## **REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES** 

The Trustees (who are also Directors for the purpose of the Companies Act) present their Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 October 2021. 

The Trustees confirm that the financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity’s governing document,  the Charities Act 2011 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The Charity is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee.  It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

## **TRUSTEES** 

The Trustees during the year were as follows:- 

The Viscountess Blakenham Hon Caspar Hare J Morley 

The ongoing projects of the Charity and its day to day activities are managed by the Trustees who meet on a regular basis. The Trustees comprise a range of specialists in the area in which the Charity operates. New members either replace or add to this range of skills and are supported and trained in these respective skills to benefit the Charity. 

## **OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

The Company is a Registered Charity formed to operate a Woodland Garden for the benefit of the public.  There is a six acre oak and coppiced hazel bluebell wood where there is a planned balance between woodland and garden, between trees, shrubs and flowers.  There are both native and rare, exotic species, many of which originated from plant auctions at Kew Gardens.  There is also abundant bird and insect life.  The Garden has been designed to guide visitors past carefully placed “incidents of delight” such as a natural tunnel of bamboos, a rough-cast pergola flanked by white-stemmed thorns and camellias and enormous rocks shipped in from China, supported on willow covered bases. In June 2015 a piano was installed in the Garden which plays a specially composed tune when a visitor passes. This was intended to be a source of amusement and surprise for the visitors and has proved popular. 

A website has been set up with details of the Garden, various photographs and information about specific events.  Links to this website are now on various tourism websites for East Anglia and on sites such as, GardenVisit.com.  The website address is www.blakenhamwoodlandgarden.org.uk and this includes directions to the site and details of how to access the garden. 

The Garden is open to the public from 16 February to 30 June daily from 9.30 to 16.30.There is an entrance charge of £5  with children half price.  Season Tickets are available for regular visitors. Coach parties are welcome by appointment. 

The Trustees will ensure that the Charity will continue to meet its objectives for the foreseeable future; ensuring the public will continue to benefit from the Charity. 

## **GOVERNING  DOCUMENT  AND  CONSTITUTION** 

The company is registered under the Charity Commission for England and Wales, number 288649 and is constituted as a Private Limited Company, limited by guarantee, registered number 01784059.

**THE  BLAKENHAM  WOODLAND  GARDEN** 

**(A Company Limited by Guarantee)** 

## **REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES  (Continued)** 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year.  Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).  The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.  In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, 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 Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable Company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in difference jurisdictions. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

It is the policy of the Trustees to ensure that adequate assistance is made available to the Blakenham Woodland Garden to enable it to meet the objectives described above. 

Net outgoing resources for the year were £26,824 (2020: outgoing £13,644).  The Company made realised gains in the year of £178,122 (2020: gains £8,098) and had unrealised gains of £136,765 (2020: unrealised losses of £169,791).  The net incoming movement of funds was £288,063 (2020: outgoing £175,337). 

## **INVESTMENT  POLICY** 

The Company has a long term approach to investment.  The Trustees’ Investment Policy is to balance the capital growth to maintain the real value of funds with the requirement to produce income.  This is achieved by holding a range of equities as shown on page 15 of the Accounts and which is reviewed regularly and the annual performance meets this objective. There are no specific limitations to the investment policy. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

The Trustees have examined the requirements of The Blakenham Woodland Garden and in light of the main risks have agreed that the charity will continue to maintain sufficient reserves to enable it to continue to meet its objectives for the foreseeable future. 

The charity’s aim is to have enough reserves at the yearend date to allow for the charity’s operating costs for at least the next six months. Based on the accounts, six months of operating costs would equate to £31,227, of which the charity has plenty of reserves at the yearend date to meet. The Trustees believe that despite COVID-19 the charity has sufficient reserves.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS** 

## **OF  THE  BLAKENHAM  WOODLAND  GARDEN** 

## **FOR  THE  YEAR  ENDED  31  OCTOBER  2021** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

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.
