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 water restoration, food forest and forest garden projects, primarily grants to fund the creation and 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. The Trustees are actively planning to fundraise in the next year and we are hoping for some significant funding soon.
Financial review
Bankers: Lloyds Bank.
Net monetary assets at the end of the financial year stood at £1735. 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.
