## **PINEWOOD TRUST TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31[ST] MARCH 2021** 

The Pinewood Trust is an incorporated charitable organisation established in 2018 as a legacy to the collaborative network of organisations that had developed in the city of Hull and East Riding. During our third year we have continued to develop the foundations of the charity and ensured that we had appropriate governance, infrastructure and strategic planning to take steps towards the delivery of the aims and objectives of our charity. The piece of land identified as ‘Pinewood’ has been cleared further, currently realising a site size of 3.5 acres, with storage facilities and access routes for users of all ages and abilities. 

The global pandemic of Coronavirus (Covid-19) has impacted on plans to install toilet and washing facilities; however, we secured some funding through The Rank Foundation that will substantially help towards the purchasing of the structure and utilities to go within it. This year the site has continued to be used by local youth and community groups conducting social action projects, promoting positive relationships between young people across the city and helping to develop a sense of purpose within the site. Also, we have hosted overnight camping activities, fishing and cooking around the campfire. Our primary focus has been to give many young people the new experience of being in the outdoors and travelling away from urban areas, however the impact of Covid-19 has created greater challenges for young people, families, and communities, and therefore our activities have provided respite and ‘escapism’, promoting positive wellbeing for many who are suffering from isolation. The site and outdoor space has provided an environment where people have been able to come together and feel comfortable and confident to be around others again. 

Our plans continue to engage a wider range of ages, organisations and groups to access the site and our activities. It is our hope that with access to toilet and washing facilities, this will open up further potential and opportunities, and to be a steppingstone for more people accessing the outdoors independently. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The Pinewood Trust Trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year and ensure that they remain focused on its stated purposes. The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on

public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. 

## **Purposes and aims** 

The Pinewood Trust is a proactive charity with land (primary activity delivery site) based in Burshill, Brandesburton, near Beverley. We provide a safe environment and activities to encourage young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds; to get out of the city and enjoy the countryside, a peaceful place where older people can come together for days out; combating isolation and loneliness and a calming, green sanctuary offering respite to those affected with mental illness. 

## **Financial review** 

The charity receives income from grants and donations. During 2020 - 2021 the income amounted to £10,000.00. Direct charitable expenditure and other indirect expenditure amounted to £0.00. These values reflect the circumstances of Covid-19 and the limitations of our work during the Pandemic, with the reduction in activity delivery, our priority shifted to site clearance, maintenance, and management. Our aim is for further income generation for the viability and sustainability of our organisation and support of our aims and purpose.
