## cHAiR'S RePORT 


'tHe work OF OUr volUnteers and StaFF HAS been a real Stand OUT OveR THe pASt yeaR and HAS been TRuly aPpReciATed bY THe comMunity.' 

**`The Farm has emerged from the global pandemic stronger and with renewed vision and energy. The year was not without its challenges, with the roller coaster of Covid numbers and changing restrictions requiring` the team to be flexible and** **`agile to the ever-changing situation. The Farm has remained focused on the community and has continued to deliver for those most in` need during a difficult time.** 

```
As restrictions lifted, the
farm grasped the opportunity
to reconnect with people
in person, opening the
farm quickly, rekindling
longstanding relationships
and developing exciting
new ones. The support for
our much-loved space has
shone through in the strong
engagement in our services
and the new opportunities
and partnerships that
have emerged.
```

```
The work of our volunteers
and staff has been a real
stand out over the past
year and has been truly
appreciated by the community.
The gardens have been an
absolute delight, providing
a welcome sanctuary and
productively delivering
much needed healthy food
and inspiration. The
animals have brought joy
and connection both on the
farm and more broadly via
our mobile farms. Through
hard work and thoughtful
improvements, the land
entrusted to us has been
```

'tHe StaFF, TRusTees and volUnteers collabORateD On THe developMenT OF a cleArer aRTicUlATiOn OF OUr viSiOn and StrATegY To deliver For THe comMunity.' 

significantly enhanced and `has been enjoyed by many.` 

```
The staff, trustees and
volunteers collaborated
on the development of a
clearer articulation of
our vision and strategy to
deliver for the community.
It has been built on the
heritage of the farm,
creating a space for all,
that empowers people to make
a positive change to their
lives, our community, and
the planet.
```

```
The Farm’s impact has seen
strong endorsement from
our community, funders,
and local authorities with
the development of exciting
projects, such as the
planned new community garden
and site improvements which
will amplify our impact for
years to come.

```
April 2021 was welcomed
with easing government
restrictions, being able
to welcome the community
and regular volunteers
back to the farmyard. Holmes
the pig in particularly
enjoyed the attention of
returning visitors.
```

`Schools were keen to book tour mobile farm service in lieu` of restrictions on usual field `trips. Of the 23 mobile farms we delivered in this period. 12 were to Primary Schools, 7 churches, 2 community centres, 1 synagogue, 1 nursery. These supported the farmyard income by over £10,000` 

`In June 2021 our cherished farm van broke down beyond reasonable repair. To maintain our service delivery a rental van was used during the remainder of the year, and a partnership with Hackney City farm has supported us in 2022. These have come with their` own financial and logistical 

```
challenges which have impacted
our ability to provide outreach
at its full potential. Securing
funds for a new vehicle is high
on the farmyard wish list.
```

```
The Farm's partnership with
City Harvest, the food waste
charity, grew to include
receiving generous donations
of cat, guinea pig, poultry,
and rabbit food. Donations
during this period are
estimated to have saved over
£1500 in animal feed costs.
Further Donations from Lily's
Kitchen and Amazon wish list
donors have contributed
over £400 of animal feed and
equipment. At a time when
feed and veterinary costs
are increasing these are
gratefully received.
```

`Animal care and welfare is at the heart of everything we do, as a respected, and` an influential organisation Spitalfields City Farm is `committed to adopting new small animals from reputable` 

```
rescue centres, using
appropriate, healthy animals
on site and in animal outreach
projects.
```

```
The Farm adopted six new
guinea pigs from Wood Green
Animal Shelter during 2021.
We welcomed Daisy, Rose,
Calendula, Lily, Mapel, and
Pumpkin as new residents
to the popular Guinea Pig
Village. Our animals help us
to educate and increase
awareness of the health and
welfare issues for pets
and food producing animals.
```

```
Thanks to the long-standing
support from the Worshipful
Company of Woolmen we were
able to offer free education
sessions to two groups from a
local primary school. This was a
change to our usual open event,
adhering to limitations on
social gatherings in June 2021.
It was such a success that we
hope to replicate the style of
the event next year to include
more schools and activities.

## edUcATiOn, cHildRen & young peOPle 

**`It has been a challenging year for the education sector as a whole and this has been felt at the Farm. Covid has impacted our work with schools, restriction on movement and` schools' difficulties with staffing, have meant we have** **`not been able to welcome as many children to the farm as we would have wanted.`** 

```
During this time, we focused
our educational programme to
work with those most local
to the farm, with the aim
of strengthening already
existing partnerships within
our community and engaging as
many children, young people
and families as possible in
sustained and varied ways.
```

`In May 2021 we welcomed a new Educational Coordinator to reestablish the Farms children and young people's programme after Covid and help design an educational offer in line with a developing an overarching farm strategy to be implemented` over next three to five years. 

`With the easing of restrictions, our priority was to continue working with the two primary schools closest to the Farm, St Annes and Thomas Buxton, delivering weekly growing sessions, transforming dedicated growing spaces on the school grounds, into` flourishing vegetable gardens. 

```
Next, we began to welcome
school groups back to the farm
for one off self-directed
visits, guided tours and
workshops. As well as our
weekly 1:1 work experience
sessions with Phoenix Special
Educational Needs (SEN)
students and weekly whole class
visits from Lyceum School.
```

```
We put a large focus on
working with local children
and families and the summer
holidays were the perfect
opportunity to welcome them
back to the farm. Having spent
the last 18 months inside,
we delivered a jam packed and
varied programme for all ages
```

```
to encourage people to get
outside again. Incorporating
all aspects of farming, food,
nature, and the outdoors,
we delivered weekly cooking
workshops, forest school
activities, opportunities to
interact with the animals and
help care for our gardens.
Storytelling, nature centred
arts and craft activities and
workshops focusing on ecology
```

```
also featured heavily. After
a hard year it was great to
see children back at the Farm
and many families attending
multiple events, returning
for our October and February
half term activities.
```

## volUnteer TeaM cHallenges 

```
The Farm adopts a social
enterprise model to help
generate much needed income.
Part of our strategy includes
leading paid volunteering
days for organisations to
help raise funds to subsidise
our educational and community
programmes, and the running
costs of the Farm. These
team building days are also
integral in supporting us to
maintain our 1.3 acre site.
```

`As the lockdown restrictions eased in early summer, we began welcoming Team Challenge groups back to the Farm. After many long months with people sporting wild pandemic hairstyles, the gardens were equally in need of some serious pruning and` weeding. The first to attend `were twenty enthusiastic staff and students from the American School in London, who embraced the tasks and were rewarded with a session of donkey grooming.` 

```
As we moved into the warmer
months, it was fantastic
to see familiar faces and
companies, including FSCS,
Ascential, Sompo, Nomura,
Equistone, Samsara, and
Peel Hunt among others.
The teams repaired picnic
benches, painted fences,
weeded and woodchipped
pathways, harvested crops,
bagged up manure, mucked out
the stables and generally
spruced up the Farm. We also
continued working with the
East London Business Alliance
(ELBA), who organised a
family volunteering day
with Standard Chartered where
the kids took charge digging
out the muck heap!
```

```
In September, it was all
hands on deck to lead our
largest ever Challenge Day
with 70 volunteers from The
Wise Group. The organisers had
requested something special,
so we took Bayleaf the
donkey to collect them from
a conference centre on Brick
```

```
Lane and walk them back to the
Farm. They helped us thoroughly
sweep and weed the cobbled
roads, scrub the Tree House,
manure the raised beds and
prepare the Farm for autumn.
```


`Momentum continued through until early December,` including a flurry of bookings `from our longstanding partners Salesforce once they were given the green light to resume in-person volunteering. Following a winter’s hibernation, Challenges began picking up again in March ready for the year ahead.` 

## **`ACHIEVEMENTS`** 

> `[After many months of remote ] working, it was a joy facilitating employees to meet each other in person in a safe and enjoyable way.` 

> `[We formed new relationships ] with companies including IFF Research, The Worshipful Company of Actuaries, ISG, And Digital, AIG, Talbot, FNZ, Starling Bank, Newable and RG Construction.` 

> `[We successfully hosted our ] largest Team Challenge Day.` 

> `[We recruited and trained ] three of our Farm volunteers to lead paid Team Challenges sessions.` 

> `[Overall, we welcomed 43 ] teams and over 650 individuals – who have given 2,503 hours of volunteering to help us manage and improve` the Farm for the benefit `of the community.`

## HORTicUltuRe 

```
This year saw a slow return to
‘normality’ as volunteers and
staff returned to help with
the gardens. We continued to
grow in all garden spaces and
return their condition to the
high standard we maintained
pre pandemic. We also worked
hard to broaden the range
of produce we grow to be
inclusive of as many different
cultures as possible.
```

```
Lutfun, our Bangladeshi
gardener returned from
furlough and resumed growing
world food for the local
community with the intention
to restart our famous
```

`‘Coriander Club’ as soon as` volunteers developed confidence `to return.` 

```
In October 2021, the Farm
successfully bid for funding
to create a new community
garden on a piece of underused
land that abuts the main gate.
Work on this project began
in January with two public
consultation days to ensure
```

```
the garden is truly in step
with community needs.
```

```
The Farm also put together
a proposal and won funding
to establish a food forest
of perennial crops in a wild
area of the garden. We added
trees, shrubs, herbs and
perennials to a space that was
already planted with a small
number of old fruit trees to
show our visitors new ways to
grow edible produce, whilst
increasing plant and animal
diversity. This project will
continue developing in year
2022/23.
```

`As pandemic restrictions lifted, a solid and fairly reliable group of garden volunteers was formed who have mostly continued to work with us. On occasion we include special needs volunteers working alongside this group,` which benefits all. 

```
Corporate volunteers have
returned in good numbers and
```


often ask specifically for `garden projects. This has been particularly helpful in clearing up after` 

```
unavoidable pandemic neglect
and in the preparation of the
food forest area.
```

```
Along with fresh produce
we continued to develop a
range of preserves, pickles,
cordials and other edible
products to sell in the farm
shop. We intend to develop
the farm brand further in the
next year.
```

## **`ACHIEVEMENTS`** 

```
 Secured funding from the
Mayor of London’s (GLA) Grow
Back Greener Fund to create
new community garden space.
```

```
 £2,000 funding to create
educational forest garden
from Abrdn and other partners
```

```
 Expansion of crop range to
show edibles for harvesting
365 days per year. Including
new vegetables never before
grown at the farm.
```

```
 We won best bouquet in the
London Farm Harvest Festival
Show and were runners up
in best seasonal display
of vegetables

**We were thrilled to finally** **`open up our beautiful site for events again. Alongside a busy stream of children’s birthday parties, we hosted two weddings where we transformed the Farm into a veritable fairytale.`** 

`Over the summer months, Nest Collective returned to running their magical` Campfire Club, with an `eclectic line up of folk and world musicians taking the stage. The global gig organisers Sofar Sounds also got in on the outdoor music action for one of their events.` 

```
In August, the national
disability charity Sense
took over the tents and
gardens for their fantastic
Thrive festival, creating a
safe and joyful celebration
for the young people they
support, many of whom had
been shielding throughout
the pandemic.
```

`We had a multisensory evening, beginning with a mindful yoga session led by our long-time farm friend Luisa Demant, followed by a light meal in the Community Garden surrounded by` sunflowers and a natural wine `tasting session with Fernando from Otros Vinos.` 

`Mike’s Table ran two supper clubs creating delicious menus using surplus food supplied by City Harvest. The` first event was ticketed which `funded the second evening for our community partners. As well as these private events, the Farm also received funding from the council to host two free supper` gatherings: the first aimed at `staff and volunteers and the second for local residents and partners. Simone who runs The Rosebery Tea Hut did the catering, treating` us all to gorgeous Goan fish `and vegetarian curries using fresh Farm produce.`

Not only is venue hire an
important source of income
for the Farm, it also gives
us the opportunity to share

our glorious gardens and
animals and showcase the
wonderful work that we do.

## PaRTneRSHiPS 

```
The London team of Froglife, a
national wildlife conservation
charity, have been based at
the Farm for the past 4 years.
```

`Froglife’s relationship with the farm began with a successful joint bid for pond management volunteer sessions from Awards for All back in 2017, plus the creation of the great crested newt mural (found near the gate to the farmyard). After this successful project, Froglife’s London team moved into the` farm office and Spitalfields `City Farm became Froglife’s London base of operations from January 2018 until March 2022.` 

```
During this time the London
Tails of Amphibian Discovery
(T.O.A.D) project, funded by
the National Lottery Heritage
Fund, engaged 96,650 people
in just under 400 activities.
Educational activities that
ranged from converting leisure
centre swimming pools into
‘ponds’ to leading drama
```

`workshops in schools to teach about threats to amphibians. Some of these activities took place at the farm, including the creation and subsequent tour of the Toad Tapestry in which local farm patrons added` their own creative flair to `represent Tower Hamlets and pop-up virtual reality stands at the farm’s major events like the Goat Race and Open Farms weekend.` 


`If you are a regular visitor to the farm, I’d suggest you take a brief pause at the pond on the pathway up the teahut and watch for the life under the surface, and then explore` the rest of the farm to find `the other ponds or areas that have been made for wildlife` to thrive. Spitalfields City `Farm is a special place for wildlife, a green and natural oasis for many species to call home, nestled between a very built-up urban area. For Froglife’s target species, the farm is ideal. You can` find Common Frogs, Smooth `Newts, Great Crested Newts and occasionally Common Toads on site, ranging from the community garden all the way up the compost heaps. Great Crested Newts2 are a European Protected Species, meaning there is additional legislation given to them to protect them from declining further across Europe, and` this is significant for the `Farm as they are rarer in` 

`urban areas so it really is` a special animal to find in `their ponds.` 

`Due to our great working relationship, one of our school’s ‘sponsor a pond’ sponsorships funded the restoration and volunteer workdays on the Grass Path Pond in 2021. In addition to this, it has been wonderful to work with the volunteers and work experience students and share some of the wildlife` gems we would find on site or `at the ponds.` 

`The partnership has been wonderful and the farm staff` (and office cats, of course) `have certainly felt like an extended team to the Froglife London team, so it has been sad to say goodbye. Froglife will still be active in London, but for the next project mainly focusing on areas south of the river, so we will make sure to pop by when we can!`

## RePORT oF tHe trUSteeS FOR tHe YeAr enDeD 31 MaRcH 2022 

## FutuRe PlAns 

```
This year we developed a
new strategy which presents
a vision for the Farm and
our services for the period
2022 to 2025. It outlines
our aims, objectives and
priorities. It was the
culmination of a period
of consultation with our
staff, volunteers and
trustees during 2021, the
purpose of which was to
create a shared vision
of how our city farm can
better serve the local
community, visitors and
other stakeholders: A
common vision for where we
are going based on everyone
having a say.

## **`RISK MANAGEMENT`** 

```
The Board has examined
the principal areas of
the Farm's operations and
considered the major risks
which may arise in each of
these areas.
```

`In the opinion of the Trustees, the Farm has established resources and review systems which, under normal conditions, should allow the risks` identified by them to be `mitigated to an acceptable level in its day-to-day operations.` 

```
The major risks are:
```

- **`Financial risks:`** `that applications for grants or donations may not be forthcoming` 

- **`Reputational risks:`** `that animal infections, accident or injury on site may close the farm temporarily therefore donations may be restricted and, in an` extreme case, significant `reputational damage and/ or legal liability may be incurred.` 

- **`Staff risks:`** `a reliance` 

- `on key members of staff` 

`The Farm utilised a risk register to review and monitor various operational risks. The Farm has systems to give early warning of` financial shortfalls, and `regularly reviews its operating policies. The Farm maintains good contact with the necessary governmental departments on animal husbandry, regulations and restrictions, liaises extensively with the local council's health` and safety officers, and has `conducted a comprehensive review of its washing` facilities, fire safety `policy and information boards/warning signs.`

```
I report to the charity
trustees on my examination
of the accounts of the
Company for the year ended
31 March 2022.
```

## **`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`** 

`Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body.` I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the `examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies.` 

`I have completed my` examination. I confirm `that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:` 

- **`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.

## 1. AccOUnting POlicieS 

## **`BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS`** 

The financial statements of `the charitable company,` which is a public benefit `entity under FRS 102, h ave been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.` The financial statements `have been prepared under the historical cost convention.` 

## **`GOING CONCERN AND IMPACT OF COVID 19`** 

`The Farm's work continues to attract endorsement through attendance of their events, programmes and sponsorships grants and/ or donations. From the` financial position, `the Board is comfortable that the Farm is a viable going concern.` 

```
As a result of this, the
accounts have been prepared
on a going concern basis.
```

## **`INCOME`** 

```
All income is recognised in
the Statement of Financial
Activities once the charity
has entitlement to the
funds, it is probable that
the income will be received
and the amount 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 condition is wholly within the control of the charity and is probable that those conditions` will be fulfilled in the `reporting period.` 

`Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charitable company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of` economic benefit from the `use by the charitable` 

`company of the item, is probable and the economic` benefit can be measured `reliably. In accordance with the charities SORP (FRS102), general volunteer time is not recognised.` 

`On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charitable company which is the amount the charitable company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent` economic benefit on the open `market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.` 

## **`EXPENDITURE`** 

`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 a transfer` of economic benefits will `be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has` been classified under `headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular`

activities. These costs
have been allocated between
cost of raising funds
and expenditure on
charitable activities on
the following basis:
```

## **`FUND ACCOUNTING`** 

```
Unrestricted funds can be
used in accordance with the
charitable objectives at the
discretion of the trustees.
```

`Restricted funds can only` **`Allocation of support costs`** `be used for particular restricted purposes within • Raising Funds - 14% the objects of the charity. • Charitable Activities - Restrictions arise when 86.0%` specified by the donor or `when funds are raised for particular restricted` **Tangible fixed assets** `purposes.` 

```
Depreciation is provided
at the following annual
rates in order to write
off each asset over its
estimated useful life.
```

`Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in` the notes to the financial `statements.` 

```
Improvements to property -
10% on cost
```

## **`PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS`** 

```
Items of equipment are
capitalised where the
purchase price exceeds
£500. Depreciation
costs are allocated to
activities according to
the percentage used for
support costs.
```

`The charitable company` operates a defined 

```
contribution pension scheme.
Contributions payable to the
charitable company's pension
scheme are charged to the
Statement of Financial
Activities in the period to
which they relate.
```

## **`BIOLOGICAL ASSETS`** 

```
Biological assets are
valued at the lower of
```

`The charitable company` operates a defined 

`contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs charged in the` financial statements `represent the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.` 

## **`DONATED GOODS AND SERVICES`** 

`Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charitable company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic` benefit from the use by `the charitable company of the item, is probable` and the economic benefit `can be measured reliably. In accordance with the charities SORP (FRS102), general volunteer time is not recognised.` 

`On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charitable company which is the amount the charitable company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of` equivalent economic benefit `on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.`

## **`DEBTORS`** 

Basic financial assets, `including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes` a financing transaction, `where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.` 

`Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are represented by cash in hand, deposits held` at call with financial 

`institutions, and other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash` with insignificant risk of `change in value.` 

## **`CREDITORS`** 

## Basic financial 

`liabilities, including trade and other creditors, loans from third parties and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes` a financing transaction, `where the debt instrument`

payments discounted at
a market rate of interest.
Such instruments are
subsequently carried
at amortised cost using the
effective interest method,
less and impairment.
```

## **`FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS`**
