Section B - Structure, governance and management
Description of the charity's trust(s)
| Additional Governance issues Trustee Selection methods How the charity is constituted Type of Governing document |
Derrington Millennium Green Trust was registered as a Charity on 19th September 1998 and is governed by a Trust Deed. DMGT converted to a CIO in 2019 to enable the purchase of additional ~~ld~~ |
|---|---|
| ~~an~~ | |
| Consists of trustees who manage the Millennium Green and volunteers who help maintain the Millennium Green |
|
| With the exception of the Nominated Trustee and the Official Custodian, all other Trustees are appointed on a specific renewable term. New trustees can be appointed in any of the trustees meetings. |
|
| Three Trustees represent a quorum. It is the usual practice for the Trust to ask people to show an interest in becoming a Trustee at all our public meetings. The Trust has no paid employees; further, no Trustee receives any remuneration or expenses. |
Section C - Objectives and Activities
| Summary of the Main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects Additional details of objectives and activities Summary of the objects of the charity set out in it's governing document |
The primary objective of the Trust is to hold and utilise the trust fund for the provision and maintenance of Derrington Millennium Green for the benefit of the inhabitants Derrington and surrounding areas. |
|---|---|
| The property is used for informal recreation, a meeting area or place for community events. In order for the Millennium Green to be available throughout the year, regular maintenance takes place to ensure that the environment is not only safe but also enjoyable. A significant part of the green's management is to encourage wildlife by either carefully husbanding the environment (e.g. Pond Filling from a bore hole) or leaving some areas in a more natural state. The Green (and adjacent 23 acre Woodland Trust wood) is particularly popular with walkers and Dog walkers. Amenities have been provided for disabled access which is another one of our key objectives. |
|
| A great contribution is made by the volunteers and 'friends' of the Millennium Green who donate time and money to enable the upkeep and development of the Millennium Green. We are constantly grateful for the support. Without this valuable contribution of time, money and energy we would not have been able to achieve so much. Any surplus funds which are not likely to be needed for upkeep or events are placed on deposit as a contingency. |
Section D - Achievements and Performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
After the concerns over the last few years, it has been good to return to some sense of normality. Monthly workdays have been reinstated and now there are also regular weekly work days which, are well attended. There has been a shift from sponsorship to the sale of items such as seats, bird tables and birdboxes all created by the volunteers. This has been a valuable source of income as there aren't many spaces left fro benches of trees to be sponsored. The new fields are now consolidated and widely used by walkers. The trust will continue to manage the fields in a sympathetic way. There is a desire to eventually graze the land with cattle but this will require a grant for fencing which the gReen are actively looking at with govenment grants. |
|---|---|
Section E - Financial Review
| Financial Review Details Statement of the charity's policy on reserves |
At the end of the 2022 calendar year the Trust held a balance of £22,374. This year's closing balance is a anincreaseof£6,154from 2021. This increase is primarily due to increased sponsorship activities. Our main source of income is normally from small regular donations from villagers, usually through standing orders. Other income has sources have been through sponsorship of trees and seats, miscellaneous donations and from rent (wave leave) payments from Severn Trent Water. The majority of DMGT's costs are for maintenance activities and insurance. |
|---|---|
| It is not the general policy to have a large reserve of money however, the borehole used to keep the pond full has collapsed so the Trust is trying to build up a reserve to pay for this. Should there be a large surplus of funds, such as a bequeathment, the trustee would look to either purchase additional land or make improvement to the existing. |
|
| ction F - Future Activities | |
| Future Plans | |
| The main focus for 2022 has been maintenance and consolidation of the new land. |
