which benefits local residents and the
global environment. These events were
running stalls at Southwell Market, at the
Bramley Apple Fair and a green fair
alongside Southwell Minster’s Craft Fair.
Around 350 people attended the green fair,
learning about sustainable food, recycling,
composting, active and sustainable

SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Contribution made by
volunteers|Para 1.38|Green Southwell volunteers are working
with the local Town Council to improve the
biodiversity of an area of land known as
Beryl’s Meadow. Around 55 volunteer
hours were spent developing a plan,
clearing brambles and nettles, scything,
and clearing the arisings, and sowing| yellow rattle in an effort to reduce the dominance of the grass. This will allow a variety of wildflowers space to grow in future. Volunteers also undertook a soil analysis to understand the suitability for different flowers. Over 30 volunteers also helped with two litter picks to clean the town in Autumn and Spring. ## **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|Volunteering opportunities have improved
the local environment, through reduction of
litter and reducing the spread of invasive
weeds; and have educated the wider
population through their promotion in local
and social media. Volunteering also
benefits individuals’ social wellbeing, and
the work on land management has also
improved knowledge and skills.
We also recognised the increase in eco-
anxiety and hosted a talk for over 40
people, to learn the positives of climate
action, and how everyone can have an
impact, and promoted sustainable food
through blogs that highlighted local eateries
that offer a range of meat-free options on
their menu, and started a blog series to
share recipes for many more options to
enjoy at home.
Our Facebook reach during the year was
8.3k. The page is used by a number of
volunteers to share local events and
initiatives, individual stories and our own
activities, and we have around 1000
followers across Facebook and Instagram.| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s
