RODLEY NATURE RESERVE TRUST LTD
Report of the directors for the year ending 31 December 2022
The directors are pleased to present the annual directors' report together with the financial statements for the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2022, 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
On 3rd January 2022 the Reserve once again had to close - this time due to removal of the canal bridge at Moss Bridge Road. The replacement of this bridge was originally scheduled to take 3 months and Yorkshire Water negotiated on our behalf to obtain access for the Reserve volunteers over the farmer's fields at the top of the reserve. However, this access permission was not extended to visitors.
We were relieved when the first phase of the work was completed on schedule; the old bridge had been removed and the canal was once again open to boat traffic. The next stage was to be the construction of the new swing bridge and we were led to believe this would be in place by the end of May when we would again have vehicle access. In the meantime, it was decided to open the Reserve again on a trial basis on Sundays only from 3[rd] April with access on foot via the canal towpath.
Sadly, the work was to take much longer than planned and the new bridge wasn’t brought on site until October. By the end of the year we still had no vehicle access. Thanks to our hard working volunteers we were able to maintain Sunday opening for the public, continue essential habitat management work and complete an abbreviated programme of mid-week educational visits, for schools which were prepared to walk the children in along the towpath.
Inevitably, all large events had to be cancelled and sale of larger items in the visitor centre restricted to those items which could be carried out by hand. However, we were able to run a Moth Trap Opening event for our visitors on Sunday 27th August and a Fungus Foray on Sunday 23rd October, both of which were well attended. Supervised pond dipping was also able to take place during the summer months.
We have been supported throughout the year by Yorkshire Water, both in negotiating access for us and in underwriting our loss of profits claim for the losses suffered in the year. We continue to be very grateful for their support.
Along with the Yorkshire Water support mentioned above, we received personal donations from a number of Friends of the Reserve.
Species sightings
A Black Redstart, first spotted on the farmland manure heap on 1[st] April and photographed close by two days later, was only the third record for us and the first since 9[th] February 2008. The odd new species is added to the Reserve list most years and this year it was a Black-necked Grebe that was seen on the river from the bridge on 7[th] November.
The old Barn Owl nest box on the east facing wall of the Yorkshire Water compound had been used successfully by a pair of Kestrels for a number of years but it was starting to deteriorate. A new box on a post was erected at the edge of the John Ackroyd Meadow with a camera installed. The birds certainly took to their new home, five young fledging successfully, the highest number of young ever on the Reserve from one nest.
The Barn Owls also had another good year raising three young in their nest box on the Scrubland. Having cameras in both the Kestrel and Barn Owl boxes and being able to relay images to monitors in the Visitor Centre has certainly proved very popular with our visitors but it also allows us to have detailed information about the private lives of these birds.
Daytime sightings of Otters have been few and far between in the past but there have always been signs of their presence. This year was almost certainly the best ever with numerous daytime sightings and a female with two young on several occasions.
Back in 2019 the Reserve was officially recognised as a Dragonfly Hotspot by the British Dragonfly Society. Two new species were added to the growing list this year - the Willow Emerald and Golden-ringed Dragonfly

Barkers / Airedale Mills development
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.
The maintenance of an adequate ecology buffer/wildlife corridor between the properties and the river throughout the building process and in the longer term is an area of particular concern as it 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 before the construction phase begins.
A proposal to construct a pipeline across the ecology buffer for storm water discharge into the river is a worry as this could include pollutants and is immediately upstream of our water inlet where we pump water onto the Reserve’s wetlands. This could have devastating consequences for our wildlife populations. It is also in an area where there has been a considerable amount of Otter activity this year.
Another area of concern is the prevention of domestic cats from accessing the Reserve. This would cause a major problem for ground nesting birds and small mammals such as our Harvest Mouse population that we have spent so many years establishing. It does appear that these concerns have been addressed but we do, nevertheless, need to remain vigilant throughout the construction process.
The Board are keeping the situation under review .
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, a lower than normal number took place in 2022 due to the restricted "walk-in" access along the tow path and school timetable restrictions on the amount of time available for a visit. Rodley Robins continued to meet, initially off-site at various locations (dubbed "Rodley Robins on Tour") for the first 7 months, then on-site from August. This latter period did result in the sessions being shorter than usual due to the walk in along the tow-path. However every effort was made to keep the children involved and engaged through this difficult 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 £9,696 and total funds as at 31 December 2022 of £547,084
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 £30,000. At 31 December 2022 the unrestricted reserves are £292,303 (2021 £271,002).
Future Developments
Looking ahead in 2023, we now have vehicle access once more, albeit with teething problems in the opening and closing of the new bridge. We still have the building development to deal with in the future but the trustees have continued to closely examine the planning application in great detail and have submitted a number of reports to the Planning Department. We will continue to monitor developments, in particular potential access issues during construction.
Finally, can we once again 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. We must also thank all of you who have taken the time and trouble to make your own views known on the Planning website. The Trust continues to work closely with local councillors and Leeds City Council planning officers and Yorkshire Water to ensure the interests of the Reserve, its users and local communities are protected.

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 11 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. During the Coronavirus pandemic, some meetings were held remotely. However in-person meetings resumed on a monthly basis in 2022.
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

Loss of Profits arose due to the closure of the direct access at Moss Bridge Road, during the replacement of the canal bridge, required for the development of the old Barkers site. Details of the closure are set out in the Directors' Report.
The compensation claim has been underwritten by Yorkshire Water on our behalf. The sum included as exceptional income above represents the sums actually received at the date of preparation of these accounts. Compensation for Quarter 4 to the value of £4,583 has been applied for, but not yet received from Yorkshire Water and is therefore not included in the accounts as either an income item or a debtor.
