Report of the Trustees

for the year ended 31 December 2023



The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objectives for which the charity is established are for the public benefit to advance education and to provide recreational and leisure time activity in the interest of social welfare for people who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons.

Significant activities

This year saw the ending of the 20 year relationship with Severndale Specialist Academy and Futures by way of a change in the leadership in both school and Academic trust who don't believe in the benefits of the great outdoors for children with disabilities though they didn't bother to inform us.

Smallbrook School continues to come but in week blocks rather one day a week. They were thus able to increase the scope of activities and indeed produce some amazing products but also profound change in their pupils.

The home educated groups doing forest school continued to enjoy their weekly forest school visits and has grown in numbers over the year.

The camp ground for the Duke of Edinburgh awards has been finished and was a very successful addition to the facilities and provided the base for three groups doing their bronze awards. The project undertaken by volunteers from the civil service in Birmingham this year was the renovation of the fruit cage in the walled garden.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The Trustees consider the financial position of the charity to be satisfactory.


FUTURE PLANS

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
