and 1.19|Within the reporting period 1 April 2020 –
31 Mar 2021 the following activities were
undertaken:
1. Ongoing promotion of street
tree planting through street tree
labels, zoom events (a winter
tree identifcation webinar by
tree expert Greg Packman),
online publications (a monthly
newsletter) and by leafets
delivered to homes of residents.
STfL also receives requests for
trees from residents via
Lewisham Council’s website, and
STfL’s website.
2. STfL followed up requests for
new trees from residents for the
following autumn, including
funds and commitments to water
aforementioned trees. Funds are
then transferred to the Council
who plant the trees.
3. Volunteers/guardians were
recruited to start watering in
April 2020. All trees were audited
by the charity’s volunteers and
problems identifed were dealt
with by volunteers as
appropriate.
4. A two-year project for planting
200 trees outside schools in
Lewisham progressed into its
second year with the intention
both of protecting children from
the adverse efects of trafc
pollution and increasing their
interest in trees and the natural
environment. 95 trees have been
planted outside 11 Primary
schools in Lewisham in the
winter months 2020/21:
1.Coopers Lane Primary
2.Dalmain Primary
3. Tidemill Academy|

issued by the
Charity
Commission on
public beneft|Para 1.18|1.Please consult the statement above of
our charitable objectives to see how our
tree planting meets the Charity
Commission’s defnition of public beneft.
2. The “beautifcation of streets” was
achieved by planting 260 attractive trees
on streets in Lewisham over the reporting
period 1 Apr 2020- 31 Mar 2021. Of these
95 were School Trees and 34 were planted
in soft verges next to streets.
3. The promotion of “biodiversity” was
achieved by planting approximately 28
diferent genera of trees. Biodiversity is an
area of concern for the charity. Promoting
biodiversity is one of our core objectives.
In future planting years we intend to
improve our biodiversity fgures.
4.The promotion of “the benefts of a
healthy relationship between trees and
humans” was achieved by the recruitment
and subsequent support of
volunteers/guardians to water
approximately 450 trees starting in March
2020.
5. Children at Rathfern Primary School
were included in the watering and care of
the 10 trees (Honey Locust) that we
planted outside their school in 2019-20,
and teaching plans were shared with the
school to reinforce the children’s
understanding of the benefts of trees.
6. The facts that all of our trees are
planted in public places, and that they
have been planted in all of the Borough’s
18 wards shows that the benefts of our
trees are enjoyed by a wide section of the
public who live or work in Lewisham
7. In these ways we consider that we have
“had regard of to the guidance issued by
the Charity Commission on public beneft”

There are at least 400 guardian
volunteers whose main role is to water
the trees in spring and summer.
Contribution made Para 1.38 STfL charity coordinated volunteer roles
by volunteers of bookkeeping, gift aid submission,
writing funding applications, helping to
discuss and frame policies and
procedures, continued to support a tree
maintenance group, a social media
group (twitter, instagram and Facebook,
SEO development) and a business
developer to work on a Corporate
Sponsorship Package.
Thirteen volunteer “Area-reps” (the
operational team), surveyed and
scanned streets and liaised with
Lewisham council and street tree
sponsors, initiated planting of up to 131
trees across the Borough during the
winter 20/21. We consider it a fantastic
achievement to plant record numbers of
street trees during the pandemic year.
The three main difficulties we faced
were:
1. Our tree officers were working
from home and might not have
completed their scanning and
surveying of tree pits.
**----- End of picture text -----**
2. Many residents in Lewisham were hit hard by the pandemic losing jobs and needing to make use of food banks but the residents still managed to raise the funds to plant trees. 3. The tree planting teams were challenged by contracting Covid. Trees are heavy and need to be lifted by two men - social distancing was a challenge. Street Tree, the contractors, achieved the plantings even with these difficulties. 4. Fundraising for the School Trees was being mainly done by the school PTAs, who would normally host events to raise funds. These weren’t possible due to Covid, however STfL still managed to secure a minimum match funding of £300 per school. We regard our engagement of community volunteers one of our biggest achievements. Each year our numbers of volunteers increases, which in turn promotes and develops the depth and reach of the charity. STfL has become a member of the London Tree Officers Association, and Other has worked at strengthening its role within Lewisham council taking on tree case study work as well as partaking in fortnightly meetings with Green Scene and 6 weekly meetings with The Tree Team. We have been invited to join The London Urban Forest Partnership, and are now working closely with Lewisham Homes, and Lewisham Council’s Climate Resilience Green Infrastructure Working Group and Flood Mitigation Group and Lewisham as Borough of Culture Team. STfL is laying the
foundations for a closer working relationship with Lewisham Highways and Planning and TfL, hoping to plant trees along red routes in the future. We continue to have a strong working relationship with the GLA and have formed a strong working partnership with The National Trust who will be funding an STfL tree planting project in winter 2021-22 STfL has increased its online fundraising and networking opportunities and visibility through the creation of a JustGiving account, LinkedIn profile and Google Review page.

Tree and Woodland Awards. Given by the Forestry
Commission and Mayor of London.
Against the background of consolidating its independence
as a charity, STfL has continued its main service of liaison
re street tree planting, between the Council and the
people of Lewisham. Street trees beneft people who live
in Lewisham, by screening homes from trafc pollutants,
providing shelter and shade, bringing local communities
together and contributing to improving quality of life.
During this reporting period 1 Apr 2020- 31 Mar 2021 the
following achievements were realised:
1.
260 street trees were ordered and planted in
Lewisham.
(Note that the number of trees previously
planted were:
1 in 2011/12,
3 in 2012/13,
13 in 2013/14,
39 in 2014/15,

230 in 2017/18,
205 in 2018/19,
239 in 2019/20).
2.
These 260 street trees were planted across Lewisham,
in seventeen of the eighteen wards of Lewisham.
(Note that the number of wards trees were previously

3. Individuals pruned back approximately 30 trees.
4.
A DEFRA grant was applied for and won (up to
£160,000 over two years). This is allowing street tree
planting in new areas of the borough, and better
responsiveness to residents thanks to a paid part-time
Consultant. To be planted in 2020/21.
5.
The Operational team (Area Representatives) was
expanded from six to thirteen, reducing the pressure
on existing team members, and thereby improving the
service for residents.
6.
New relationships with sponsors were begun to allow
coverage of 17 of the 18 wards in the borough.
7.
STFL successfully resolved contractors’ problems with
species availability afecting approximately 10-15
trees, by negotiating alternative choices.
8.
400 sites were surveyed and scanned with a C Scope
street scanner by the charity’s volunteers for potential
planting in winter 2021/22. These were all
photographed and submitted to the Council Tree
Ofcer for assessment on behalf of sponsors.
Their results are extraordinary: in some boroughs, 30% of|

Successful attempts were made to recruit more volunteers in the community. This risk was particularly felt during the pandemic - we expected volunteers to stand down but the opposite was the case and many residents were keen to volunteer with us. Filling various roles which had not been filled previously. Recruitment for a new treasurer trustee began in January with the intention to widen the skills set of the trustee board.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts**
## **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the** ty Name **trustees/ members** Street Trees for Living **of**
31st March 2021 **On accounts for the year ended**
**Charity** 1185165 **no (if any)**
**Set out on pages** 1-2
(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **DD / MM / YYYY** .
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
**Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material **examiner's** matters have come to my attention in connection with the **statement** examination (other than that disclosed below *) 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; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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.
