The company runs The Garden, which is a learning community for home educated young people, and has been running since February 2016. During the financial year 2023 - 2024 we benefitted the community in the following ways: + Provided a safe, nurturing and social environment for a group of local home educated young people, including some for whom school has been unviable for various reasons. + Offered educational activities to this group. + Allowed local, low income and single parent families to access home education in a way that would be challenging without a project like this. + Raised awareness of the value of self directed education and the importance of young people's rights through our social media presence. + Took part in peer to peer continuing professional development, through the Freedom to Learn network. + Supported other learning communities with advice.
The company's stakeholders are the young people who access the learning community, their families and the staff. The Garden holds daily meetings with the young people, during which we discuss all aspects of how the project will affect them. They are empowered to be involved in decision making about how we operate, as long as it is safe for them to do so. The Garden regularly consults with the families about their experience on an ongoing basis. We make it clear in our literature that we encourage feedback and regularly remind them how they can do this. We respond to feedback by discussing as a staff team and, if appropriate, with the young people, with the aim of synthesising an outcome that everyone is happy with. We hold weekly team meetings in which staff are expected to give feedback about their experience and be involved in decision making about areas of operation that are either not safe, or not interesting for the young people.
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.
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
