The charity’s annual ploughing match and show day featured a variety of competitions and demonstrations, including ploughing and cultivation, hedge laying, and fencing. Stands also showcased traditional rural crafts such as bee keeping, hurdle making, and other countryside skills. Livestock demonstrations, featuring cattle and sheep, further contributed to public understanding and appreciation of farming and animal husbandry. ``` ``` - 1 - ``` ## **`West Grinstead & District Ploughing & Agricultural Society`** ## **`Trustees' report (including directors' report) (continued) For the period ended 30 April 2025`** ## **`Public Engagement and Education`** ``` A “Meet the Farmer” stand was featured at the annual ploughing match, particularly aimed at engaging children and families. Visitors were able to speak directly with farmers and learn more about modern agriculture. Bursary recipients were invited to attend and explain how the charity’s support had benefited their studies and career development. ``` ``` The charity continued to foster strong links with local schools. Winners of the annual Schools Crop Growing Competition were recognised at the ploughing match, with pupils attending to receive their awards. Atotal of seven schools participated in this year’s competition. Financial assistance was also provided to support school transport for farm visits at Goffs Farm, Southwater, enabling children to experience farming first-hand. ``` ## **`Education and Training Support`** ``` The charity’s bursary scheme continued to provide valuable assistance to individuals pursuing training in agricultural and forestry skills. This year, bursary funding supported courses in telehandler operation and chainsaw use, helping recipients to gain practical qualifications essential to their work and future careers. ``` ## **`Achievements and performance`** ``` Throughout the period under review, the Society maintained engagement with the local and wider community. ``` ``` Specifically, the following are highlights: ``` ``` The annual ploughing match attracted around 4,000 attendees, including volunteers, exhibitors, competitors, and members of the public, reflecting strong community engagement and growing interest in rural lifeand agriculture. ``` ``` Field and show competitions successfully promoted good agricultural practice and showcased both traditional and modern farming techniques. ``` ``` The “Meet the Farmer” initiative effectively engaged young people and families, fostering greater awareness and appreciation of farming and food production. ``` ``` Seven schools participated in the crop growing competition, strengthening the charity’s educational outreach and partnerships with local schools. ``` ``` Pupils attending the show day gained valuable hands-on experience and recognition for their achievements in growing and cultivating crops. ``` ``` The bursary programme continued to deliver measurable impact, enabling individuals to complete accredited training and improve their employability within the rural sector. ``` ``` Support for school transport ensured inclusive access to educational farm visits for pupils who might otherwise have been unable to attend. ``` ``` Through these combined activities and outcomes, the charity has made demonstrable progress in advancing its aims of promoting excellence in agriculture and rural crafts, and supporting education and training within the sector. ``` ## **`Financial review`** ``` In 2025 our income from investments, activities and donations was more than the cost of our charitable activities and for this period we had a cash flow surplus of £84,621. ``` ``` The state of our balance sheet and accounts is healthy and we are well positioned to meet the demands of the current challenging economic environment.
