TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charitable Company for the year 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Objectives and activities
l Policies and objectives
The Objects as set out in the Charitable Company's Articles of Association are:
a) The prevention and relief of poverty, the relief of ill-health (whether mental and/or physical) and the relief of need amongst:
- Serving and former serving members of the armed forces of the Crown injured on active service,
- Other personnel employed in roles, which directly support the United Kingdom's security, international development and stabilisation and intelligence, who have been injured in the course of their duties
by means of the provision of mentoring, services, facilities and equipment to support their treatment, rehabilitation, resettlement, education, training and employment.
b) To educate the public about mental health, in particular about mental injury sustained during service to the public and methods of providing relief and treatment and on the basis that in pursuing the above aims, the Charity shall operate mainly in England.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Achievements and performance (continued)
l Review of activities
Inspite of the ongoing Covid pandemic which began in the UK in March 2020, HighGround has achieved some notable milestones in the last 12 months.
• With funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust we delivered 4 Rural Experience Weeks at Bicton College
• We featured in the Remembrance Sunday episode of BBC Countryfile
• Anna Baker Cresswell Executive Director spoke at the Landex conference
• Gold Medal at BBC Gardeners World Live
HighGround’s 2 core services namely advice and support delivered to service leavers and veterans about land-based employment with Rural Weeks at the core and Horticultural Therapy for injured serving personnel at DMRC Stanford Hall, have responded to the pandemic in different ways and the Charity is proud of the work by staff and volunteers who have made the continuation of the services possible.
Thanks to the generosity of the Veterans’ Foundation and The Royal Foundation, Tim Lever joined us in September 2021 as our first Rural Employment Manager when he finally left the Royal Marines after more than 30 years’ service.
Tim’s input into the development of Rural Experience Weeks at Bicton has been invaluable and as each Rural Experience Week was delivered, the difference in pace, content, and approach between employment-focused Rural Weeks and wellbeing-focused Rural Experience Weeks became more apparent.
We are extremely grateful to the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust and our Strategic Partner at Cobseo Rachel Price, as without their generous funding and support it would not have been possible to pioneer and develop Rural Experience Weeks.
In June 2021 we were able to return to Bicton College in Devon to deliver the first of 4 Rural Experience weeks with our referral partners Icarus, the Rifles Charity, Rock 2 Recovery, Poppy Factory, Tom Harrison House, All Call Signs, Not Forgotten, Project Nova, On Course Foundation, Step Together Volunteering, Supporting Wounded Veterans and the RFEA to improve the mental health and wellbeing of veterans during 5 fully residential days using outdoor experiences in the walled garden and parkland at Bicton.
During our final Rural Experience Week in October we held a reception at Bicton to thank all the presenters who had made the programme possible, and the comment below is from one of the veterans who attended a Rural Experience Week:
"I was medically discharged from the Coldstream Guards in 2002 and don’t think I’ve ever got my head around civvy street. I miss the banter and belonging and have never really felt like I fit in. Coming to Bicton was a big deal for me but they created a lovely environment and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed all the different things we did but most of all, I just enjoyed being there and meeting the other veterans.”
Tim has been very busy working with our Development Board to produce Career Guides for each of the 18 areas we have identified within the land-based sector where opportunities for employment and self-employment exist for individuals who bring military skills and experience, and these are now live on our website.

HIGHGROUND PROJECTS LIMITED

Achievements and performance (continued)
Tim and the Executive Director both represent HighGround at the Cobseo Employment Cluster and we continue to develop relationships with land-based organisations and employers who recognise the skills and experience which military service brings including Historic Houses, Country Land and Business Association, Historic and Botanic Gardens Trust, Woodland Heritage, National Gamekeepers Association, National Trust, JCB, Forest School Association and thank all our wonderful presenters for Rural Weeks and Virtual Rural Weeks including Velcourt Farming; Tillhill Forestry; Bowler Oakfield; Hi-Line Training; Dorset Wildlife Trust; British Association of Landscape Industries and the inspirational veterans who give their time as speakers.
In addition to Rural Experience Weeks, we successfully delivered 3 Rural Weeks and 5 Virtual Rural Weeks to over 120 serving personnel and veterans with 72% of Virtual Rural Week attendees being serving personnel. This indicates a growing awareness of the land-based sector and a need for more information to help them make employment choices for their return to civilian employment once their military careers are over.
We are extremely grateful to the Veterans’ Foundation; RAF Benevolent Fund; Greenwich Hospital and The Royal Marines Charity for their generous support of our Rural Weeks and Virtual Rural Weeks which enables us to deliver Life beyond the military – Outdoors to individuals of all ranks and ages across all three services.
Our Horticultural Therapy service at Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre (DMRC) Stanford Hall delivered 716 sessions to 228 patients during F/Y 2021/2022.
Horticultural Therapy has become a vital intervention in the treatment of Long Covid at DMRC when the main areas of focus are fatigue management and pacing, as our Horticultural Therapist is able is set gardening tasks which are measurable and give accurate psycho-social and physical improvement indicators to the referring Occupational Therapists to assist their patients’ recovery programmes.
The Gold Medal won by our show garden at BBC Gardeners World Live in August 2021 was the culmination of many months of planning which involved staff and patients and gave a much-needed morale boost during some very challenging times.
Professor Morrison and Dr Nikoden completed their staff survey which found 100% agreement with the statement: 'I see Horticultural Therapy as an important part of patient rehab.'
We thank them for their generous contributions of time and expertise and the referring Occupational Therapists who contributed to the survey as we seek to continue increasing the evidence base to support Horticultural Therapy as a rehab intervention for injured serving personnel.
The development of the Village Green area outside the greenhouse as an additional space for patients to receive Horticultural Therapy has been made possible by the generosity of the Army Central Fund who funded the timber for the raised beds, and we also thank Vitax and British Sugar Topsoil for continuing to supply us with growing mediums, and our wonderful Gardening Volunteers - we would be lost without you all.

Website and communications
Our website continues to provide the main channel of communication and we thank Kathryn, Andrew, and Louisa for their fantastic work to keep it current, relevant, and easy to navigate as we continue to use it to communicate with our beneficiaries, Friends, and funders.
Philip Shaw started to provide marketing assistance to HighGround in July as we seek to develop our Corporate Champions and Friends of HighGround networks, and he generously donated the profits from his 2021 Christmas card to HighGround.
Our new film made by Thread Films and funded by British Sugar Topsoil is helping to raise awareness of HighGround’s work to new audiences, and we were very proud to be featured in the Remembrance Sunday episode of BBC Countryfile when Adam Henson spent the day with us during a Rural Week at Bicton in October.
We welcomed Friends and supporters to the Cavalry & Guards Club in November to launch the film; the Executive Director continues to apply to grant-making trusts and foundations according to HighGround’s fundraising strategy, and an Investment Committee has been formed to administer the Headley Court Charity’s donation.
The Trustees met 4 times during the year both virtually and in person and are grateful to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, Greenwich Hospital, Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund, Swire Foundation, Army Central Fund, Veterans’ Foundation, Prism Charitable Fund, Scott Eredine Charity, Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, RAF Benevolent Fund, CLA Charitable Trust and the many generous individuals who have contributed to the Charity’s work.
Financial review
l Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charitable Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They have included in their assessment the effects of the situation surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, which has delayed projects but has not unduly impacted on the financial position of the charity. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
l Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to hold reserve funds at a level of at least six months' running costs of the core activity. At 31 March 2022, the charity had total funds of £432,982 comprising unrestricted funds of £228,305 and restricted funds £204,677. Of the unrestricted funds, £228,305 has been designated to be spent on horticultural therapy courses over six years as agreed with the donor. This leaves a £nil general funds balance at the year end.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
∙observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
|
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

|
|
|
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
|
|
|
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
|
|
|
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
|
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

HIGHGROUND PROJECTS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Highground Projects Limited is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, incoporated in England and Wales, company number: 08236843, charity number: 1151225. The address of the registered office is Preston Smithy, Chathill, Northumberland, NE67 5DG.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Highground Projects Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The Trustees have considered the financial position of the Charitable Company at 31 March 2022, and in particular the potential effects of the situation surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. Whilst it is impossible for the charity to operate whilst the practice of social isolation is in place, since the easing of restrictions in 2022, the Charitable Company has been able to operate courses for both Horticultural Therapy and Rural Weeks activities. The Trustees are confident that they have sufficient funds in hand for operational needs for at least the twelve months following the approval of these financial statements to allow them to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
|
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
