COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ICONTINUEDI
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 klARCH 2023
In the wake of the pandemic's consideraNe conseqtlences on social interaction and face-lo-face activities. a
central focus ol the past year has been to reconnect wth volunteer groups. visitors and communities whose
ability to visit Calthorpe was hampered by the pandemic. an initiatsve which has seen overwhelming success and
enthusiastic engagement from a wde variety of communities in King's Cross. Volunteers in the garden have
been able lo join In food growing and maintenance of vegetable bed5, harvesting food from the garden lo
contribute to weekly lunches which a￿ prepa￿￿ by members of the Labn American over*Os group. Older
groups have also learned embroidery and weaving, held coffee momin9s and taken part in outdoor group
exercise with their peers, championing the importance of access to green spaces as a comerstone ol a healthy
lifestyle. The long-standing 8angladeshi Women's gardening group has also been joined by a Bengali interpreter
who holds weekly meetings to feed experiences and suggesb"on5 back to staff and ensure volunteers feel
involved in the lrfe of the charity.
A particular highlight of the gardgn stairs work is ￿nstitutel by the supported horticultural volunteering and
training programme$ Cakhorpe offers for adults wth learning disabiltiies and mental hearth conditions. These
volunteers have the opportunity to take part in food growing, maintenance of vegetable beds, wldflower planting
lo encourage pollinators and learning essential horticultural skills while gaining confidence in a dynamic garden
setting.
We would also like lo foreground Catthorpe's continuously broadened outreach and the eslablishmenl of further
collaborative projert$ to welcome le$$ well-supported communities in King's Cro$$, building Calthorpe'$ ¢apa¢ity
to deliver new and engaging services to key local stakeholders. This has enjoyed great success in no small part
lo the diligent work which staff have pul into establishing new roots with a wide range of local organisalions,
charities and voluntary organisalions wlhin Camden and greater London as a whole, vthile reinforcing the
implemenlalion of much-loved community programmes alfeady in place. A new and upcoming CCG volunteer
programme lo be launched in summer 2023 wll aim lo slrengihen collaborations wlh students and universities
in particular, and build up a large community of regular volunteers from across the local area.
A continued partnership wth local women's centre Hopscotch has welcomed Afghan refugee families lo the
Callhorpe, offering an inv￿n9 space for the Afghan community lo cook. eat and socialise wlh the support of
inlerprelers. Through a recently established parlnership with Heafthprom. a health and social inclusion charity,
the garden ha$ fvn¢tioned as a social hub for Ukrainian refvgees in the local area, while weekly gardening
groups have been joined by refugees from Hong Kong, tho tend to the vegetable beds, help to organise charity
events and share their own horticultural knO￿edge wilh staff. The charity's ongoing collaborats'on with Mind in
Camden has seen ever-popular weekly sessions to promote conversations around good mental health, wellbeing
and local support within the Community. Another recent partnership with the Black Mary Project, a community art
and storytelling Initiative which aims lo uncover the history of Camden's diverse global communities. is working
with volunteers and artists lo create a comMemorat￿e statue for Ihe mosaic garden voted for by the community.
In keeping with previous years, the charity has hosted a succession of major annual events in collaboration with
local communities, many of which are now regular and much-anticipated dates in Calthorpe's social calendar.
Thi5 year such festivals have Included Intemabonal Women'5 Day, the Lunar Lantem Festival, Dia de 105
Mijertos IDay of the Deadl, the Harvest Festival. the annual Christmas Ma￿et. and the Camden River ol Hope
celebration.
A further highlight of the past year has been the ever4Jrowng popularity of the sports prtch, which has returned
to near it5 full daytirne booking capacity and now stands as a signthcant and reliable source of income for the
¢hanty. Regular fixtures have involved a disability football session in partnership wlh the local further educational
college, a walking football group. a women's football group and tennis for children and adults. all of which seek lo
accommodate the ¥Mde range of needs and abilities in the local area and have proven immensely popular. Multi-
sports camps during the summer and Christmas holidays, an annual youth football tournament and weekly
school football dropin sessions constitute a valuable provision for children and young adutts throughout the year.
Plans are also underway lo reintroduce the Rising Coach programme for young people out of education, and in
the coming year we Intend lo expand prtch hire lo lunthlime and after-school leagues as an additional stable
Contributor of income for the d)arity.

COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ICONTINUEDI
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 klARCH 2023
In further good news. this year has been a success for eady years provision al Catthorpe. wth a vasuy increased
number of members registered from surrounding boroughs. These services offer an enriching, supportive and
engaging environment for local children while suppoth'ng their families through what has in many respects been
a challenging year, and also provide residents a valuable opportunity to build sUPPOrt netsvorks within their
local community. Children have the opportunity lo play creatively and spontaneously in the natural environment
while developing their communicabon skills. enriching their understsnding of the wodd and providing
opportunities lor physical activity outdoors. In a similar vein, the Weekend Play project for school-age children
has continued to provide numerous outdoor ath'vities such as creating bird teeders for the garden, foraging,
cooking and baking, arts and crafts using natural materials, and leaming to care for the garden's thriving ¥Mld
ecosystem throughout the year.
In financial terms we have continued to receive the generous support ol several major grant donors. including
fiJnding to support the Weekend A¢¢e$s to nature groups run lor lo¢al ¢hildren and s¢hool holiday playschemes
throughout the year. Total grant funding was a little lower than the previous financial year, in part due to a more
hallenging grant landscape and increased compets'lion for bids, ihough grants still remain an important and
much-apprecialed source of finan￿al support for our services. and the chanty wll conb'nue lo actively pursue
relevant grant opportunities in the coming year.
In the wake of cro$s-organi$alional modemisalion$, ￿pacity for arternalive revenue generation strategies has
been ampty expanded.. room hire ha$ seen a $ignffi¢anlly in¢reased Ltptake Since the previous financial year, and
with the implementation of a streamlined calendar for bookings now stands as one ol the charity's major income
conlribulors. This period has also seen a marked growth In the charity's corporate volunteering programme, with
an increased operational capauty enabling the garllens lo welcome groups from partner organisalions most
weeks of the year lo work on the srte and assist stsff wth garden maintenance. This has c(>nslituled a
predominant and reliable source of un￿$1￿cte¢j funding over the past year. and ￿ are opts'mislic that ils
inclusion as a regular and ongoing activity in the Calthorpe calendar wll contribute to a reduction in the charity's
reliance on grant income in the long term.
The beginning of the 2022 financial year Saw the departure of the Callhorpe's Director Louise Gales after 21
years of dedicated service lo the charity. In the intervening tsme, the Boartj has worked closely wlh senior
managers lo support them in the running of daY-l￿daY operations. lo ensure that Callhorpe continues lo meet ils
charitable objectives, and to proceed wth outlining the long-terni strategic direction for the charity post-covid. At
the time of writing. the process to begin adVe￿'sIng for a new Director is already underway, with the aim of
finding a suitable candidate for the post by the autumn of 2023 who will work dosely with staff and the Board on
further developing Callhorpe's core sewvi¢e5. mid- and long-lerm income generation strategies and the $106
business plan. March 2023 also saw a new intake of trustees assume roles on the Board, bringing relevant
expertise and a close kno¥￿edge of the communty lo the posrb'on. the trustees wll ¢ontinue to focus on the
aforementioned priorities while ensuring that the Calihorpe conts'nues to meet its charitable objectives.
Progress towards the new CCG s106 business plan has continued steadity wlh ongoing consultation befvleen
the charity and local authority representatives lo ouuine 115 expected scope and bmeline. The Board and
managers have continued lo research and explore a range of promising Options. including prospects for a
considered and profitsble social enterprise which would generate a steady source of revenue for the ¢harily. and
potential improvements to Calthorpe's building and gardens ¥thich wll ensure the site remains a leading
community facility. In order lo strengthen community engagemenl, we have also set in motion a process of
ongoing consultation with our local residents, induding the recent establishment of regular communily-led
Working Group meetings lo encourage broader participatson in the lrfe of the charty and lo better understand
how the CCG business plan can meet the nee¢Ys of King's Cross's thriving local ¢ommunilies. The generous
s106 planning award offered by UCL remains an eXc￿n9 new opportunty for the Carthorpe, and the charty looks
forward to strengthening its ongoing partnership wth the organisation in the coming years as a key stakeholder
in King's Cross, worfd-leading KnovAedge Quarter.
The trustees would also like lo ackno%￿edge the immense effort and dedication shown by staff and volunteers in
their work over the course of the past year. While the post-covid landscape has presented numerous challenges

held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from aulhorising these financial
slalemenls. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient wrth the level of reserves for the
Charity lo be able lo ￿ntsn￿e as a going con¢em.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Chanty has enlthemenl to the income. il is probable that the
income wll be received and the amount of income r￿e1Vable can be measured reliably.
Grants are induded in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of
income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant
funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of enlrtlement of receipt, ils
recognrtion is deferred and induded in creililors as deferted in￿rne. Where ents"tlement occurs
before income is received. the In￿Me is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the ts'me the investment
income 15 receivable.
