BRYANTS BOTTOM COMMUNITY TRUST C.I.C.

Directors' report period ended 31 March 2025

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 31 March 2025

Principal activities of the company

Membership of the company requires that a person owns a dwelling in Bryants Bottom and is committed to maintaining the rural unspoilt nature of the village. Our membership reduced to 45 this year as several members moved from the village and not all replacements became members. Activities continue to be focussed on the maintenance and conservation of the Village Green for use by the community of Bryants Bottom and to enhance the appearance of the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Additional information

Our grant of £420 from Hughenden Parish Council in 2023/4 and the voluntary annual contribution of £10 per member we introduced was enough to cover the maintenance costs for this year as well. However, governance costs resulted in cash funds reducing to £2,550 The asset value of the land owned by the Trust is likely to remain unchanged at £17,624 as it now forms part of a Village Green and as such has no potential for development. We remain as enthusiastic as ever to continue as we are with the company being run by local householders on a voluntary and free basis.

Year Ending: 31 March 2025

Company activities and impact

During the financial year, the company continued to uphold its commitment to the local community by actively monitoring third-party activities that could compromise the openness and accessibility of the land surrounding Bryants Bottom. It also maintained the land to ensure it remains a welcoming, natural space for public enjoyment and community wellbeing.

Consultation with stakeholders

An Annual General Meeting was held for the company’s 45 members to review the accounts and to discuss any proposed changes to the Articles of Association or the ongoing maintenance of the open areas surrounding Bryants Bottom. In addition, regular email updates are sent to members to keep them informed of relevant activities and developments. This year, member feedback led to a revision of the maintenance programme, resulting in the creation of a permanent area designated for sports and pastimes, enhancing the land’s value for community use.

Directors' remuneration

No remuneration was received

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
