CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE – BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT 2022-23

CHAIR’S INTRODUCTION

The amount of work described in this report and the difference that we are making for local people, heritage and nature is remarkable when we consider our small staff team and the resources at our disposal.

We opened four new areas of green space for people to enjoy and nature to flourish, two were at Wandlebury, expanding the country park by 25 acres, and two at Coton Countryside Reserve, giving access to an additional 5 acres. Thousands of cyclists and walkers using the Chisholm Trail were also able to enjoy the 3 acres at Barnwell Meadows for the first time.

We carried out major repairs to save the UK’s oldest windmill from collapse and re-opened it to the public for the first time in three years.

All these exciting projects are in addition to the essential day-to-day work of maintaining the 500 acres of land and four historic sites in our care, so that they continue to benefit people, the environment and heritage.

Through the Cambridge Nature Network we organised the first ever Cambridge Nature Festival, a month-long programme of nature-based activities that engaged over 20,000 people and was listed as one of the UK’s best free festivals. As the pandemic receded, this was also the first year since 2019 that we were able to provide a full programme of 202 educational, cultural and recreational events for the local community.

Results from the 2021 census show that Cambridge is one of the fastest growing places in the UK and this is resulting in huge pressure for change. Being able to influence this change to benefit Cambridge’s environment, heritage and people is one of the greatest challenges for our charity. Last year we responded to 72 development proposals where we were concerned about their impacts, that is more than one a week. The resources being devoted to new development by government and developers means that we are often like David trying to influence Goliath. For several years we have been campaigning for bus lanes next to roads rather than bus roads through the countryside as a solution to Cambridge’s transport congestion, and this year the campaign to Save the Coton Green Corridor & Orchard from a bus road was significantly ramped up ahead of crucial decisions.

In the face of this pressure, we continue to plan positively for Cambridge, for example through our work helping to lead and co-ordinate the Cambridge Nature Network, which is both a plan to double nature and a partnership.

All of this fantastic work is great credit to our trustees, staff, volunteers and supporters. I was very honoured to take over as Chair of the charity in November 2022 from Ros Aveling, who has done an amazing job stabilising and re-invigorating our charity.

Having steered a course through the pandemic, over the last year our charity has been grappling with the effects of high inflation. Our costs have been increasing rapidly but we are not able to increase all our sources of income at the rate of inflation, meaning that we need to generate more new income. We are also conscious of the cost-of-living crisis on our community, and we did not increase our car parking charges or membership subscriptions during the year. In view of these challenges and set against a significant increase in spending on our charitable work, it is pleasing to report a small operating surplus.

Our plans for the year ahead are equally ambitious and to sustain the high level of impact we are achieving we will be working hard to access grant funding, grow our membership and encourage more support from donors.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Company law requires the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company as at the end of the financial year and of the results of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Board of Trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• comply with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the

page 2 of 32

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE – BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT 2022-23

assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT

CambridgePPF’s governing body is the Board of Trustees comprising the Trustees (the Company Directors) who have full decision-making authority on behalf of the membership. The Board of Trustees is elected by the membership at the charity’s Annual General Meeting (AGM). Board members are elected for a period of four years and serve as trustees of the charity and as directors under the Companies Act. Mid-year vacancies are filled by co-option. Co-opted members stand for election at the following AGM. Board members are given induction and offered training which is appropriate to them given their personal qualifications and experience and the particular role that they play within CambridgePPF.

The charity has one committee operating under the terms of the governing document, the Finance Committee, which advises the Board on matters relating to the financial management of CambridgePPF and its investment and property assets.

The charity has a number of standing working groups which also report to the Board, some of these are called “committee” but their terms of reference make clear that they are working groups. These include:

• The Planning Committee provides advice to the Board on planning issues and large-scale development plans impacting on the greater Cambridge area. It concentrates on safeguarding heritage, landscape, green spaces and other public amenities.

• The Heritage Watch Group provides advice regarding protecting the heritage and historic buildings in the greater Cambridge area. It also leads on specific heritage projects and campaigns.

• The Cambridge & District Blue Plaques Committee carries out the work of selecting, erecting, celebrating and maintaining blue plaques.

Membership of all committees and working groups is provided in Appendix 1 and also on our website .

At all meetings of the Board, committees and working groups, if any of those present have a possible conflict of interest it is declared and, if necessary, that person is excluded from discussion on the relevant matter.

From trustees ensuring we are well governed, to committee members helping to protect Cambridge, to people counting butterflies, mowing grass, picking litter, helping in the office or opening

page 3 of 32

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE – BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT 2022-23

our historic buildings to the public. There is no way that we could carry out all of our charitable work without their help and support and we cannot thank them enough for all that they do for our charity.

Over 150 people volunteered their time during the year, some of whom have dedicated weeks of work for the charity. Further details of the work carried out by some our volunteers is described in the Achievements & Performance section of this report (pages 5-9).

We always need more volunteers and welcome anyone who can spare some time to do so.

Mission

Cambridge Past, Present & Future is the local charity protecting the beauty of Cambridge and its environment.

We are the only local charity that looks at the bigger picture of the development of Cambridge. Whether historic buildings, green spaces, nature, housing or infrastructure – we are passionate about all of it. Protecting, enhancing and celebrating all that’s good about our incredible city, and its surrounding areas.

We act as a voice of conscience for those who are responsible for greater Cambridge’s future. Ensuring that it moves forwards with respect for nature, history and the people who live here. No other local charity has as broad a reach or remit. No other organisation cares about the past, present and future of Cambridge the way we do.

Our sole purpose is to make sure that, no matter how Cambridge progresses over the coming years, decades and centuries, it remains just as beautiful and vital as it’s always been. To this end, we work with the people of Cambridge and other organisations to protect, enhance and celebrate everything that makes Cambridge special, for today and for generations to come.

Our mission is very simple (yet, at the same time, very complex) – to make sure the development of Cambridge is carried out responsibly. Improving this great place, for people and nature.

OUR STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES:

People . We will inspire people of all ages to get outdoors and help them to enjoy, learn about and get involved with their local environment, heritage and culture.

Natural heritage. We will protect the green setting of Cambridge and its most valuable landscapes and we will enhance and connect them for people and nature.

Built heritage . We will protect, celebrate and improve the important built heritage of the Cambridge area.

The operational focus of our work is in Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire District (greater Cambridge) but the areas of concern for our strategic planning work include Cambridgeshire; Peterborough-Stansted Corridor; and Cambridge-Oxford Corridor. We draw most of our service users and membership from Cambridge and a 20-mile radius.

ACTIVITIES & PUBLIC BENEFIT

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE 2022/23

The trustees have paid due regard to the published guidance from the Charity Commission on the operation of the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011.

CambridgePPF’s charitable objectives are to protect the amenities, green spaces, historic buildings, character and setting of Cambridge and its neighbourhood for the benefit of the public. This is achieved through the protection of the countryside and historic buildings we own, care for and open to the public; the education and events programmes we provide; and the work that we do encouraging the local planning authorities to protect and improve the historic character, public amenities and green setting of the City and the surrounding countryside and villages.

Cambridge is one of the fastest growing places in the UK, which is resulting in huge pressure for change. Being able to manage this change to benefit Cambridge’s environment, heritage and people is one of the greatest challenges facing our area.

Our charity’s green spaces provide a community space for people of all ages to enjoy the outdoors, experience nature and heritage and get exercise and fresh air. During the pandemic people became aware that this was not simply a “nice to have” but essential, and in some cases lifesaving. “Over 40 years of research shows that experiences of nature are linked to a remarkable breadth of positive health outcomes…including improved physical health, improved mental wellbeing, greater social wellbeing, and positive health behaviours” (Shanahan et al, Nature Journal, 6, (2016)).

CambridgePPF owns, cares for and opens to the public Wandlebury Country Park, Coton Countryside Reserve, Bourn Windmill, Hinxton Watermill and Cambridge Leper Chapel. For example, Wandlebury Country Park receives 120,000 visits per year. We provide parking, paths, toilets, information, seats, picnic areas, informal play and other informal visitor facilities for community use and a Warden service and volunteers to assist visitors and ensure that facilities are clean and safe.

CambridgePPF provides a programme of educational, cultural and recreational events for the local community. In 2022 we were pleased to be able to provide 202 such activities for the public. We also welcomed 36 school visits and educated 1,159 children. Our volunteer-run healthy walking scheme provided popular weekly walks at Wandlebury.

The community of the greater Cambridge area (300,000 population) benefits from our work by having free access to green spaces and historic buildings for their well-being and enjoyment. The community also benefits from the work we do to protect the amenities, green spaces, historic buildings, character and setting of Cambridge and its neighbourhood for the benefit of the public – for example by preventing inappropriate development and lobbying for environmental improvements. Nature benefits from our work to protect and improve habitats. Participants in our activities (including volunteers) benefit from learning, social engagement, exercise and self-development.

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE – BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT 2022-23

PROTECTING GREATER CAMBRIDGE

The 2021 census results showed that the population of the East of England region was the fastest growing in the UK over the past 10 years (8.3%) and Cambridge was the fifth fastest growing council area in the UK (17.6% against a national average of 6.6%), South Cambs grew at 8.9%. Areas adjacent to greater Cambridge also grew very rapidly (Bedford 17.7%, Central Beds, 15.7% and Uttlesford 14.6%). Our councils have set out their plans for future growth, which indicate that we can expect similar, or even higher, levels of growth for the next 20 years. As well as construction for housing and business, this scale of growth is also driving proposals for new infrastructure such as roads, car parks, railways, water, sewerage and electricity. When combined with other forces, such as changes to the climate and agriculture, it means that the pressure on heritage, landscape and environment is intense.

It is vital that the views of local people and organisations like CambridgePPF are heard to ensure that growth is managed in a way which takes into account heritage, landscape and environmental issues. This has been a central theme of our work over the past year and has meant significant engagement with the Greater Cambridge Partnership, Cambridge City Council, South Cambridgeshire District Council, individual developers, government agencies, local groups and many others.

This advocacy work is incredibly time consuming and requires a degree of knowledge of the planning and development process. We are very fortunate to have an active group of volunteers, without who’s hard work, dedication and support our influence would be significantly less. They are supported by a part-time qualified planning officer and our chief executive.

Planning Watchdog

We monitor and review planning policies and planning applications that would have a significant impact on the greater Cambridge area. We respond when we are concerned about their impact on heritage, landscape, environment and quality of life. During the year we responded formally to 46 (2021/22 = 48) applications, consultations or proposals, including for the relocation of Cambridge sewage works and several proposals for large new laboratories.

Local Plans

A new Local Plan for our area is being developed. During the year we have continued to engage with the planning service in relation to the evidence base for green space, environment and heritage.

Transport

There is a plethora of transport infrastructure projects being progressed, some of which have the potential to damage the setting of Cambridge and impact on the landscapes that we help care for. We have continued to be very active in objecting to the proposed routes for two controversial bus roads through open countryside linking Cambourne to Cambridge and the A11 to Cambridge and we have been lobbying for less damaging alternative routes. We have also been working hard to ensure that smaller schemes are designed to be sympathetic to heritage and the environment.

NATURE & GREEN SPACES

The population of the wider Cambridge area is planned to grow by 30% in a 20-year period, at the same time as nature is in significant decline. In order to respond, we know that we will need to increase the amount of green space available for nature and people. We are doing this through our ongoing work and individual projects on our own land, as well as working in partnership with other like-minded organisations and also by advocating for changes in policy and funding. This year was another really busy year for our charity.

Nature recovery at Wandlebury

Following the purchase of 25 acres of farmland next to Wandlebury in 2021, we have continued to transform it to benefit nature and people. 21 acres were sown with chalk meadow seed mix and staff and volunteers worked hard to keep newly planted trees alive during the summer drought. A new 1km perimeter path was opened along with a new picnic area. Work also took place to prepare a new dog exercise area.

page 6 of 32

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE – BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT 2022-23

We formally opened ‘The Gallops’, adding 2 acres to the park and we created a new a viewpoint overlooking Cambridge. With the help of volunteers we also created a new pollinator garden in the former walled garden.

Coton Rewilding Project

We are working to improve four fields at Coton Countryside Reserve to benefit nature and people. We completed our project to transform the Lost Meadows and Madingley Paddock and we opened them both for public enjoyment. We carried out work to transform the habitats in Manor Field, this included installing fencing and gates and planting new fruit trees. We have also progressed plans for a new water treatment wetland at the Reserve, in partnership with Anglian Water.

Restoring Barnwell Meadows

We are working to improve the ecological value of 3 acres of meadow in Cambridge, next to the Leper Chapel. During the year we were able to start grazing the meadows using cattle from nearby Ditton Meadows. We also began improving the botanical value by trialling different methods of increasing wildflowers, this including planting individual plants, stripping turf and laying meadow turf and rotavating and seeding. We also planted a new holly hedge in partnership with a local youth group.

Cambridge Nature Network (CNN)

Through this project we are working in partnership with other like-minded organisations, landowners and the local community to create a nature recovery network for the Cambridge area in order to increase the quality and amount of habitat for the benefit nature and people. In 2019 we secured funding to collect data and to identify and map a nature recovery network and in 2021 a vision was launched to have significant areas of downland, fens, meadows and woodlands around Cambridge, to achieve an ambition to double nature by 2050.

This large scale and visionary initiative is inspiring support and, as one of the lead partners, CambridgePPF has helped to secure and manage significant multi-year grants, including from the government’s Green Recovery Programme and Natural England’s Nature Recovery Programme. These grants are enabling the delivery of 20 projects between 2021 and 2023, to create new or better habitats and to inspire people to get involved. They range from converting 150 acres of farmland in the Gog Magog Hills, to expanding country parks and nature reserves, to small projects on school grounds in the city. The range of organisations and people involved in these projects includes local charities, local authorities, community groups, local landowners, schools, contractors and individual people helping to plant trees and sow seeds. Funding has enabled the partnership to employ a CNN Officer to help with project management, co-ordination and promotion and they are employed by CambridgePPF, a Land Advisor has also been employed by the local Wildlife Trust. During the year the majority of grant-aided projects were completed.

Managing for nature and people

Our Estate Team and volunteers carried out a range of nature conservation tasks at Wandlebury, Coton Reserve and Barnwell Meadows, this included laying hedges, woodland restoration, scrub control, pond management, meadow management and litter picking. During the year volunteers kindly gave 3,257 hours of work (2021/22 = 3,935 due to some mass tree planting events).

Our Wandlebury Woodland Restoration Project focussed on thinning and coppicing a 1-acre block of woodland and additionally we employed contractors to take down several large trees that had died and were unsafe.

The extreme heat and drought that we experienced during summer 2022 put many of our habitats under extreme stress, including killing many older trees and some of the treelings that we had planted the previous winter (despite our valiant efforts to water them). At Coton Reserve, it was so dry that the only water flowing in the Bin Brook came from the sewage treatment works. This type of extreme weather makes our work both harder and more necessary.

We use animal grazing at Wandlebury to improve the ecological quality of our important chalk grasslands. Maintaining our small ageing herd of Highland cattle continues to absorb resources and during the year we

page 7 of 32

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE – BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT 2022-23

began a trial using a grazier’s Belted Galloway cattle to inform how we eventually replace the Highlands. Additionally, winter grazing of sheep at Wandlebury was carried out using a small herd of rare-breed Norfolk Horns supplied by a local grazier.

Partnership Working

As well as the Cambridge Nature Network, we continue to engage with other initiatives and organisations including the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Local Nature Partnership and the Cam Valley Forum.

HEALTH & WELLBEING

We manage Wandlebury Country Park and Coton Countryside Reserve to act as “green lungs” for the Cambridge area, providing a space for people of all ages to enjoy the outdoors, experience nature and heritage and get exercise and fresh air. Wandlebury received around 120,000 visits during the year. Across all our sites we have cut and maintained approximately 9km of footpaths. We installed 3 additional picnic benches at Wandlebury and 1 at Coton and we replaced a further 8 picnic benches. We installed 4 new seats at Wandlebury.

At Wandlebury we raised funds to purchase an off-road mobility scooter for visitors with limited mobility and we made it available for free hire. We continue to provide an 8am-to-dusk Warden service to support visitors, as well as maintaining public facilities such as toilets, car parks, picnic benches, informal play and information.

Our successful Healthy Walk programme at Wandlebury provided nearly 50 walks during the year with a total attendance of 1,378.

Wild Minds @ Wandlebury was a new initiative this year. An 8-week teenage mental health referral programme funded by the local council and delivered by a partner organisation. After several years enjoying the health benefits of working in our woods, we were sad that the brain injury charity Headway was unable to continue its woodworking programme.

HERITAGE & HISTORIC BUILDINGS

Bourn Windmill

A routine maintenance inspection in 2019 revealed rot in the cross beams that support the windmill, which is one of the oldest and most important in the UK. This triggered a significant project to Save Bourn Windmill from collapse. The first phase in 2020-22, enabled us to employ a professional team of conservation experts to make the mill safe and design a schedule of repairs. Thanks to substantial grants from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic England we were able to carry out the second phase of the project in 2022-23. Bakers of Danbury were employed as the main contractor and over a 6-month period their skilled team were able to lift the mill into the air, remove the supporting beams, replace them with new ones and then lower the mill back down. This then enabled a number of smaller works to take place, including restoring the sails and refitting them. The aim has been to get the mill re-opened in time for National Mills Weekend in May 2023. Our project to save the windmill also includes working with the local community to make information about the mill more accessible to more people, and we have been working in partnership with CambsACRE to deliver this element of the project. The project is scheduled to be completed in July 2023.

Although the mill was scaffolded and closed during the year, our volunteers have helped to run hard-hat tours and were busy helping to raise awareness of the plight of the mill and raising funds.

Cambridge Leper Chapel

Following the opening of the Chisholm Trail we have continued to work with Cambridgeshire County Council regarding the completion of the project, including the seeding of areas that were disturbed by the construction so that there is a new, step-free, access to the Chapel. Part of the project involved providing a security fence for a neighbouring residential property, this couldn’t be installed on the boundary line due to trees, so during the year we sold a narrow strip of land to the neighbours to formalise a new boundary and dispose of a liability to the charity.

page 8 of 32

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE – BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT 2022-23

We are very grateful to volunteers for opening the Chapel on a regular basis, so that visitors were able to explore the interior and learn about the building’s 900 years of history. They have also been keeping on top of regular cleaning and grounds maintenance.

Hinxton Watermill

Our watermill volunteers ran six popular open days on Sundays during the summer, operating the waterwheel and providing guided tours. The mill volunteers and our Estate Team have carried out regular maintenance tasks. We re-opened discussions with Wellcome Trust regarding a new weir to reduce flood risk.

Historic buildings at Wandlebury

We continue to carry out running repairs and maintenance on the historic buildings and structures at Wandlebury, including the Iron-Age ditch, driveway bridge, courtyard, garden walls and stable block.

Heritage Watchdog

We monitor and review planning applications and respond when we are concerned about their impact on historic and locally important buildings or conservation areas. During the year we responded to 26 (2021/22 = 18) applications, consultations or proposals including new shopfronts in the city centre, redevelopment of the Romsey Labour Club, solar panels on the roof of Kings College Chapel and a plethora of digital LCD advertising screens located in conservation areas.

Conservation Area Appraisals & Historic Buildings

In recent years, our volunteers have been helping the local council’s conservation teams by updating Conservation Area Appraisals and nominating buildings for the local heritage list. During the year we have focused on pressing the councils to actually register the buildings and approve the appraisals, so that the work of our volunteers is taken through to conclusion, before we do further work.

Cambridge’s Market Square

For several years we have been campaigning for improvements to Cambridge’s Market Square. There is now an acceptance that improvements are needed and Cambridge Council is taking forward feasibility work. During the year we fed into consultations on this project.

Cambridge & District Blue Plaque Scheme

In 2018 we took over the Cambridge Blue Plaques scheme, which has been run by enthusiastic volunteers since being established in 2000. Blue plaques are installed on buildings to recognise significant people or events. A plaque was erected in Great Abington for the astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle and we progressed plans for several other plaques. Our plaque manufacturer went out of business, so we have been researching a replacement.

EDUCATION & EVENTS

Our school programme is delivered from an Education Centre at Wandlebury and mainly serves primary schools in the greater Cambridge area. We focus on delivering outdoor curriculum-based learning for science/nature and Iron-Age history. In 2021, we welcomed visits from 20 schools (2021 = 20 and 2020 = 0), involving 1,159 school children (2021 = 486). School feedback scores were an excellent 9 out of 10.

Our school programme was significantly disrupted by the pandemic and is still yet to recover. We have struggled to recruit field teachers to replace those that left in the pandemic, and this has limited our teaching capacity, meaning that the number of children being taught is much lower than before the pandemic. Due to the inflation crisis, schools are also grappling with a significant increase in the cost of coach hire.

Our public events programme covers a wide range of educational and well-being activities including open days, guided walks, children’s activities, cultural activities such as theatre and dance, re-enactments and community events. These are delivered by our staff, volunteers or contractors or by other organisations working in partnership with us. In 2022, we organised 98 (2021 = 82) face-face public event sessions and we also partnered with other organisations to provide 104 sessions at our properties (2021 = 13). In addition, through

page 9 of 32

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE – BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT 2022-23

the Cambridge Nature Network Officer we organised a successful Cambridge Nature Festival with over 80 activities taking place. As part of the festival, we engaged 500 people from harder to reach communities in nature-based activities, through a commissioning project.

COMMUNICATION & SUPPORT

People’s use of online services is continually evolving, and we are monitoring this and adapting accordingly. For example, people increasingly use Google Maps and Google Search to find information about Wandlebury Country Park, rather than visiting our website. Correspondingly we make sure that the information about Wandlebury on Google is as good as it can be. We work hard to ensure that our website is kept fresh and interesting and it is the main way that people give money to our charity.

We have increased our following on our three twitter feeds, Facebook and Instagram. A cost-effective monthly e-news now reaches around 3,800 people (previously 3,000) and we continue to print our bi-annual member’s magazine. We were grateful for the help from volunteers with the production, writing, editing, proof-reading and all aspects of mailing out.

We have also been able to promote our work and charitable causes via coverage in the local print media, and staff and volunteers were also interviewed by local tv and radio. Our campaigns to Save Bourn Windmill and Save the Coton Green Corridor both generated significant media attention.

For the first time in two years we were able hold our Annual Meeting in person, at the David Attenborough building. It was great to have a well-attended event with a lively audience to discuss the Cambridge Nature Network with our panel of experts.

Efforts to retain memberships and update fundraising information records continue and we began a procurement process to replace our CRM system.

At Wandlebury we refreshed visitor information, extended pop-up catering to 4 days per week (previously 2) and installed a contactless donation point; all with the aim of encouraging park visitors to contribute financially to the charity.

We reviewed our brand strategy and value proposition with the help of an external consultancy. One output from this is a high-quality brochure detailing the charity’s mission and work, to enable us to better communicate with supporters and stakeholders. Another output, is that we refreshed our strapline which is now ‘ Your local charity protecting the beauty of Cambridge and its environment. ’ We also added ‘ Protecting local heritage and nature ’ to our logo.

Towards the end of the year, we appointed a freelance communications assistant, this is helping us to improve the design and quality of our communications and free up staff time to focus on fundraising.

ORGANISATIONAL RESOURCES

Ray Hackett retired from our Warden Team but enjoyed his work so much he has continued to help us in a voluntary capacity. We replaced Ray’s part-time post with a full-time one in order to give us the extra capacity we need to manage the increased amount of land under our care. During the year we replaced our Head of Finance & Operations. Our Fundraising Manager had to take extended leave during the year and has done an amazing job of both raising funds and fighting serious illness.

At our annual meeting three trustees finished their terms and were thanked for their service, including our Chair, Ros Aveling, who was succeeded by Karen Rothwell. Dr Cordelia Langford was elected as a new trustee and Caroline Stenner was co-opted onto the board.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

We know about the effect that climate change is having on the environment and wildlife. Nature is in crisis and it requires bold action. As more of us have become aware of our responsibility to the planet, the rally cry of ‘thinking globally’ has to mean ‘acting locally’. Actions, not words. And the Covid pandemic has only served to highlight how much we depend on nature for our physical and mental health, and how important local places are to us.

Despite global insecurity and a cost-of-living crisis, CambridgePPF sees an opportunity to re-set our relationship with the natural world so that nature’s recovery benefits the planet, our wellbeing and our economy. There are things we can do – real, practical things that will make a difference for all of us. We have the skill and the will, and we are working hard to secure the financial support, so that we can:

• Reduce river pollution, help nature and capture carbon, by creating a large new wetland at Coton Reserve.

• Provide more green space, by converting farmland into new habitats at Coton Reserve.

• Help deliver the Cambridge Nature Network’s vision of doubling habitats for nature and people by 2050.

• Improve CambridgePPF’s green spaces to meet the needs of a growing, ageing and more diverse community.

• Maximise the benefits of CambridgePPF’s green spaces for nature, climate mitigation and wellbeing.

• Repair the Leper Chapel and transform it into an accessible, well-used community building.

• Ensure our two mills continue to grind corn, as they have done for centuries.

• Protect and restore the historic buildings and archaeology at Wandlebury.

• Inspire more people to get outdoors and connect with their local environment, heritage and culture.

• Influence the future development of our area, working to protect the best of Cambridge’s landscapes, ecology and heritage for future generations.

• Increase CambridgePPF’s capacity to do all of the above, to the highest possible standards.

One particular challenge we will face over the next 18 months is that CambridgePPF is likely to be participating in at least one major public inquiry into the proposed construction of two new bus roads across miles of open countryside. This will absorb our limited staff resources at a time when we are also working to deliver a programme of exciting projects for nature and people. We will need to find ways to do both.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Results for the year

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters this has been another very positive year for the charity. Increased funds meant we were able to significantly increase the amount we spend on our charitable work, in particular saving Bourn Windmill and improving our green spaces for nature. There was a small operational surplus but overall our funds reduced by £197k (2022 increase £1.778m) due to a fall in in the value of our investments at the end of the year.

Our operational and other activities have three main elements*:

i) Income substantially increased to £956k (2022 £887k). Donations, bequests and grants increased by 19% to £424k (2022 £356k) of which £312k (2022 £304k) was restricted income. Expenditure increased substantially by 28% to £907k (2022 £711k). Of this expenditure, £274k (2022 £206k) was funded by restricted project

page 11 of 32

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE – BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT 2022-23

income. Therefore, net income before investment gains (our operational activities including restricted funds) was a £49k surplus of which £37k was restricted (2022 £175k surplus of which £98k was restricted).

ii) Losses on investment properties on revaluation were £50k (2022 £nil) Our investment properties are classified as “strategic” as they are in the main associated with our heritage properties. Whist they generate some 20% of our income they are not purely held for investment purposes and maintaining them is expensive.

iii. Losses/ Gains on our other investments were losses of £222k (2022 £159k gains)

Global events in the year end have meant markets have been particularly volatile. Because we receive a smoothed average 4% drawdown each year, the income that we receive from our investments is relatively well protected from short-term declines in the value of our investments. This is vital for funding the charity’s work and is shown as investment income and accounted for 15% of our income.

[*For comparison purposes excluded above are, capital donations of £26k (2022 £677k) for The Land for Nature Appeal, The Callan Estate legacy (2022 £767k) and grant funds of £87k (2022 £172k) passed on to partner organisations for work carried out by them].

Reserves Policy

The management of the charity’s funds is extremely important, and we continually review the level and why we hold them in order to inform our financial strategy. They comprise:

Fixed Asset Reserve Fund £1.190m (2022 £1.202m)

This represents our fixed assets which comprise our heritage sites and other fixed assets that cannot be spent. However, they are also our biggest liability (to maintain and preserve) which is unrecognised in these accounts. As can be seen from the table below, a large proportion of our costs are for the management and maintenance of our estates.

Strategic Property Reserve £5.480m (2022 £5.530m)

As described above this represents our properties that are in the main associated or ancillary to our heritage sites.

General Reserves £3.142m (2022 £3.311m)

These are what we consider our “free” reserves, and our policy is to retain approximately £300k in liquid funds for working capital and invest the balance on a medium to high risk strategy to generate income to fund the charity’s work. At the end of the year we were holding a larger than usual amount of cash, £255k of this is restricted funding not yet spent and £150k was pending movement into high interest accounts in order to generate income to support our work.

Restricted Funds £255k (2022 £218k)

These are funds where the use is restricted in accordance with the donor’s wishes (details on page 30).

Leper Chapel & Barnwell Meadows Fund £106k (2022 £107k)

In 2019 we received a lease premium which we ring fenced and is gradually being drawn down to fund long term improvements to the Chapel, meadows and surrounding area.

Estate Improvement Fund £99k (2022 £100k)

We established this fund to cover estate improvement costs where income was received in 2020-21 but expenditure will occur in subsequent years. There have been delays in using this fund as our staff resources have been deployed on other time sensitive projects.

page 12 of 32

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE – BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ REPORT 2022-23

The Callan Fund £766k (2022 £767k)

A designated fund established from the legacy of the estate of the late Robin Callan to be used for protecting and maintaining the heritage value of Grantchester tearooms and supporting the charity’s work to protect the countryside and improve it for people and nature.

Financial Position and plans

Whilst our financial position has strengthened in the last four years our free reserves have not increased significantly. On the surface we might appear to be in a reasonable financial position but in reality our free reserves and assets act like an endowment fund and they generated 35% of the charity’s income during the year. Without this income we would not be able to care for the heritage assets in our stewardship. For this reason, we cannot spend our free reserves unless we can first secure other sources of income.

Raising sufficient funds remains a significant challenge to cover both the necessary operating costs of the charity and to meet the increasing needs of greater Cambridge for genuinely sustainable growth and more and better green space. This is a challenge that is made more difficult by rising costs.

Finally, it is worth saying that aside from the long-term financial liabilities of caring for heritage there is another figure that is missing from the financial statements and that is the value of the time volunteers give to the charity. We recognise this donated effort with huge thanks, it is immeasurable and invaluable and means that our impact is considerably more than the expenditure we record.

Risk Statement

The Board regularly reviews the major risks to which the charity is exposed, both operationally and financially, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage exposure to any risks that may significantly affect the charity.

The most significant financial risk for the charity is the challenge of maintaining and growing the dependable, unrestricted income required for the long-term care of our natural and built heritage assets and to maintain at least a break-even operational position. There is monthly, quarterly and annual financial monitoring of

page 14 of 32

the position and we are developing a strategy to address this risk further as part of a rolling 5-year Business Plan.

Grants, Donations & Legacies

CambridgePPF is very grateful for the generous support towards its costs. The donations by our members, the public and a number of charitable trust contributions and grants have enabled our charity to carry out the significant amount of work that is summarised in this report.

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditors

So far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each trustee has taken all the steps that he/she ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make himself/herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

We have audited the financial statements of Cambridge Past, Present & Future (the parent charitable company) and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102. The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

• ⚫ give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2023, and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;

• ⚫ have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• ⚫ have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on Cambridge Past, Present & Future's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the board of trustees' report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

• the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

Responsibilities of trustees

We have been appointed under the Companies Act and report in accordance with that Act. As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on in the trustees' report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the annual financial statements from our general commercial and company specific experience, through discussion with the trustees (as required by auditing standards), and from inspection of the charitable company's regulatory correspondence, and we discussed with the trustees the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indication to non-compliance throughout the audit; the audit team are deemed both competent and capable of identifying non-compliance with rules and regulations.

The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the annual financial statements varies considerably. Firstly, the charitable company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the annual financial statements including financial reporting legislation and taxation legislation, and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related annual account items. Secondly, the charitable company is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on the amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance non-compliance with sector specific regulations. We assessed the risk of fraud in the financial statements through discussion with management and from our experience of the charitable company. We communicated identified fraud risk areas throughout our team and remained alert to any indication of fraud throughout the audit. In particular, we assessed the potential impact of the global pandemic known as Covid-19 on the risk of fraud. We did not identify any instances of fraud during the course of our audit.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Through these procedures, we did not become aware of any actual or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect noncompliance with all laws and regulations.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s members and trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

CAMBRIDGE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. ENTITY INFORMATION

The charity is incorporated in England and is a company limited by guarantee, and does not have share capital. The registered office is Wandlebury Ring, Gog Magog Hills, Babraham, Cambridge CB22 3AE.

2. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments, including investment property, and in accordance Financial Reporting Standard 102 – 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102'), and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 2019) and the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling.

Cambridge Past, Present and Future meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

(b) Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Charity will continue trading for the foreseeable future. The trustees are satisfied that available sources of finance and future funding income are sufficient to enable the charity to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due. In particular the trustees have considered the impact of COVID-19; though there are inevitable uncertainties they believe there will be no material adverse impact on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

(c) Basis of consolidation

The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings at 31 March using acquisition accounting. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), in the case of a combination which is in substance a gift to the parent charity, the parent charity recognises that it has made a gain, and that gain is recognised as ‘other income’ in the consolidated SoFA

( d) Income recognition

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset rather than cash or financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment advisor of the dividend yield on the investment portfolio.

(e) Expenditure recognition

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 settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably .

All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis. All expenses including support and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings as described in note 7.

(n) Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due

(o) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

(p) Leasing commitments

Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.
