**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 land.| |---|---| ||| ||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** 2025 , apart from the usual maintenance activities, centred around **achievements of the charity** building a work shed extension to create more covered work space. This **during the year** workspace is used for a variety of applications but mainly woodworking to create bird boxes, bird tables seats and custom products which is now becoming a valuable source of revenue. The normal maintenance activities occurring throughout the year were: grass cutting, pruning, hay making and limited tree planting. The trust continue to install limited numbers of benches and trees which are sponsored and this is a good source of income. Visitor number seem to be still increasing as are our volunteer numbers. There were several events throughout the year, the main ones being Children's Easter egg hunt, Christmas treasure hunt and the volunteers Christmas meal, all of which were very successful. ## **Section E - Financial Review** |**Financial Review Details**
**Statement of the charity's**
**policy on reserves**|At the end of the 2025 calendar year the Trust held a balance of**£10,681**.
2025's closing balance showed a decrease of £7,214 from 2024. This
decrease is primarily due to the extension of the work shed for much
needed covered workspace. Our main source of income is normally
from small regular donations from villagers, usually through standing
orders. Other income has been through the countryside stewardship
scheme, sponsorship of trees and seats, miscellaneous donations and
from rent (wave leave) payments from Severn Trent Water.| |---|---| ||| ||It is not the general policy to have a large reserve of funds, however
provision is often made for capital projects such as the digging of
scrapes (ponds) in 2026.
Should there be a large surplus of funds, such as a bequeathment, the
trustee would normally look to either purchase additional land or make
improvement to the existing.| ||| |**ction F - Future Activities**|| |**Future Plans**|| ||The main focus for 2026 is to improve the car park area, complete the
work shed extension and focus on the potential for implementing ponds
in the lower fields.| ## **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 -----**
