|Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|(a) To promote for the benefit of the
public the conservation, protection and
improvement of:
(i) the open space known as
Wormwood Scrubs (“the
Scrubs”) for exercise, recreation
and leisure in particular but not
exclusively in accordance with
the Wormwood Scrubs Act 1879
and other statutes and lawful
instruments that apply to the
management and use of the
Scrubs
(ii) the physical and natural
environment of the Scrubs and
its biological diversity
(b) to advance the education of the
public in the history and natural history
of the Scrubs|
|Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The Trust engages with its members
regularly via email and Newsletters about
the Scrubs.The Friends maintain a website
to disseminate information relating to the
Scrubs and to raise issues of concern of
which we are aware eg HS2 works on the
Scrubs. Two of our trustees are co-opted to
the Wormwood Scrubs Charitable Trust
(which is responsible for maintaining the
Scrubs) and attend regular meetings to
give FoWWS views on the ongoing use of
the Scrubs, issues arising including
maintenance and policing issues, and the
preservation of the wildlife on the Scrubs.|

## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The Friends have worked tirelessly to
ensure that the users are aware of the
environmental importance of the Scrubs
through engaging with the users directly,
promoting the values through various
communication channels including its
website, forum, emails, etc., through active
engagement with the WSCT, and the local
authority, the London Borough of
Hammersmith and Fulham, and the Parks
and Met Police (particularly when there has
been a risk of unauthorised large scale
gatherings of the Scrubs). These actions
have promoted a sense of safety and
security for users, and have discouraged
the public from damaging the Scrubs. With
HS2 works ongoing on relocation of a
sewer on the Scrubs, a group of volunteers
have worked with LBHF in carrying out
protective works to preserve the wildlife
habitat.|
