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 many 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 continue to be 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
Details of any funds materially in deficit
Following the award of the Heritage Lottery Grant our reserves still remain high. We were able to complete some of the anticipated tasks (Scything Course) but these continued to be curtailed due to lock down and safety issues. However, the project is continuing, Grants from the Rural Payments Agency have ceased. A grant from Natural England to help replace this funding was received.
