Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

To promote sustainable development for the benefit of the public by:

The preservation, conservation and the protection of the environment and the prudent use of resources; The relief of poverty and the improvement of the conditions of life in socially and economically disadvantaged communities;

The promotion of sustainable means of achieving economic growth and regeneration among areas of social and economic deprivation.

To advance the education of the public in subjects relating to sustainable development and the protection, enhancement and rehabilitation of the environment

The charity's main activities

Our goal is to make Otley a carbon-zero, sustainable and fair town by the 2030s, and to ensure that this transition is made in a just and democratic way, involving all areas of our local community.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of sustainability.

Achievements and performance

Otley Community Larder – Opened in September 2023 in a spare room of Otley Social Club. We intercept surplus food from local retailers and allotments and make it available on a pay as you feel basis to local people. We have employed a volunteer coordinator with funding from the National Lottery and we currently have over 40 volunteers involved. We serve approximately 60 customers a week.

Community Research Network - In the summer we collaborated with Climate Action Seacroft and the Leeds Doughnut Coalition, and were successful in securing UKRI funding to carry out community-led research around nature. 20 local people attended the six-session programme and carried out research around wildlife in gardens.

Chevin Discovery Day - In June, Otley Nature Network and Friends of Chevin Forest held their free nature connection day for families with young children at Otley Chevin Forest Park. 350-400 people came along to learn about wildlife and habitats and to support local nature organisations.

Otley Methodist Church - We have been assisting Friends of the Wesley Otley Limited with the purchase of the Otley Methodist Church for community use. We are planning to open a Community Action Hub and an 'eco show home' as part of this project.

University of Leeds - For the third consecutive year, we worked with Masters students at the University of Leeds. Students from the Housing module of the MSc Sustainable Cities completed a two-week project focusing on the East of Otley Exemplar Development. Two students chose to complete their dissertations with us; one around food growing on the site, and one designing the ideal block of housing.

Big Green Weekend - At the beginning of April 2023, building on the success of our Festival of Kindness in 2021 and Otley Courthouse’s long-running Green Fair, we held the Otley Big Green Weekend. The weekend was incredibly well attended, and highlights included a bike-powered youth gig, a talk from BBC Countryfile's Tom Heap, and a day of climate action workshops in collaboration with Climate Action Leeds.

Weston Woods - Starting in February 2023, but running up until the current time, we have been part of the fundraising team that secured approximately £220k to buy Weston Woods for community and nature.

During 2024 we have been using this to install solar panels on 2 community buildings, plant a nature garden at a local football club and consult with the local community about their future priorities. We also funded the training of key local stakeholders in carbon literacy.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Otley 2030 CIO

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the period ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 11.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
