**Annual Report of The Gordon Rowley Foundation** Charity number 1195533
Period 6[th] April 2023 to 5[th] April 2024
Address: The Water Tower, Wing Road, Manton, Rutland LE15 8SZ
## **Trustees**
Graham John Charles (Chairman) Colin Charles Walker (Secretary) Peter Arthurs Paul Hoxey Martin Lowry
## **Structure of the Foundation**
We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and our object is to advance the education for the public benefit in the subject of cacti and other succulent plants, their history, botany and cultivation.
The affairs of the CIO are managed by its trustees who serve for 3 years and may stand for re-election by the other trustees. Additional trustees can be invited to join the management team so long as they have the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
## **Activities and objectives for the period**
The charity was registered on 16[th] August 2021.
Before the Foundation can start operations, a building was needed to house the library and the plant collection as well as to undertake the activities described above.
During this period, a suitable building was found and our offer was accepted by the vendor. The purchase was completed in the following financial year so only the initial costs of the purchase fall into this period.
## **Financial review**
There was income from Bank interest and the sale of some donated books. The main expenditure was connected with the initial costs of purchasing the building for our operations. There was also the cost of storing donations since the main library was put into store. The main storage of the Rowley library is being funded by the British Cactus and Succulent Society.
