RODLEY NATURE RESERVE TRUST LTD
Report of the directors for the year ending 31 December 2021
The directors are pleased to present the annual directors' report together with the financial statements for the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS102) as applicable to small entities.
Objectives and activities
The company's objective and its principal activity is the care and management of leased lands at the former Rodley Sewage Treatment Works as a nature reserve. This is achieved by habitat management for wildlife, in particular the wildlife of wetland habitats, and the education of the public in the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of wildlife.
Achievements and performance
Due to the second lockdown, the Reserve had to close its gates on 4[th] January 2021 and all planned events and school visits had to be cancelled. We were able to open again in March on a very restricted basis, on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. From mid-April refreshments were sold from the doorway of the visitor centre, with a one-way system in operation, Finally in June we were able to reopen the hides and the Visitor Centre fully. We would like to thank all the volunteers who made this re-opening possible.
When the Visitor Centre re-opened, this gave visitors their first opportunity to see live images from the new Barn Owl box on the Scrubland on a monitor in the centre. Five chicks successfully fledged this year.
Fortunately, one big project that was able to go ahead in the early part of the year was the Duck Marsh development. With the area forming part of a flood plain several permissions needed to be obtained from the Environment Agency before work could commence. Once these had been received work got underway and machinery moved on site on 8th March. The project took a little over two weeks to complete and the area had been filled with water from the Lagoon by the end of the month. This project was made possible thanks to the generous support of Yorkshire Water under their 5 year Biodiversity Enhancement Programme and we must take this opportunity to thank them again for both their investment and technical assistance without which the development would not have taken place. The re-opening of the hides from June was particularly welcomed, giving birdwatchers their first really good views of the newly developed Duck Marsh.
Several hard paths have been constructed in recent years to make access easier for all visitors but particularly so for wheelchair users. This year another such path was constructed by the Reserve’s volunteers from the Dipping Ponds along the edge of Tim’s Field and the Coppice down to the end of the Willow Path. We are grateful to the Co-op Local Community Fund for again providing the funding for this project.
We are constantly checking all waterbodies on the Reserve, both large and small, for signs of the very invasive alien water plant Crassula helmsii - New Zealand Pygmy weed. Only a tiny piece on a bird’s foot is sufficient to spread it from one water body to another. It is a serious threat to wetland habitats everywhere. Unfortunately, after work on the long ditch in the Dragonfly Pond area last year, this year it was found necessary to drain one of the larger ponds after spiking the liner. The liner will be buried and a new liner laid in 2022. We would like to thank John Lewis Partners and BUPA, both of whom have kindly contributed to the cost of replacement liners for the Dragonfly Ponds.
Along with the donations mentioned above, we received personal donations from a number of Friends of the Reserve.
Species sightings
A very wet January and heavy snow on the night of 1[st] February followed by a rapid thaw saw the river running very high. The following weekend the weir at Newlay partially collapsed under the pressure of water. As a result the river level below the Rodley weir dropped considerably and where there were once deep glides there were now rippling shallows - ideal conditions for Dippers, a bird which had been hard to find here in recent years. The Dippers responded and it proved to be one of the best years for this species with numerous sightings of one and on occasion, two birds together.
Other highlights this year included an immature White-Tailed Eagle drifting over the reserve on 5th May, a Yellow-Browed Warbler heard and briefly seen on 16th and 17th October and a Yellow-Legged Gull showing for several weeks from mid-April. The Kestrel pair were once more successful, raising three chicks and Common Buzzards are now regarded as resident, with a pair nesting in the trees on the far bank of the river.
The new Duck Marsh enjoyed a variety of visitors, including a Dunlin (first record since 2012), several appearances of a Great White Egret, Little Ringed Plover and Green Sandpipers.

Reserve access
Finally the Board continues to be faced with issues with regard to the development of the Barkers Field area that is adjacent to the entrance to the Reserve.
Writing this in January 2022 the Reserve is again closed but not due to the pandemic this time. It is the replacement of the current ageing swing bridge over the canal that has necessitated the closure. Sadly, the long threatened development of the Airedale Mills site (formerly Barkers factory) next to the entrance to the Reserve is finally about to happen and we do have grave concerns over the future of some of our wildlife. Despite the closure of the Reserve there is important habitat management work and site security for us to think about and we have been able to negotiate limited access during this period for our habitat management volunteers to carry out these tasks.
The Board are keeping the situation under review and will reopen the Reserve as soon as sensible and sustainable access can be obtained for both Visitor Centre and wardening volunteers and members of the public.
Managing for the Public Benefit
The Directors have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. Rodley Nature Reserve Trust recognises the need to carry out its charitable activities for the benefit of the public and retains this aim at the centre of its strategic planning.
Involving children in the natural world is an important part of our work on the Reserve and school visits have always proved very popular. Sadly, none were able to take place in 2020. However, they were able to resume this year, the first ones taking place in June, albeit with reduced numbers of children on each visit. Our children’s club, the Rodley Robins were also able to resume their monthly activities, from 8[th] May, the first time the group had been together since March last year.
Fundraising Policy
Rodley Nature Reserve Trust does not employ agents to raise funds on their behalf, nor does it undertake unsolicited mailings to request donations.
Funds are raised through: Grants received Unsolicited donations and legacies from members of the public Membership of the Friends of Rodley Nature Reserve Corporate donations either unsolicited or via application/nomination
Off site donation boxes where the responsible official has either requested in writing, or has given written permission On site donation boxes On site fund raising events Sales of products and catering within the Visitor Centre
Financial Review
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a net surplus of £4,579 and total funds as at 31 December 2021 of £537,388
The Directors have a policy to retain reserves adequate to operate the Nature Reserve for one year should no income arise plus £5,000 as a contingency. They estimate that this would together require £20,000. At 31 December 2021 the unrestricted reserves are £271,002 (2020 £261,886).
Future Developments
We will continue to monitor developments with regard to the Barkers Field development, in particular potential access issues during construction.
The trustees have examined the planning applications for the housing development in great detail and have submitted their report to the Planning Department. One area of particular concern is the maintenance of an adequate ecological buffer/wildlife corridor between the properties and the river as this is extremely important to maintain connectivity of wildlife populations along the river. We are also concerned as to how this zone is to be protected and have stressed the need for adequate secure fencing to prevent human access to the riverbank which has become an important area for Otters to rest up using the bank and tree roots.
Another important area of concern is the prevention of domestic cats from accessing the nature reserve. Again secure fencing is needed, this time on two sides of the development. As we know to our cost, just one domestic cat can do considerable damage to ground nesting birds but 20 or more such animals could prove a disaster, particularly for Harvest Mice, a Biodiversity Action Plan priority species which has been the subject of an important breeding and release programme over recent years. The trustees are monitoring the situation closely as work progresses to ensure that our concerns are acted on.
In conclusion, 2021 has been another difficult year for everyone. As of January we again find the Reserve closed to the public, due to the closure of access over Moss Bridge, while replacement bridge work is undertaken.
Finally, can we say a big thank you to all our volunteers and visitors who have supported us throughout yet another challenging year and, of course, the Friends of Rodley Nature Reserve who have continued to raise the valuable funds needed to maintain this wonderful place

Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document

Anyone over the age of 18 can become a member of the company provided they are approved by 75% of the Directors appointed at the time of their application. There are currently 9 members each of whom agrees to contribute £1 in the event of the charity winding up.
Appointment of Directors
Members have the power to appoint directors. Also the directors have the power to appoint no more than 4 additional directors to their number, subject to approval by 75% of the directors.
Organisation
The charity is organised so that the Directors normally meet once a month to manage its affairs. However this year, due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, some meetings were held remotely.
No staff were employed by the charity during the year. However the charity is grateful to volunteers for the skills and support they so willingly bring.
Friends of Rodley Nature Reserve were set up in 2001 as a Branch with the sole purpose of raising funds for the Trust. The Friends meet monthly and manage a separate bank account.
Risk Management
The Directors are to continue to review the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate these risks.
Internal risks are minimised by the continued implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the company. These procedures will be periodically reviewed to ensure they still meet the needs of the company.
: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
: observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
: make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
: prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will ..continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included in the charitable company's website.
Statement as to disclosure to our Independent Examiner
In so far as the Directors are aware at the time of approving our annual report:
a) there is no relevant information, being information needed by the Independent Examiner in connection with preparing his report, of which the Independent Examiner is unaware.
b) the directors have made the necessary enquiries that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all the steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the Independent Examiner is aware of that information.
By order of the board of directors
