OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Green Allotments aims to increase the provision of allotments in areas of high demand in the UK. We secure land and support local communities to run their own allotment sites, working collaboratively with the National Allotment Society and local council. We expect to supply these allotment sights without charge.
Significant activities
We built relationships with people in the sector and identified our first allotment site. With volunteers we have built up a successful website, Instagram and list of supporters.
FUTURE PLANS
We plan to buy a few allotment sites to demonstrate that the model will work - of finding suitable pieces of land, buying them, and working with local people to create new allotment sites.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
