**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 an**increase**of**£6,154**from
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.| ## **Section F - Future Activities** ## **Section G - Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees' report above.** ## **Signed on behalf of the charity's trustees** **----- Start of picture text -----**
