COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

NEWFIELDS GARDENING CIC

Company Number: 09917758 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 31 December 2022

Company activities and impact

During the financial year of 2022, the CIC was engaged in reconnecting with clients who had previously used its service and assisted with enabling those clients to overcome problems resulting from covid induced isolation and life rhythm dislocation to be able to engage with staff, then to experiment with spending time on site and finally to re-integrate and re-establish a rhythm of attendance and participation in activities. We were able to succeed in nearly ninety per cent of cases and by the end of the year twenty seven clients had been enabled to return. The clients were then provided with a programme based upon horticultural therapy and life skills training adjusted to their individually assessed needs and aspirations.

Consultation with stakeholders

Stakeholders are represented through a Reference group of carers, expert professionals and members of the local community. The reference group receives reports from and offers advice to the Directors. In 2022, the continuing issues caused by covid and post covid / long covid meant that there were no meetings of the reference group held. Informal contact with members was maintained and the support of individual stakeholder members was inportant in the process of rebuilding the work of the CIC. Clients are additionally represented through a process of individual consultation and assessment through which they co-design the service with which they are provided.

Directors' remuneration

This information is reported in the Annual Accounts. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
