Following the purchase of the land, the
significant receipts during the year
2024/2025 have come from member
donations at £1,191, for which we have
encouraged members to set up an annual
standing order. We have also requested
donors complete a new, multi-year Gift Aid
form which will allow us to claim Gift Aid on
those donations.
Outgoings have been associated with 3rd
party insurance required for the land, with 2
years’ premiums (£293 annually) being paid
in one financial year. Despite this, our cash
balance increased by £549 over the year.
The trustees are aware that Farnham Town
Council award grants for local organisations,
including those with an environmental
benefit, and we will investigate these for the
year 2025/2026.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the
