The Dulwich Society

Annual Report for the year

1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021

Registered Charity number 234192

1

Objectives and Activities

Purposes

The Dulwich Society is an unincorporated association registered as a charity on 1 May 1964. Its constitution was adopted on 12 March 1964 and was last revised on 7 May 2019. A revision is due to be approved in 2022.

The Society’s objectives are to foster and safeguard the amenities of Dulwich, both in the interests of its residents and the wider local community of which it is a part, and to increase awareness of the varied character that makes the area so special.

The Society represents all parts of Dulwich, North, South, East and West in the London Boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth.

Further details of the Society’s aims and objectives are at:

https://www.dulwichsociety.com/society/about-the-dulwich-society

Main Activities

In planning their activities, the Trustees have regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

The Society has several sub-committees which actively seek improvements in public transport infrastructure and traffic (for car drivers, cyclists and pedestrians), architecture and planning, licensing, trees, gardens, wildlife habitats and nature/species conservation, and understanding of local history.

The Society comments regularly on Council planning applications and is also a consultee for the Dulwich Estate on all changes to properties within the Estate’s Scheme of Management. We encourage change, and welcome good design appropriate to its setting, but actively defend Dulwich against the pressures of inappropriate development.

The Society has a policy of supporting additional tree planting on streets and in public open spaces and organises regular local history talks and walks. The Society has successfully submitted project ideas for using Southwark Cleaner Greener Safer funds to enhance the Dulwich environment and improve local safety, securing Council funding to assist in local restoration projects. In 2021, this included funds to restore the hedging at Dulwich Library.

Policy on Grant Making

The Society’s resources allow it to make small grants to local projects which meet its objectives, for example improvements to the paths in local woods and parks and funding of trees, benches and information boards. The Society’s Policy on Grant-Making is here:

https://www.dulwichsociety.com/info/funds-for-local-projects

Contribution made by Volunteers

Volunteers play an essential part in the running of the Society. There are over 80 volunteers who sit on various sub-committees and deliver the Journal which is issued 4 times a year.

Main Achievements

Membership

Membership of the Dulwich Society at the end of 2021 was 1174 households. 68 new members were gained and 42 lost during the year. Over 90% of members pay by direct debit or standing order and in the financial year 2020-2021, £2,378.26 was claimed in Gift Aid.

Donations

During 2021, the Dulwich Society made grants and donations of between £100 and £2,100 to the following projects:

Links and Partnerships

The Society works closely with local councillors and relevant officers of the London Borough of Southwark and with the Dulwich Estate.

During 2021, the Society was represented on the Advisory Committee of the Dulwich Estate's Scheme of Management by Sue Badman and Jeremy Prescott. In addition, James Thompson (chair of the Society since September 2021) represented the Stradella and Springfield Residents’ Association on the Advisory Committee. Sue Badman’s tenure on the Advisory Committee ended on 31 December 2021 and since 1 January 2022, James Thompson and Jeremy Prescott have represented the Society on the Advisory Committee. Society Officers meet with representatives of the Dulwich Estate bi-monthly on non Scheme of Management matters.

The Society also has links with a number of other third party organisations, including:

Media and Communications

The Society uses its media and communications outlets to communicate with members, to disseminate information from other organisations but above all to improve the amenities of Dulwich.

The website has been recently upgraded with major improvements and the quarterly Journal and monthly eNewsletter have excellent feedback and engagement.

The Twitter accounts are growing and receive good engagement, being a source of enquiries and also reports of issues in the community, e.g. fly-tipping around an electrical recycling bin in Dulwich Village. This allows the Dulwich Society to help improve the situation. The main Society account (@DulwichSociety) has 2,705 followers. It highlights Dulwich Society and local community activities and also relays information from Southwark Council, the Dulwich Estate and central Government. Our local history account (@DulwichHistory) has 2,676 followers and tweets daily on items of local historical interest, usually with images. Our gardens account (@DulwichGarden) provides information on local gardens and environmental matters and has 348 followers.

On Instagram, the Society supports local events, shops and small businesses.

Local History

The Society installed a listening post adjacent to the Edward Alleyn statue in the Old College Garden in October 2021. This has proved to be a great success with over 70 members attending the official opening. Another success was the relocation under cover of the historic Dulwich Postal Cart which has now been moved to the Alleyn Park sorting office and can be seen in the waiting area.

Members of the Local History group have traced the historic Dulwich Manor and Camberwell parish boundary markers, and the results of their research, together with a map of the locations, was published in the Journal. Articles based on research on local streets and personalities have continued to be published regularly.

The Local History group continues to receive regular enquiries covering a wide range of local history subjects, from the former Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher’s, house to the history of the Dulwich Court Hotel on College Road and how Zenoria Street obtained its name.

Working in conjunction with Bell House, the group monthly Zoom talks on a variety of local history subjects remain popular. They have a good-sized audience and are reaching further afield with attendees from Europe and the US. Subjects have included the areas around Court Lane and Woodwarde Road, Dulwich Radicals, the Springfield Estate, Dulwich’s European residents and the Friern Manor Estate. Over the year the talks raised over £5,000 for local charities.

The group was involved with the temporary relocation of the historic stocks sign from a building site to the Burial ground and is moving forward with translation of the medieval court rolls – an article on them appeared in the Journal.

The local history Twitter account (@DulwichHistory) continues to bring Dulwich’s local history to a wider audience and regularly receives around 155,000 impressions per month.

Gardens

Dulwich and its neighbourhood are a green oasis bejewelled by its gardens, and the Gardens Sub-Committee has supported gardening, “green” and related activities in the area.

Each Spring, the Society publishes a comprehensive brochure “ Dulwich Gardens open for charity ”, with details of 30 to 40 local gardens that are open to the public during the year. This is sent to all members of the Society. In 2021, this was in a cut-down version to mitigate the financial cost as visits and advertising were reduced because of the pandemic.

Garden openings are publicised through the brochure, the Society’s monthly eNewsletter (with a special edition in 2021) and selective Tweets.

Because of Covid, the annual Spring talk in 2021 by Nick Bailey, was moved to a Zoom version in association with Bell House. There were over 100 guests and a surplus on the talk went to fund Bell House’s wildlife pond. A coach trip is planned for 2022.

The Gardens Sub-Committee liaises with the Dulwich Estate, the London Wildlife Trust (which looks after Sydenham Hill Wood) and the Trees and Wildlife Sub-Committees on green matters. In 2021 LWT completed a small bridge over the Ambrook in Sydenham Hill Wood funded by the Society and has supported LWT in planning and fund-raising for a major programme of footpath improvement in 2022.

Traffic and Environment

During 2021, there was a major consultation in the London Borough of Southwark about the introduction of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, (LTNs) affecting the Dulwich area. This proved a controversial issue and the Dulwich Society provided a forum for frank discussion. Whilst remaining neutral on the introduction of LTNs, the Society has encouraged its members to ensure their views were taken into account through the London Borough of Southwark consultation exercise. The Traffic and Environment Sub-Committee has also been paying attention to public transport and disability access issues.

Planning and Architecture

The Dulwich Estate Scheme of Management operates a system of carefully considered and well-informed secondary planning controls which have enabled Dulwich to maintain its distinctive village character over time, whilst continuing to identify as a leafy green oasis located close to the urban centre of London. The Scheme of Management Development Guidelines cover all items affecting the external appearance of a property (and its grounds) and the amenity of neighbours. The Dulwich Society review applications to the Scheme of Management, which have increased markedly to 231 in 2021, from 160 in 2020. Recent projects have included a high number of garden rooms, extensions, loft conversions, heat pumps and photovoltaic panels. The Planning and Architecture Sub-Committee reviews these applications remotely, before members of the group meet monthly to discuss and formulate comments, with informal site visits where necessary. Membership of the group comprises both those with a professional background in architecture and/or planning and those with local knowledge. Comments on the individual aspects of an application are noted as ‘No objection’ or ‘Objection’, in which case a reason is given. These comments are advisory to the Scheme of Management. Objections are referred to the Estate’s consultant. Where possible, issues are resolved by the Estate in discussions with the applicant and

5

others. In the event of failure to reach an agreed solution, the matter is referred to the Management Committee of the Scheme of Management for a decision.

Some of the major developments the group has commented on across Dulwich include:

The Southwark Plan was adopted on 23 February 2022, setting the overarching strategy for managing growth and development across the borough for the next 15 years. Southwark’s revised Heritage Supplementary Planning Document was adopted in October 2021.

Wildlife

The Wildlife Sub-Committee contains a range of experts on local wildlife and keeps members of the Society informed through the Journal, website and eNewsletter about reported sightings and educational and recreational activities such as those provided by the London Wildlife trust. The Wildlife Sub-Committee liaises with local and national wildlife organisations and recommends projects worthy of funding. It also comments on planning applications in terms of their impact on local wildlife. The Wildlife Sub-Committee monitors local wildlife. In 2021, there were reports of a decline in Blackbirds and Thrushes, with populations of Goldfinches and garden fed birds holding up.

Jackdaws are thriving as are Parakeets and Woodpigeons. Raptors such as Sparrow Hawks Buzzards and Peregrine Falcons are increasingly reported. However there were no reported sightings of hedgehogs in the past year.

The bio-health of the park lake is now good with breeding water birds including Little Grebes and good hatches of several species of Dragon and Damsel Flies. However along with the national reports butterflies had a poor year. The London Wildlife Trust continues to work hard with a team of volunteers to improve the quality of the woods for wildlife with path improvements, removal of non native species and protection of ground for recovery of native plant and fungus species.

Trees

The Trees Sub-Committee continues to promote the planting, maintenance and enjoyment of trees in Dulwich. Articles on tree-related topics are published regularly in the Society’s Journal.

As in 2020, it was not possible to hold a tree walk, but it is hoped to hold another one in 2022. At the invitation of Dulwich Park Friends, the Committee Chair produced (as part of the 2021 Dulwich Festival) a tree podcast, introducing many of the trees between the Old - - College Gate and the Park Café: https://dulwichparkfriends.org.uk/2021/05/26/dulwich park podcasts-as-part-of-the-dulwich-festival-2021/.

6

Southwark Council’s “Cleaner Greener Safer” funding for 2020–21 supported the planting of hedging in the Dulwich Library garden, which was planted in January 2021. The Chair is in discussion with Southwark Council regarding further planting in the Library garden.

Two meetings were held with staff of the Dulwich Estate to discuss options for tree planting in the Estate’s amenity areas.

The Trees Sub-Committee continued to follow the campaign to save two oak trees near the Cox’s Walk footbridge (from which Camille Pissarro painted his well-known view of the former Lordship Lane railway station), threatened with removal because of concerns about the safety of the footbridge. The trees are still standing, having been made subject to a Tree Preservation Order. In early 2021, Southwark Council announced that they were commissioning consultants to “identify any means of reopening an accessible walkway over the gully, which will enable the two oak trees adjacent to the footbridge to stay in place”.

The Tree Committee continues to be available to advise residents on their tree problems via the email helpline trees@dulwichsociety.com

Licensing

The Society receives regular notification from Southwark Council Licensing Department of all premises licence applications for bars, restaurants and events in Dulwich Village and adjacent Wards. A small group of members examines each application and recommends to the Society’s Executive Committee as to whether the Society should make a representation to the Licensing Department. Inevitably, because of the pandemic, there were relatively few new premises licence applications during 2021. The Society made representations in relation to local restaurants, shops, fun fairs and festivals to ensure the interests of local residents are taken into account.

Details of new premises licence applications are issued in the Society’s monthly eNewsletter

Financial Review

The Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are due to be approved at the Society’s Annual General Meeting on 9 May 2022, follow this report.

Overall, the Society showed a surplus of £1,798 for the year, compared to the previous year’s figure of -£978.

Income was £25,859 in 2021 against £16,468 in 2020.

Expenditure was £19,711 in 2021 against £16,256 in 2020.

Donations and grants made in 2021 were £4,350 against £1,500 in 2020.

Accumulated Funds and Reserves Policy

The accumulated funds at 31 December 2021 totalled £44,406, mainly represented by bank and deposit balances. The annual expenditure of the Society depends in part on the cost of projects that are undertaken and grants made or committed in that year, with an underlying surplus in recent years before such expenditure. Given the wish to fund worthwhile projects as they arise and the uncertain nature of the advertising income which partially funds the Society’s quarterly journals, it is the Trustees’ policy to hold, as reserves, 12 months normal expenditure (currently some £20,000) together with a further £10,000 to cover unplanned major projects. In addition, the Trustees are reserving the unspent amount from the legacy received in 2016 for future local history projects, which they consider reflect the interests of the legatee, amounting to circa £5,000. These amounts total some £35,000. Reserves at 31 December 2021 were therefore in excess of this, and the Trustees continue to seek out worthwhile projects that meet the Society’s aims.

Principal Sources of Funding

The Society’s principal sources of funding are subscriptions (£11,837 in 2021), Gift Aid (£2,378 in 2021), advertising (£9,933 in 2021) and gardens open for charity advertising (£1,200 in 2021).

Investment Policy and Objectives

The Trustees seek to produce an acceptable financial return on the Society’s assets within an acceptable level of risk.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Dulwich Society is administered by an Executive Committee, comprising the Officers, (Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary), Sub-Committee Chairs and other roles such as Media and Communications Lead, Membership Secretary and Journal Editor, which meets every two months. Matters of detail are delegated to sub-committees - Planning and Architecture, Travel and Environment, Local History, Trees, Gardens, Wildlife and Licensing, which report to and whose chairs are members of the Executive Committee. All members of the Executive Committee are Trustees of the Dulwich Society on appointment.

In addition to the Executive Committee, the honorary office of President is elected at the Society’s Annual General Meeting. The President is not a Trustee.

All members of the Executive Committee are elected annually and must be nominated by two members of the Society. Any contested election is determined by ballot at the Annual General Meeting. The Executive Committee has the power to fill any vacancy occurring in between Annual General Meetings.

All members of the Executive Committee, Trustees and members of the sub-committees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits.

The Society is governed by a set of Rules which can be found here:

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

31 DECEMBER 2021

THE DULWICH SOCIETY

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Dulwich Society

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Dulwich Society (the Society) for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Society 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 trustee's accounts carried out under s. 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under s. 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

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:

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.

THE DULWICH SOCIETY Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of accounts

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

1.2 Funds structure

The Society's funds are unrestricted.

1.3 Accumulated Funds and Reserves Policy

The accumulated funds at 31st December 2021 totalled £45,406, mainly represented by bank and deposit balances. The annual expenditure of the Society depends in part on the cost of projects that are undertaken and grants made or committed in that year, with an underlying surplus in recent years before such expenditure. Given the wish to fund worthwhile projects as they arise and the uncertain nature of the advertising income which partially funds the Society's quarterly journals, it is the Trustees' policy to hold, as reserves, 12 months normal expenditure (currently some £20,000) together with a further £10,000 to cover unplanned major projects. In addition, the Trustees are reserving the unspent amount from the legacy received in 2016 for future local history projects, which they consider reflect the interests of the benefactor, amounting to circa £5,000. These amounts total some £35,000. Reserves at 31st December 2021 were therefore in excess of this, and the trustees' continue to seek out worthwhile projects that meet the Society's aims and objectives.

1.4 Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of assets, less estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

1.5 Income and expenditure recognition

Subscription income and donations are accounted for as received by the charity.

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.

1.6 Value added tax

Value added tax is not recoverable by the Society, and as such is included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

THE DULWICH SOCIETY Notes to the accounts (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2021

2 Advertising

The Society accepts a limited amount of advertising in its quarterly newsletter to help defray the costs of production.

3 Dulwich Gardens Open for Charity advertising

The annual booklet is distributed in March each year and also accepts a limited amount of advertising to help defray the costs of production. In 2020, it was agreed to waive advertising income given the limited distribution of the brochure as a result of the Covid lockdown from March 2020.

4 Booklets & other publications

"The Home Front"

In 1995 the Society agreed to underwrite the costs of producing a booklet on the experiences of Dulwich during the war years. To date, the publication has resulted in a net profit to the Society of £2,440.

"Who Was Who in Dulwich"

In 2002 the Society agreed to underwrite the cost of the production. The net cost to the Society to date is £628.

"Pubs of Dulwich & Herne Hill"

In 2016 the Society agreed to share the costs of this publication with The Herne Hill Society. The net cost to the Society to date is £140.
