have not been restricted for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds is charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Haygrove Community Gardens (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2020
INCOME
Income is recognised when the charity is entitled to the income, the value can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable the funds will be received.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants relating to tangible fixed assets or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
EXPENDITURE
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Charitable expenditure comprises costs incurred by the charity in delivery of its activities and objectives. It includes both costs directly attributable to activities and indirect costs necessary to support them.
All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Assets costing £500 or more are capitalised as fixed assets and are carried at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
In determining the useful life of an asset consideration is given to both the asset type, its location and purpose of use.
Plant and machinery 4 years straight line.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As the charity only has basic financial instruments it has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102, to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the financial asset is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at market rate of interest.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Haygrove Community Gardens (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 December 2020
12 MOVEMENTS IN FUNDS (continued)
December 2020 represents the installation as a Fixed Asset on the Balance Sheet. Once the project was complete, remaining funds from the Electrical Installation at Ross Community Gardens were transferred to be used toward the Compostable Toilet at the Garden. The initial grant submitted was in respect of bringing “critical infrastructure” to the site, naming both the electricity connection and the compostable toilet. The Trustees approved the transfer of funds.
Income and the transfer of funds from the Electrical Installation make up the balance of the Compostable Toilet fund, another project at the Ross Community Garden. The project was in progress at the year end and is set for completion in the third quarter of 2021.
The Ledbury Primary Restricted Funds were raised via a LocalGiving page in 2019 specifically raised to be spent on a garden at the local primary school. Similarly with the Peace Pole Garden, donors contributed specifically towards a Peace Pole Garden built at the Ross Community Garden and the LocalGiving Ross Project funds were raised to support the Ross Community Garden project.
