## Objectives and activities 

## Objects 

To promote for the benefit of the public the conservation, preservation and improvement of the physical and natural environment using methods that sequestrate carbon from the atmosphere including (but not limited to) agroforestry, forest gardens and food forests 

## Main activities 

Our main activity is to give grants to food forest and forest garden projects, primarily grants to fund the planting of such projects. 

## Achievements and performance 

The charity has not started to achieve its aims because of a lack of funding. Without funds coming in clearly there can be no grants given out. We are hoping for some significant funding in the next year. 

## Financial review 

Bankers: Lloyds Bank. 

Net monetary assets at the end of the financial year stood at £125. There are no funds materially in deficit. 

## Policy on reserves 

The FFF does not require reserves, as there are no day-to-day costs of running the charity – any work required is done free by the Trustees. 

The policy on reserves is reviewed annually by the Trustees. 

## Declaration 

The Trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
