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 March 2024. 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
Objects
The objects of the charity are:

(A)To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of London without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions by associating the statutory authorities and voluntary organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and other leisure-time occupation, particularly for those who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances.

(B)To advance education of said inhabitants in agriculture, horticulture, home-crafts, country life and related subjects, and in the principles of self-discipline and good citizenship through their leisure-time activities so that they develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities and grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society, and their conditions of life may be improved.

(C)To promote among the general population of the area of benefit humanity and morally by educating them in care and consideration of all animals, particularly animals in need of care and protection.

(D)To provide education and training for persons who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, poverty or social and economic circumstances, so as to prepare them for any trade, occupation or service and thereby advance them in life or enable them to earn their own livelihood.

Significant activities
In meeting these objects the charity carries out the following activities:

-Organic farming and market gardening.
-Camping and residential accommodation for visitors.
-Classes in forest skills, sources of food and nature.
-Opportunities for volunteers.
-Providing one farming apprenticeship.

The Trustees have paid due regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake now and in the future.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
This year saw a large increase in residential bookings, and we were pleased to host many of our longstanding London-based groups, including Paddington Arts, the Otherwise Club, Radical Faeries, Nature Vibezzz, Fourth Feathers, Hackney Woodcraft Folk and Black 2 Nature.

We were also able to host our Summer Extravaganza with Children's World - a family-friendly event providing rural craft workshops, theatre and circus activities. This was funded by Glastonbury Town Council and we thank them for their support.

We received funding from the Glastonbury Trust to create a food hub and Somerset Community Foundation to run food and growing workshops, which were very popular and well attended. We want to thank both organisations for their support over the years.

We received funding from CLA Charitable Trust, D'Oyly Carte Charitable Trust and Wessex Water for core costs associated with our youth and community programmes. We thank them for their support in helping us with our continued work.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
PFT's key financial objective is to ensure the charity is financially stable so that it can continue to pursue its aims and objectives. Whilst the charity experienced a deficit for the financial year of £3,084 this was a reduction on the previous 12 months (£9,846 deficit), and should be viewed against the backdrop of continuing expenditure on the fabric of the farm (circa £10,000). This included a significant investment in upgrades to residential buildings which help to make the farm a more appealing place for groups and individuals to stay, and thus make a positive impact on future income. Together with the accumulated surplus brought forward from previous years, the organisation had total reserves of £147,256. This includes fixed assets with a book value of £132,043. Excluding fixed assets, the unrestricted reserves are £15,150 which represents 10% of income. Restricted reserves are £63.

The Trust's principal sources of income are residential accommodation and camping, the sale of farm produce, renting of grazing and the renting of farm buildings. During high season capacity is fully utilised. In addition, staff and trustees are finding innovative ways of extending the season and generating more income out of season. We have established ourselves as a successful social enterprise. More income is now derived from primary purpose trading, with only a small amount coming from grants. This reflects the longer term need to adapt to cuts in public sector income streams.

Reserves policy
The trustees have considered the following factors when reviewing the reserves policy:

-The organisation's risk review
-Contractual obligations to staff including parental leave, maternity leave, sickness pay, pensions and redundancy provision
-Maintaining a safe working environment.
-Forecast capital expenditure on essential maintenance and upgrading of fixtures and fittings including the replacing roofs, ground works to the farm's access lane and water management.
-That an increasing proportion of the organisation's income is derived from primary purpose trading, the success of which is, to some extent, related to the weather (sunny weather encourages camping).

The trustees aim to hold at least three months running costs as free reserves, that is cash or near cash. Free reserves were £15,150 at the close of the year, roughly equivalent to one month's running costs. This is of concern to the Board of Trustees which, alongside staff, is exploring way to both increase the charity's reserves and secure additional funding streams into the future.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 18 February 1983, amended 17 July 2003 and further amended by special resolution dated 5 March 2009.

Organisational structure and recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The charity is controlled by the council of management, who are the trustees. The council may from time to time and at any time appoint any member of the charity as a member of the council.

Risk management
The major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been reviewed and systems or procedures have been established to manage those risks.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND LEGAL STATUS

Paddington Farm Trust Limited is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity reference and administrative details on pages 3 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are provided in the Report of the Trustees.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have 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.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

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.

The following specific polices are applied to particulate categories of income:

- Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

- Legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.

- Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

- Income from Farming and residential charitable activities are recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

- Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

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 headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

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

Freehold property- 25 years (excluding land)
Site and farm equipment- 33% on straight line basis
Office equipment- 25% on straight line basis
Motor vehicles- 25% on straight line basis

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Taxation
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

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

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

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

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
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.
