Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We are responsible for managing the grazing on North Meadow from 12[th] August to 12[th] February and the Court Members commit 250 volunteer hours per annum to this task. We work with the graziers, carry out daily checks as well as installing, maintaining and removing 2.5km of electric fencing and 8 pasture pumps. In addition, our volunteer wardens monitor North Meadow and work with Natural England to resolve any management issues.
Various measures put in place to protect grazing animals in the meadow and improve the physical environment e.g. pasture pumps.
Donations were made to the Royal British Legion as part of our civic role and associated activities.
The Cricklade Court Website and Facebook pages have been updated and contain much more information about the meadow and public access. http://www.crickladecourtleet.org.uk/

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
Following the award of the Heritage Lottery Grant our reserves remain considerably higher than usual. We were unable to complete many of the anticipated task due to lock down and safety issues. However, the project is continuing, and many of the planned activities have been completed this year. Grants from the Rural Payments Agency have ceased and future funding is a concern. We were unable to fund Open University research and recording of data this year. .

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records;
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.
