The Trustees at March 10[th] 2024 are Louis Friedman, Allison Addison and Olwyn Pritchard.

Olwyn Pritchard, for the Trustees.
Dyfed Permaculture Farm Trust Treasurer’s report for the Year ending 31[st] December 2023
As incoming Treasurer I was tasked with preparing the accounts for 2022 as these had been mislaid in the handover from the previous Treasurer. Below I present the accounts for 2023 but also the corrected set of accounts for 2022.
Cash at bank and in hand is increasing year on year, standing at £9183.81 at the end of 2023 with the increase on 2022 being £2037.15.
Camping income has increased in 2023 this has been due to a much larger Quaker camp, campers attending Pamela Gaunt’s two day event and an increase in Pitch up campers.
The review and subsequent Use and Occupation Agreement has increased our cabin rental income and given us a new income stream with the shop rental payments from Scythe Cymru of £450 per year.
No income-earning courses were run directly by the Trust this year, this may be where the farm as a charity can increase future income, possibly by paying trust members to share their skills.
During the year the Trust bought a new gas cooker for the barn kitchen and an electric pump for water, work was also carried out on the track. These items appear in the categories “Other materials” and “Maintenance”.
I look forward to being Treasurer for the forthcoming year.
Allison Addison
