## **BronFair Trustees report March 2024-2025** 

This year we have continued to divide out plots as they become empty allowing more people to have their own space to garden. Bringing old plots back into use. We currently have 73 plots all filled with people who love growing and the outdoors. We also completed out family plot early this year 

Allowing an extra 6 families to join us. This was a successful project, the community poly tunnel and 

shed is filled to capacity. We have also cleared a large area to be used as extra car parking. We continue to maintain and improve our community orchards and our flower gardens. 

## **Our aim for 2 0 2 5 - 2 0 2 6** 

We have a large fence, rusty, broken and dangerous. This will be replaced as soon as possible. This is a priority and will be replaced. 

We have already purchased solar panels, so we hope to get them installed this year. They will enable us to run CCTV for security, a fridge for cool drinks in summer and a light in our meeting shed. 

We have had so many disabled teams and young people with Autism join us this year. Plus, disabled people with their support workers we are running out of space. They have specialist needs so unable to manage their own plot. Our plan is to revamp a large overgrown area we have. Most importantly they need safe secure paths so they can get around safely and easily. I have managed to raise funds to complete this work this year, our aim is to create a lovely calm atmosphere for them to relax. Quite rustic with fruit trees, nesting boxes possible built in barbecue. That's dependant on our funds. 

## **BronFair Financial Reserves** 

We understand the need for reserves, so we intend to keep £ 2000.00 as a backup. 

It's costs Approx. £1000.00 to run the allotments each year. 

Our running costs are relatively low, as we are an eco-site, , we have no running water or electricity. 

Our only fixed costs is insurance
