**TRANSITION BOURNEMOUTH Registered in England and Wales as Charity Number 1183648** 

**Annual Report for the period ending 31 March 2022** 



## **Transition Bournemouth - Annual Report for the period ending 31/03/2022** 

Report of the trustees for the period ending 31 March 2022. 

The trustees are pleased to present their annual Trustees’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period ending 31 March 2022. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, and are prepared in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice. 

## Chair’s Statement 

In March 2021 we were still living under social restrictions due to the Coronavirus pandemic; people were unable to meet indoors except within their household or support bubble, and outdoor meetings were limited to groups of 6 people or 2 households. This made running many of our events impractical and so we chose not to resume our usual activities for the time being. 

In September 2021 we resumed the Repair Café project, and were pleased to see that both the public and our volunteer fixers were still interested in the Bournemouth Repair Café. Heading into the forthcoming year we planned to re-establish the Repair Café as a monthly event within the BCP area. Our film screenings have continued to provide a sense of community and togetherness, bringing together members of the public for “green” discussion and education, as well as for some tasty treats and beverages at the Mad Cucumber café. The Slades Farm community garden resumed volunteer sessions, and has become an incredible space for wildlife. The garden also secured funding for a viewing platform for the pond which will be implemented in the future. 

During the period covered by this report three trustees stepped down from their roles. We thank Mike, Jennie, and Harriet for all that they have done and continue to do for Transition Bournemouth, and look forward to working with them in future. 

Going forward we can hopefully begin to put the events of the pandemic behind us and move on with reconnecting our communities. There will be more challenges to overcome both for our communities and for us as an organisation, but we will be ready to meet those challenges with the sense of community spirit and positivity that we have shown throughout all the activities we have hosted as an organisation. 


Pete Allen, Chairperson, Transition Bournemouth, Registered charity 1183648.

## Our Purposes and Activities 

Our charitable purposes are the promotion of conservation, protection and improvement of the natural environment, and the prudent use of natural resources for the benefit of the people of Bournemouth and the surrounding area. 

We aim to achieve this by 

- a. Advancing education and awareness of climate change, resource scarcity, peak oil, energy saving, and economic resilience; 

- b. Promoting individual and organisational commitment to a reduction in CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. 

Our vision is to help steer Bournemouth to a sustainable, low-carbon future where our community and wildlife thrives without costing the earth. 

The approach the trustees have taken in support of our vision for this year is to continue with the grass-roots projects we had in place at the time of becoming a Charity (30[th] May 2019) and to consolidate our policies and practices during our first year as a CIO. Our projects are the main means through which we achieve our aims and objectives. 

- Film Screenings raise awareness and provide education about climate change, resource scarcity, peak oil, energy saving, and economic resilience. 

- The Repair Café promotes the prudent use of natural resources. 

- Slades Farm Community Garden promotes the protection and conservation of our natural environment, improving it as a natural environment, for example, by increasing biodiversity through careful habitat management. 

The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. We endeavour to encourage all in our community to take part in our activities, including our themed monthly public meetings.

## Film Screenings 

We held 3 films over the film screening period of 20121-2022, all hosted at The Mad Cucumber. As usual, our hosts were very welcoming and put on a delicious range of vegan food and drinks for the viewers to buy before the films started. 


The films were as follows: 


## **Tuesday 19th October Motherload - by Liz Canning** 

Captures a new mother's quest to understand the increasing isolation and disconnection of modern life, its planetary impact and how cargo bikes could be an antidote. A representative from The Green Transportation and Logistics Company attended this and helped to facilitate an interesting discussion afterwards.

## **Tuesday 23rd November** 

## **Living the Change - by Jordan Osmond and Antoinette Wilson** 

The film makers explore solutions to global problems through the inspiring stories of people pioneering change in their own lives and their communities to live in a sustainable and regenerative way. 


## **Tuesday 22nd February (postponed from January, due to the Covid situation at the time) 2040 - by Damon Gameau** 

Concerned about his young daughter's future, the film maker travels the world in search of new approaches to climate change. He meets with innovators and change makers in many fields to draw on their expertise. This was a really popular event and the venue was packed. 

## Repair Café 

Due to covid restrictions making it difficult to safely hold events of this nature for much of 2021, we only had one event that year, in September. We had been receiving many enquiries about when we would run again, and many people had things that they had been hanging on to throughout lockdown and waiting to get them fixed. Therefore, the public was very pleased to see us return, and we had a queue out of the door at some points! We started 2022 as we meant to go on, with a return to having more frequent events - one in February and another the very next month -  and had attracted a cohort of new volunteers that was much needed due to a number of our pre-pandemic regulars no longer being available. 

## Slades Farm Community Garden 

In early 2022, we were successful in securing funding from Axa to install a viewing platform for the pond and funds to replace tools which have worn out. Sadly, due to personal reasons, the session leader has not been able to run many sessions this year, so these works are now planned for 22/23. 

In terms of volunteering, this has been another quiet year at Slades Farm Community Garden, but the wildlife continues to thrive in the varied habitats we have created. The photo is of an old lady moth.

We’d like to say a big thankyou to all our supporters and to the Parks and Countryside team who continue to help throughout the year by mowing the paths through the garden. 

## Our volunteers 

Transition Bournemouth is involved in the community and relies on voluntary help. Volunteers help run all our projects and make them fun. We wish to thank our volunteers for their support and encouragement, and would like to give particular thanks to Jo Gibbs, who kickstarted our revamped social media presence, and the Warrior Agency, who are now providing ongoing pro bono social media support. 

## Plans for the future 

## **Plans for 22-23** 

To continue supporting our existing projects: 

- Repair Café: this is planned to continue into 22-23.

## Financial Review 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. 

## **Statement as to disclosure to our auditors** 

In so far as the trustees are aware at the time of approving our trustees’ annual report: 

- there is no relevant information, being information needed by the auditor in connection with preparing their report, of which the group’s auditor is unaware, and 

- the trustees, having made enquiries of fellow directors and the group’s auditor that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. 

By order of the board of trustees

## Reserves Policy 

The majority of our donations are to Transition Bournemouth and so are unreserved.  However, in some instances donations are made to a specific project and so are treated as reserved for that project. Similarly, if a grant has been awarded for a particular project, then those funds are treated as reserved or that project. 

## Financial Position at Year End 

This was another unusual year. Last year was the first year of Transition Bournemouth being a CIO, and so was a part-year. This year, although a full year, has seen very little activity because of the Covid pandemic having such an impact on our projects. However, we also have had very little expenditure, so assuming our projects generally break-even in future, and with its current assets, Transition Bournemouth can continue for at least the next 5 years.

## **Transition Bournemouth - Annual Report for the period ending 31/03/2022** 

## **Notes on the accounts** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## a) Basis of Preparation 

Transition Bournemouth is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. It is not also set up as a trading company. The charity makes less than the current threshold, allowing the trustees the choice of Receipts and Payments accounting or Accrual accounting. The trustees have elected to use the Receipts and Payments accounting approach. 

Transition Bournemouth was started in 2009 by a small group of people who were committed environmentalists inspired by the positivity of the Transition movement and saw it as a better way to engage with people. We knew from experience that the old ‘doom and gloom’ approach foretelling apocalyptic consequences if we don’t change our ways wasn’t proving effective in inspiring behaviour changes towards more sustainable living. The transition movement offered a new and more positive approach looking at creating an attractive vision of a sustainable future and positive achievable ways of making a succession of small changes that ultimately add up to a big difference. The group became a Charitable Association in 2011 and slowly grew its following and its project portfolio. In 2018 the group decided to change the legal structure to minimise financial risks and to become a CIO. The assets, financial and otherwise, transferred directly from the Charitable Association to the CIO. There was no change made to our bank account, held with the Co-op. The amount transferred was £6,266.23. 

When Transition Bournemouth became a CIO on 30 May 2019, the new constitution moved the accounting year for the organisation to 1[st] April – 31[st] March. These accounts for our third year of being a CIO and are from 01-April 2021 – 31 March 2022. 

## b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis 

Each project is largely self-sustaining with outgoings generally being matched by income. On this basis, and on the strength of our reserves, the trustees consider the charity a going concern for at least the next 12 – 24 months. 

## c) Fund accounting 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular projects being undertaken by the charity.

## g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably 

## h) Tangible fixed assets 

Individual fixed assets are capitalised at cost and are depreciated 

over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis at 25% as these are largely tools for our projects and some marketing materials. 

## i) Employees and Pensions 

The charity does not employ any staff. 

## **2 Legal status of the Charity** 

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation since 30 May 2019. There is no liability to trustees in respect of the charity being wound up. 

## **3 Financial Performance of the Charity** 

The financial performance of the charity is largely made up of the performance of its projects.
