## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** ## **From 09/11/2023 To 31/12/2024** ## **Charity name: 2mtrees** ## **Charity registration number: 1205655** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To promote the conservation protection
and improvement of the physical and
natural environment for the public benefit,
in particular in urban areas in the North
East England by encouraging tree planting
in publicly accessible spaces as the
trustees shall determine to increase
biodiversity.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The charity expects to meet its purposes
predominantly through grant-making to
organisations and individuals, as well as
direct tree-planting activities where this can
be arranged in partnership with third-party
organisations.
During the accounting period, no activities
took place due to the accumulation of funds
to begin pursuing the activities of the
charity. The charity expects to begin
engaging in its activities following the
accumulation of funds through donations
and the need to build a grant-making policy
prior to making grants.| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The trustees are aware of the guidance but
have not made any decisions to which the
guidance is relevant.| ## **Additional information** |**Additional information**||| |---|---|---| ||SORP reference|| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|The trustees have undertaken to build the

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The charity has not been able to pursue its
intended activities but it has had success in
raising donations and awareness of the
charity’s purposes and objectives.
The progress made in developing a
recurring funding stream through regular
donations, as well as building awareness of
the charity’s objectives, is the platform
upon which the charity will be able to begin
meeting its purposes. With funding
available and a track record of support, as
well as an understanding of the charity’s
position and objectives, the trustees expect
to be able to open partnerships with third-
party organisations in order to begin
applying funds to the intended charitable
purposes.| ## **Additional information** |Achievements against
objectives set|Para 1.41|For this initial period, the charity’s primary
objective was to begin building funds
towards its charitable purposes and to build
awareness of the charity’s position and
objectives. This objective has been
substantially met and the charity’s funding
position is positive.
The charity has not made progress in
achieving its charitable purposes and this is
not in line with the expected objectives.
However, the trustees expect progress to
be made now that the charity’s funding
position is more secure.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|The charity did not have a specific
fundraising objective but there was an
expectation that the charity would raise
sufficient funds to begin taking steps
towards achieving its charitable purposes.
The funding position of the charity is now
adequate to allow the trustees to begin
pursuing activities which meet its charitable
purposes.| |Investment performance

committed future expenditure. These
assets are all available to be put towards
the objects of the charity.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The charity does not have a reserve policy
because the trustees deem this
unnecessary. The charity does not have
recurring costs or committed expenditure
and has not entered into any contracts
which require future funding. There are
therefore no expected events or
foreseeable scenarios for which reserves
ought to be held.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£0| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|Charity holds minimal funds (£310.01) and
has no ongoing or recurring costs and has
no committed expenditure – reserves are
therefore not required for operating costs or
committed expenditure in the event of a
funding shortfall.| |Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24|N/A| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern|Para 1.23|There are no uncertainties about the charity

risks to the charity’s financial position.| |Other||N/A| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
