## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Claude & Margaret Pike Woodlands Trust is a Charity which was established on 14 April 1973 and is governed by a Trust Deed.  It is registered with the Charity Commission under reference number 266072. 

On 5 April 2010 the assets of the Claude and Margaret Pike Charity settlement, reference number 247657 were transferred into this Trust.  The two charities had been established by the same settlors, and both had general charitable objectives and the same trustees. 

The objects of the Trust are any such charitable purpose or purposes as the Trustees declare, including the following special objects: 

- 1 To protect, improve or foster an appreciation of the landscape, natural beauty and amenity of woodlands, copses, or other areas of land in the United Kingdom and the flora and fauna therein for the benefit of the public. 

- 2 To foster the growth of specimen trees and shrubs and the establishment of woodlands or copses which by their location will be an inspiration to man in the environment in which he lives and a demonstration of man’s faith in the future. 

The Trustees may also transfer assets to any incorporated charity or any officers of any unincorporated charity without being concerned to see the further application of any monies or property transferred. 

The Trustees administer the Trust jointly and they make all trust decisions. 

In planning the activities of the Trust, the Trustees kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at their Trustee meetings. 

The main focus of the Trustees’ activities is to manage the Trust’s properties at Heathercombe in such a way as to protect and enhance their amenity, wildlife and environmental value and to open the extensive gardens to the public so that they can enjoy the beautiful, tranquil environment of the valley. 

The Trustees are appointed by fellow Trustees.  The Trust’s governing document does not require the reelection of Trustees. 

No payments were made to the Trustees, except for the reimbursement of expenses, as shown in note 13. 

## **Procedures and Policy for Grant Making** 

There have been no changes in the policy or procedures for making grants. The Trustees respond to applications as they receive them. They continue to make grants in support of the Trust’s special environmental objects.

## **Claude & Margaret Pike Woodlands Trust** 

## Reference and Administrative Details 

## Year Ended 5 April 2021 

In connection with the merger of the Claude & Margaret Pike Charity with this Trust in April 2010, the Trustees agreed to apply that Charity’s funds in a manner consistent with the purposes of the Charity.  In exercising this Trust’s powers to make grants for such charitable purposes as the Trustees may declare, the Trustees intend that, in addition to supporting the Trust’s special environmental objects, they will be guided by the grant-making policy of the Charity, which was normally to make grants to organisations only for causes that are of potential benefit to people living in South Devon (especially in the Newton Abbot area), including causes that benefit their heritage, and normally to make grants to individuals only if they are 16 to 21 year old residents of South Devon for projects designed to expose them to challenges or experiences (especially overseas) that will stimulate them to play positive roles in the community as adults and where the Trustees feel that their grants will make a difference to the individuals’ ability to participate. 

The Trust approved charitable donations during the year to 10 organisations totalling £27,416. These were financed by interest and dividends received from investments.  The major donations were as follows: 

High Heathercombe CIC - £20,000 Dean & Chapter of Exeter Development Appeal - £2,500 Homeless in Teignbridge Support - £2,000 MED Theatre - £1,250 Stover Historic Landscape Trust - £750 British Red Cross - £500 

## **Achievements and Performance of the Trust** 

## _**Heathercombe Woodlands and Gardens**_ 

The Trust owns Heathercombe Woodlands in the parishes of Manaton and North Bovey in the Dartmoor National Park. These woodlands comprise approximately 76.1 hectares in Heathercombe valley, 9.5 hectares known as Badger (or Vogwell) Wood, 5.8 hectares known as Jay’s Grave Wood, 22.9 hectares known as Lower Langdon Wood and 6.7 hectares known as Gratnar Wood – a total of approximately 121 hectares. 

The woodlands are in an environmentally sensitive area adjacent to the open moor, and whilst much of the land is dedicated to commercial forestry, that in Heathercombe valley includes an arboretum with a large collection of interesting specimen trees and shrubs, woodland walks beside streams and ponds and a variety of garden areas. On Heatree Down there is an area of rough moorland grazing. Here and in the adjoining woodland there are several groups of Bronze Age hut circles and associated reeves. The woodlands in Heathercombe valley are traversed by the Two Moors Way (Eastern route) long distance public footpath and by a public bridleway to Grimspound. As a result many walkers pass through the woodlands. 

The Trustees manage Heathercombe Woodlands with a view to fulfilling the following objectives: 

- the protection and enhancement, in conjunction with good silvicultural practice, of the landscape and amenity value of the woodlands; 

- the advancement of wildlife conservation and biodiversity in the woodlands and adjacent environment; the development of Heathercombe arboretum and collections of plants of special horticultural interest; 

- the furtherance of public access to Heathercombe and appreciation of its flora, fauna, management and history; and 

- the maintenance and development of the footpaths, lakes, waterfalls, plantings and other amenities that enhance public interest and enjoyment of the woodland.

## **Claude & Margaret Pike Woodlands Trust** 

## Reference and Administrative Details 

## Year Ended 5 April 2021 

In April 2016 the Trustees declared their Statement of Policy and Objectives for the Management of Heathercombe Woodlands. Those parts of Heathercombe Woodlands that are dedicated to commercial forestry are managed by Fountains Forestry UK Limited in close consultation with the Trustees - as they have been since the 1960s. 

Following the felling of almost all of the conifer plantations in Heathercombe in the period since 2010 and the replanting with both broadleaved and conifer species, the landscape of the valley is beginning to take on its new appearance and habitat. Conifers are no longer the dominant species, the ‘garden’ areas beside the streams at the bottom of the valley that are opened to the public now being surrounded by native broadleaved species such as oak, birch and rowan. The wide variety of conifers planted on the higher slopes are going ahead well, notable the extraordinary natural regeneration of Sitka spruce on Newtake. Some expenditure was incurred during the year in weeding and protecting the young trees. 

Routine work on estate maintenance continued during the year, including the removal of windblown trees, the flailing and cutting of grass, the maintenance of paths and rides, the repair of fences and the care of young specimen trees and shrubs planted in the developing arboretum areas of Oak Park and the former Sitka Wood and the older arboretum and woodland garden areas. 

The open days planned for 29 March and the period from 10 May to 7 June had to be cancelled because of the Covid lockdown restrictions.  However the restrictions were relaxed to enable the gardens to be open between 14 June and 5 July as planned on the basis that all visits had to be pre-booked and paid for on the National Garden Scheme website with a maximum of 50 visitors in specified time slots. No refreshments could be offered but picnicking was allowed. This system was so successful and easy to manage that it was decided to open on this basis from 7 to 26 July. 

In total, the gardens were open for 34 days – only one short of the number originally planned. A total of 464 people visited the gardens, raising £2,320 for the NGS charities. 

## _**Heathercombe Brake: The High Heathercombe Centre**_ 

The Trust acquired Heathercombe Brake in 2000 and subsequently refurbished the purpose-built hostel on the property now known as the High Heathercombe Centre. The Centre is situated in a splendid elevated location above the woodlands and adjoining the open moor and is set in about 1.7 hectares of its own grounds. The Centre is managed on a charitable basis on behalf of the Trust by High Heathercombe CIC of which the directors are Penelope Holland, Gareth Keene, Tarn Lamb, Charlotte Oliver and John Pike. . 

The Covid restrictions meant that all the residential courses booked for the year had to be cancelled and the offer made to return all deposits. Two non-residential drug rehabilitation courses were permitted in November and December 2020. 

Tragically Mel Lamb died after a short illness on 13 July 2020. This was a huge loss. As manager of the Centre for twelve years Mell had worked tirelessly to bring thousands of people to Heathercombe to find peace, for reflection and for healing. She had worked to foster an ethos of earth care, fair shares and people care. She had also organised seven marvelous EDGE sculpture trails, bringing many artists and community groups to Heathercombe. 

Recognizing that High Heathercombe CIC would suffer the loss of almost all its income for an extended period the Trust made grants of £10,000 on 14 April and 1 July 2020. Mel Lamb was furloughed from the beginning of June until her death. Towards the end of August the CIC received a Business Support Grant of £10,000. With the benefit of the grants and unexpected reduction in costs the CIC remained in a stable financial situation during the year. The directors of the CIC decided to replace Mel Lamb with a residential housekeeper in a much more limited role than that undertaken by Mel, and an appointment was made with effect from 10 April 2021.

## _**South Heathercombe**_ 

The Trust’s South Heathercombe property, which it acquired in 2005, is a traditional Dartmoor long house dating back to the 15[th] century. It is occupied by the senior estate worker so that he can control activities in the valley and respond to emergencies. 

## **Financial Review, Investment Policy and Reserves** 

The Trust’s policy on reserves is to endeavour to ensure long term financial sustainability for the achievement of the Trust’s charitable objectives, and in particular the maintenance of Heathercombe woodlands and gardens, by holding sufficient reserves in the form of investments so that the annual income therefrom, combined with any income from the Trust's properties and commercial forestry activity, is sufficient to cover the Trust’s annual expenditure. The Trustees will regularly consider whether there is a need to revise this policy. 

The Trustees adopted a revised Investment Policy Statement in January 2017. This sets out the overall approach of the Trust to investments and the broad framework within which decisions are made concerning investments. The Trustees will keep under review the arrangements under which J M Finn & Co acts as the Trustees’ stockbroker/adviser. 

The accounts disclose net income of £472,349 (2020 net expenditure: £363,691). 

Total income received was £56,897 (2020: £66,478). Expenditure totalled £157,164 (2020: £175,140). 

The realised and unrealised gains and losses on the investment portfolio during the year amounted to a net surplus of £572,616 (2020: deficit £255,029). 

The closing share investment portfolio valuation at 5 April 2021 amounted to £2,344,855 (2020: £1,782,139) and cash deposits, providing interest, of £44,602 (2020 - £57,088). The income generated from portfolio and cash deposits held is currently adequate for the needs of the Trust. 

## **Future Plans** 

The Trustees will continue to manage the woodlands in and around Heathercombe in accordance with their April 2016 Statement of Policy and Objectives for the Management of Heathercombe Woodlands. This will focus in the coming years on the care of the young broadleaf and conifer trees planted since 2010 and on the wild flowers of Heathercombe. 

The Trustees plan to improve the information about the trees planted in the woodlands for the benefit of walkers on the footpaths running through Heathercombe and update the information on the Heathercombe website about the woodlands, gardens, wildlife and history of Heathercombe. 

The Trustees will continue to develop the woodland gardens and ways in which the public can enjoy them. The Trustees will also continue to make modest grants in accordance with the policy indicated above. 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust at the year end and of its incoming resources and resources expended during that year.  In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

## **Claude & Margaret Pike Woodlands Trust** 

## Reference and Administrative Details 

## Year Ended 5 April 2021 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

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

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions for the Trust Deed.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
