## Objectives and activities 

> The objects for which the charitable company is established are: - 

- To promote the enhancement and conversation of the environment. 

- To advance the education of the public about such matters relating to the preservation, conversation and sustainable   development   of the natural   environment   and the causes   of environmental degradation or concern. 

- To protect and preserve the natural and built environment   where there is a community or neighborhood interest by providing advice and information to e nable members of the public  to secure access to legal and other professional advice and representation in cases concerned with the planning   and development   of  such   environment   or  non-compliance   with  environmental   and administrative law and procedures. 

- The promotion of sustainable development for the benefit of the public by: 

   - Providing legal and expert guidance and support to those working for and advocating the preservation, conservation and the protection of the environment and the prudent use of natural resources. 

   - Conducting or commissioning research and publishing the results of such research. 

- "Sustainable development" means improving the quality of life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystems and the natural environment without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. 

- The promotion of the sound administration of environment and human rights law by: 

   - Providing specialist legal advice, assistance and representation including representation in the European Court of Human Rights for those unable to obtain such legal advice, assistance and representation as a result of their lack of resources. 

   - Providing advice on the institution structures and mechanisms by which such law is enforced. and 

   - Training the judiciary, lawyers, public authorities and the public in the relevant law and administrative processes 

> The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charitable company should undertake. 

## **Principal Activity** 

> ELF's purpose is to secure access to environmental justice for all. It has been formed to promote the use of 

> law to solve problems of an environmental nature, which arise in the United Kingdom, and helps people use 

> the law to protect and improve their local environment and quality of life. There have been no changes in the objects of the charity or to its methods of pursuing them since last year. 

> Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the aptitudes of 

> the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment within the charitable company continues and that the appropriate training is arranged. It 

> is the policy of the charitable company that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees.

## **Overview** 

Covid brought many challenges in the period 2020/21. We lost funding as did many other organisations. Despite the challenges, ELF finished the year in a stronger financial position, with good reason to expect to become stronger still. 

Excluding enquiries beyond our scope, the number of requests for help received by ELF from public individuals and community groups remained steady at approximately 300. This apparent ‘normality’ hides a shift in the nature, quality and urgency of those enquiries, towards concerns which: 

- affect larger community groups 

- are more urgent because damage is not threatened, but in progress 

- reflect not an absence of laws, but the failure to enforce them. 

Responding to these changes – which are a driving factor behind a modest growth in our number of professional, community and individual lay members – we began this year to develop new ways of working with our members. These aim to increase our effectiveness and grow our network yet further, making it more genuinely national. 

For example, in relation to law firms, we now have a system under which in-house commercial lawyers wishing to have exposure to environmental law concerns, can work discreetly on technical research and scenario analyses relating to specific community cases. This extends ELF’s professional pro bono membership offer to in-house lawyers with relevant expertise and a sympathetic employer. 

Similarly, following the return of Tom Brenan (see ‘Executive Team’ below), a new basis for university membership was devised, allowing university law schools unable to handle live cases, to join and work on policy concerns arising out of those cases, instead. This has already resulted in the net growth of the ELF university network from seven members, to ten, with those joining including Bristol University, King’s College London, University of Sussex and the Open University. The coming year will see us set areas of research for the policy clinics, as set out in the ELF draft Vision and Strategy paper. 

As before, our professional members and university legal and policy clinics, alongside our in-house team, have helped to give thousands of ordinary people a realistic, affordable route to environmental justice. In the great majority of cases, their efforts are at least partially, sometimes wholly, successful. In every case, our underlying purpose – to give affected communities a voice - is served. This participation is democracy, and fairness in the rule of law, in action. It is helping to maintain confidence in our democratic, legal and regulatory institutions, at a time when trust in them is, according to the annual Edelman survey, at a post-WWII low. 

## **Executive team** 

As in previous years, Emma Montlake continued as our mainstay lawyer, case handler and liaison officer with all members and university teams. During 2019/20, Emma was joined, on a consultancy basis, by her former ELF colleague, Tom Brenan. A qualified solicitor and experienced environmental lawyer, Tom established the ELF university network when last employed by ELF. Tom has been developing further the university clinics building relationships and developing ideas for setting up the Policy Clinic network. 

Claire Fowler continued to assist with all operational matters, including the preparation of cashflow forecasts and other management information. Claire also set in place financial and role planning for the on-going recruitment of paid paralegal interns to assist Emma, during the coming year. Sadly, Claire has announced that she will be leaving ELF in May 2021. We thank her and wish her every success. 

## **Trustees** 

There were no changes to the board this year. David Hart QC continued to serve as our Chair, supported by Vice Chair Michael Taite, who continued to provide operational support to the executive team and to cover those tasks which might normally be the preserve of a company secretary and treasurer. A suitable treasurer is still sought. 

## **Budget** 

ELF does not charge members of the public for its services. Membership subscriptions and donations make up a large proportion of our small income, almost all of which is spent on paying our staff to assist the communities who turn to us for help. 

Having received our final grant of £22,300 from the Tudor Trust last year we were delighted that they permitted ELF to make a continuous application for funding and we await that decision. We have asked that they fund us for another year. In addition, we welcomed our second grant from the Treebeard Trust (£20,000). This sum was granted in recognition of lost funding and as a support mechanism to ELF in lockdown.

## **Financial review** 

The trustees assess on a regular basis the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Foundation and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate its exposure to major risks. 

## **Structure, governance, and management** 

The Environmental Law Foundation (ELF) is a registered charity number 1045918. It is established as a company limited by guarantee. 

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were: 

N J Flynn D Hart QC M A Polden OBE D C B Schumacher OBE K Schneeberger MBE J C Tabone M R Taite R D Wald QC Dr J Woods 

The trustees of the charitable company form its Committee of Management and Governing Body and are empowered to act as necessary in order for the charitable company to fulfil its objectives. The members of the charitable company or fellow trustees may appoint trustees at any time. 

Appropriate induction and training is given on appointment of new trustees. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. 

Due to the size of the organisation the day-to-day running of the organisation is led by its contracted executive, supported by the Vice Chair. The remuneration of staff is approved by the board of trustees. 

This report has been prepared having taken advantage of the small companies’ exemption in the Companies Act 2006. 

The trustee’s report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 31[st] January 2022.

## ENVIRONMENTAL LAW FOUNDATION 

## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 

The trustees, who are also the directors of Environmental Law Foundation for the purpose 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 which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. 

> In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

> - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures 

> disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable 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 charitable company  and  hence  for  taking  reasonable  steps  for  the  prevention  and  detection  of  fraud  and other irregularities.

## NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 

- 1 Accounting policies 

Charity information 

Environmental Law Foundation is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Barn, 36 High Street, Pershore, Worcestershire, WR10 1DP. 

- 1.1 Accounting convention 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's Memorandum and Articles of Association,  the Companies Act 2006 and "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)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

> The charitable company has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  sterling,  which  is  the  functional  currency  of  the  charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  under  the  historical  cost  convention.  The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

- 1.2 Going concern 

   - At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees  have a reasonable  expectation  that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. 

- 1.3 Charitable funds 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. 

> Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## 1.4 Incoming resources 

Income is recognised when the charitable company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

> Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charitable company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. 

- 1.5 Resources expended 

> Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. 

- 1.6 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

> Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases 

Computers                                                         3 years on cost

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 

- 1 Accounting policies 

## (Continued) 

> The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. 

## 1.7 Impairment of fixed assets 

> At each reporting end date, the charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to 

> determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such 

> indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

- 1.8 Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 

## 1.9 Financial instruments 

> The charitable company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial  instruments  are  recognised  in  the  charitable  company's  balance  sheet  when  the  charitable company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## Basic financial assets 

> Basic  financial  assets,  which  include  debtors  and  cash  and  bank  balances,  are  initially  measured at 

> transaction  price including  transaction  costs and are subsequently  carried at amortised  cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## Basic financial liabilities 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

> Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course 

> of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within 

> one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## Derecognition of financial liabilities 

> Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## 1.10 Retirement benefits 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

## ENVIRONMENTAL LAW FOUNDATION 

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 

- 2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

In the application of the charitable company's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from  these estimates. 

> The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting 

> estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that 

> period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
