## **CHARITABLE AIMS** 

To raise awareness amongst children and adults about the issues of the climate crisis and developmental equity. The Initiative also works to restore forests (planting trees and protecting forests) and considers this to be both a practical and symbolic action in efforts to mitigate the effect of the climate crisis. 

Each aspect of our work contributes to our charitable aims in some way. 

While all organizations that are within the international network of Plant-for-the-Planet are recognised as potential worthy donation recipients, in 2023 donations were made to one of our international partners in Spain as follows:

In Spain, the donation has been made toward forest landscape restoration; through the planting of trees in  (a) Doñana National Park, Andalucía and/or (b) the Green Belt of Granada. This contributes to our aims of planting and caring for trees and encouraging the planting and caring for trees globally, and fostering an appreciation  of trees and the amenity and ecological value of tree cover; advance education for the public benefit in trees and their habitats.

## Summary 

Plans for 2023-2024 are to formalize the long-term support of the Spanish projects and provide funds to  either or both Ghanian and Ethiopian community-based (smaller scale) forest restoration efforts. 

## Spain 

Plant-for-the-Planet UK will continue to fund forest ecosystems with the intention to establish a framework agreement with Fundación Plant-for-the-Planet España outlining the intention of Plant-for-the-Planet UK to support the restoration projects in "Doñana and Granada" in the long-term.

Furthermore: 

The funds will be used for forest restoration (planting), maintenance and management. 

Approved Uses include all necessary activities and interventions that contribute to the sustainability and success of the programme/restoration activities (such as NTFPs and community development). 

Approved uses include replacement planting for areas with low survival rates and where human supported restoration/interventions can have a positive impact.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2023** 

## **Governance** 

To improve the governance of Plant-for-the-Planet UK and to ensure we meet Charity Commission guidelines and deadlines, we will be formally engaging an accountant and charity management expert. 

## **Financial review** 

## **Financial position** 

At 31 May 2023 the charitable company had free reserves of £721,114 (2022 - £288,714). The net surplus for the year of £432,400 represents an increase when compared to the previous year's surplus on ongoing activities of £16,741. 

## **Reserves policy** 

Charitable free reserves are defined as, income which becomes available to the charitable company and is to be spent at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of any of the charity's objectives, but which is not yet  spent, committed or designated. 

The free reserves of the charitable company are represented by the accumulation of cash reserves from the surplus of income over expenditure in both the current and past financial years. The charitable company currently has annual running costs of approximately £5,000 that require financing before retaining most of its free reserves for the purposes of financing its future charitable objectives. 

The level of free reserves is reviewed regularly by the trustees and the charitable company's reserves policy is to maintain accumulated funds at a sufficient level to cover the annual running costs of the charitable  company for the foreseeable future with any surpluses used to support future charitable objectives. 

## **Distribution to Fundación Plant-for-the-Planet España** 

During the financial year,  disbursements of £434,783 were made to Fundación Plant-For-the-Planet España. 

The Trustees have been advised that two potential compliance issues have been identified relating to this distribution: 

1. The support was not resolved at a board meeting, only by the signed "Donation Agreement". 

2. Karolin Finkbeiner was a member of the board of Directors of the Recipient organisation (Fundacion Plant-for-the-Planet Espana) between June 2013 and June 2023. This represents a potential conflict of interest. 

Plant-for-the-Planet UK has engaged the law firm Batewells to resolve the above problems, and Karolin Finkbeiner is liaising with this firm. The Trustees of Plant-For-The-Planet UK have confirmed that they still intend to support the programme of Fundación Plant-For-the-Planet España. 

Finally, in respect of this issue, further distributions of €320,000 or £278,066 were made to Fundación Plant-For-the-Planet España in two amounts of €160,000 each on 29/9/2023 and 22/11/23.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2023** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Principal risks and uncertainties** 

The trustees continually review: 

- The high and significant risks to which the charity is exposed; 

- the cause, effect and potential impact associated with each risk; and 

- the countermeasures and contingencies to reduce the probability and effect of the risk to a level the  trustees considers to be acceptable. 

The charity has an up-to-date risk register which is regularly reviewed, consideration is given to necessary  steps to mitigate the risks or improve controls and also to identify any new risks to the charity. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company,  limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

The Plant-for-the-Planet UK is a registered charitable company number 08089321, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association and incorporated on 30 May 2012. 

The company was granted charitable status on 29 July 2020. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The charitable company is administered by the trustees comprising of the individuals who are the trustees of the charitable company at any given time, including the first trustees and their successors. In selecting individuals for appointment as trustees, the trustees have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience required for the effective administration of the charitable company. Currently there are 2 trustees, with  plans to recruit a further trustee in the coming year to build the skills across the board. 

## **Decision making** 

The board of trustees makes and approves policy decisions at board meetings. 

Notes of the decisions made are devolved to the support team who implement the decisions made and  report back to the board.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2023** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

Plant-for-the-Planet understands that induction and training is vital for new trustees to help them get up to speed with the role, the organisation and their legal responsibilities. It will also help them to understand our key policies and procedures. 

When new trustees are appointed to the board, they will receive an induction pack which includes information on trustee duties, a copy of our governing document and Charity Commission guidelines for trustees. We will provide copies of all the charity policies and procedures, general and specifically relevant to the trustee's  role. It is expected that new trustees will take the time to read the charity's governing document and understand the rules, aims and objectives. However, it is the new trustee's responsibility to ensure they are informed of all policies and key documents relevant to the charity. 

Plant-for-the-Planet UK recognises the Charity Governance Code and Charity Commission Guidance which stipulates the 6 main responsibilities of a trustee - these can be viewed in full via the Charity Commission Website CC3- The Essential Trustee: What's involved. As part of the induction and training process this will  be discussed in full. 

At the earliest opportunity following receipt of all documentation as outlined above a board trustee will arrange to meet with the new trustee to discuss the current work priorities of the charity, answer any questions about roles and responsibilities and confirm any time scales relevant to the new trustee's role and skill set. During this meeting the board trustee will also review the skills of the new trustee and arrange any mentoring or training felt appropriate. 

If possible a meeting of fellow trustees, either in person or virtually, will be arranged for the new trustee to meet their fellow trustees - we believe a good relationship between all trustees who are collectively responsible and accountable for the overall management of the charity is key to the charity's success. 

The procedure for trustee meetings will be discussed particularly how to prepare for them in advance and to contribute with views and ideas. It is essential that any new trustee feels confident to ask questions, particularly on things they are unclear about to increase knowledge and effectiveness. 

## **Review of trustee performance** 

On a regular basis (preferably annually) the Chair will speak to individual trustees to consider their  contribution to the organisation and identify any areas where the trustee would benefit from additional training or  support. The trustee board will collectively review its performance at regular intervals, again preferably annually along with a trustee skills audit. It should also review the performance of the Chair person. The trustee board will  use resources available from Government Governance Support Agencies to support this process. 

## **Management** 

The management of the charitable company is vested in the officers of the company, who are all directors  for the purpose of company law and trustees for the purpose of charity law.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Plant-for-the-Planet UK** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Plant-for-the-Planet UK ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Plant-for-the-Planet UK** 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I  can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of  Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with  the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the  Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic  of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 May 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102,  have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by  Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance  with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to  the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation  committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for  on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the  category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

## **Foreign currencies** 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at  the operating result.

## **Distribution to Fundación Plant-for-the-Planet España** 

During the financial year, disbursements of £434,783 were made to Fundación Plant-For-the-Planet España. 

The Trustees have been advised that two potential compliance issues have been identified relating to this distribution: 

1. The support was not resolved at a board meeting, only by the signed "Donation Agreement". 

2. Karolin Finkbeiner was a member of the board of Directors of the Recipient organisation  (Fundacion Plant-for-the-Planet Espana) between June 2013 and June 2023. This represents a potential conflict of interest. 

Plant-for-the-Planet UK has engaged the law firm Batewells to resolve the above problems, and Karolin Finkbeiner is liaising with this firm. The Trustees of Plant-For-The-Planet UK have confirmed that they still intend to support the programme of Fundación Plant-For-the-Planet España. 

Finally, in respect of this issue, further distributions of €320,000 or £278,066 were made to Fundación Plant-For-the-Planet España in two amounts of €160,000 each on 29/9/2023 and 22/11/23.
