To promote for the public benefit the conservation and improvement of the physical and natural environment and the biological diversity of the common lands in the parish of Cricklade. 2. To promote such other charitable purposes under the law of England and Wales for the benefit of the inhabitants of the parish of Cricklade as the trustees shall from time decide March **2012** **TAR** 2 Having regard to the Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant, we confirm that the Trustees are aware of the guidance, and they have taken it into account when making a decision to which the guidance is relevant. During 2021 activities were suspended due to the Corona Virus outbreak apart from the ongoing management of the meadow and the grazing of cattle and horses in line with our constitution. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** The lifting of restrictions in 2022 meant activities could be resumed both in the public arena and in the work undertaken in connection with the grazing of the meadow (see Section D). The Platinum Jubilee of the late Queen was celebrated in June 2022 with a ‘Picnic in the Park’ type event with Cricklade Band. This was a free event provided for the Townspeople to come together to celebrate. A loyal toast to her Majesty was proposed by the High Bailiff and the Beacon lit by way of celebration. The death of her Majesty shortly after on 10[th] September 2022 allowed the Court to fulfil their civic responsibilities and a Royal Proclamation was delivered by the Town Crier on 11[th] September to many residents and dignitaries including a representative of the Lord Lieutenant for Wiltshire. A full Court Leet was held on 28[th] October 2022 where Officers gave their reports and new members sworn in. All members of the Court retook their Oath of Allegiance to the new King Charles III. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. March **2012** **TAR** 3 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. Working with Natural England we facilitated some of the clearance work on the River Churn that flows around part of the meadow to ease some of the long-term flooding experienced and financed an Ecological report on the plant species on the field. As a part of the funding received from the Heritage Lottery Fund work progressed on the areas that had been delayed by Covid particularly the courses highlighted in the application (Butterflies) and on better signage and information trail at the meadow. Donations were made to the Royal British Legion and to the Town Band 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/ March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## **Section E Financial review** Following the award of the Heritage Lottery Grant our reserves remain **Brief statement of the** high but have reduced from previous years and are not a cause for **charity’s policy on reserves** concern. The project is continuing with regular reports and updates provided to the Heritage Lottery Fund and lottery money is ring fenced against future spend. Grants from the Rural Payments Agency have ceased with no information from the Government as to whether these will be replaced. A grant from Natural England to help replace this funding was received. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** None ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** |**Signature(s)**
