Year Ending: 31 March 2022

Company activities and impact

Carshalton Lavender CIC manages three acres of lavender in Carshalton, Surrey, an area once famous for its lavender. The company works to keep the heritage of local lavender alive for current and future generations. The site was established in 1996, and the company has held an annual community harvest since 2001. Our harvest in 2021 was not quite so restricted and reduced as in 2020. We managed to return on a smaller scale than pre-Covid and this was really appreciated by the attendees. We were able to distil our essential oil and hydrosol as usual after the harvest using our purpose-built on-site still. These and other products resulting from the harvest are sold at local events and to retailers and processors over the following year.During the financial year ending March 2022 the company has benefitted the community by:- Enabling visitors to pick their own lavender and enjoy the field at the annual harvest weekend in July- Educating local residents and students about the tradition of lavender growing in this area- Demonstrating the distillation process on site- Organising regular work parties for volunteers (including some with learning difficulties) in field work (ground preparation, planting, weeding and pruning), and in the distillation process.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders include local residents and visitors to the lavender field, local allotment holders, volunteers and the London Borough of Sutton – the allotment site owner. The directors of the company are local residents. The lavender field is managed and maintained in consultation with the London Borough of Sutton, Stanley Road Allotment Society and other key stakeholders.Yet again, at our Annual Harvest in July very positive comments were received from the attendees. Our numbers were higher this year as everyone was getting back to normal after restrictions caused by the pandemic. As always, our work was enthusiastically appreciated and the ability to be out in nature is always appreciated.

Directors' remuneration

No remuneration was received

Transfer of assets
