## **Company Number 03423104 Charity Number 1070744** ## **RODLEY NATURE RESERVE TRUST LTD** ## **DIRECTORS' REPORT AND UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025** **Company Number 03423104 Charity Number 1070744** ## _**RODLEY NATURE RESERVE TRUST LTD**_ ## **Report of the Directors for the year ending 31 December 2025** The directors are pleased to present the annual directors' report together with the financial statements for the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2025, 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** The Reserve reached another milestone this year celebrating the 25th anniversary of its official opening by the then Minister of State for the Environment, the Rt. Hon. Michael Meacher MP. Thanks to a dedicated band of volunteers and the support of many individuals and organisations it has been possible to create something very special here, not just a haven for wildlife but a valuable community asset too. None of this would have been possible without the commitment and support of Yorkshire Water and we must thank them for giving us this wonderful opportunity. Our habitat management team of volunteers had another busy year. Further development and maintenance work took place at the Dragonfly Ponds where water plants were introduced with varying levels of success and the area continues to be under development. The thatched roof of the education shelter at the corner of Tim's Field was looking very sad and the decision was taken to re-roof using cedar shingles. The work was carried out by our volunteers and the result was a very smart revamp of the shelter, celebrated with a "topping-out" ceremony. Along with the Yorkshire Water support mentioned above, we received personal donations from a number of Friends of the Reserve. ## _**Species sightings**_ A highlight in the early part of the year was the appearance of an adult Otter and two juveniles on the river by the bridge on 19[th ] January. Otters can travel long distances on the river and so the number of sightings can vary considerably from year to year. This year proved to be a good one with numerous further sightings. New species continue to be recorded but a Bee-eater, seen by a lucky few on 12[th] April, was unexpected. Another new species was a dragonfly - the Norfolk Hawker. A male was recorded at the Dragonfly Ponds on 21st and 22[nd] June. Just a week later a female was observed egg-laying in two of the ponds – all good signs for the future. Cormorants are a common sight on the Reserve but a bird with a coloured leg ring spotted in a tree on one of the islands on the Lagoon on 17[th] August received special attention. On investigation it was found to have been ringed as a nestling in the Netherlands just two months earlier. Another colour ringed bird, a Little Egret photographed on the Duck Marsh on 18[th] October, proved to have been ringed in the nest at Hale Duck Decoy in Cheshire on 22[nd] May this year. ## _**Barkers / Airedale Mills development**_ Finally the Trust 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. At December 2025 the situation was largely unchanged since our report in the 2022 accounts, however in 2026 work has started to prepare the site for construction. As previously noted, the maintenance of an adequate ecology buffer/wildlife corridor between the properties and the river throughout the building process and in the longer term continues to be 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. 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. 2 **Company Number 03423104 Charity Number 1070744** ## _**RODLEY NATURE RESERVE TRUST LTD**_ ## **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. Education will always be an important part of our work and bookings for 2025 were again at capacity, with our Education Team welcoming 27 primary school classes. All activities offered are linked to the school curriculum. Bookings for 2026 were also at capacity before the end of the summer term. We had another 5 visits from older students and 17 uniformed organisations, providing a range of activities for them. These have taken place on those days when we are not open to the general public. Our own children’s club, the Rodley Robins continues to go from strength to strength with a waiting list for places. 2026 will be our 10th Anniversary and since its inception, over 30 children have enjoyed the nature activities we have offered Our events team had another busy and successful year organising and running a range of different events throughout the year, starting with the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch in January, Nest Box Building in February, Easter Egg Hunt, in partnership with Aireborough Rotary Club, on Easter Sunday, Spring Bird Walk to celebrate International Dawn Chorus Day in May, Nature Quest Day in July, Fungus Forays in October, ending with the Halloween Event on Sunday 25[th] October. Supervised Pond Dipping during the summer months was, as always, popular with the children as were the Bat Nights and Moth Trapping. All our events are provided free of charge. ## **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 light refreshments within the Visitor Centre ## **Financial Review** The Statement of Financial Activities shows a net profit of £3,104 and total funds as at 31 December 2025 of £556,348 The Directors have a policy to retain reserves adequate to maintain and operate the Nature Reserve for one year should no income arise plus £5,000 as a contingency. They estimate that this would together require £40,000. At 31 December 2025 the unrestricted reserves are £332,855 (2024 £319,177). ## **Future Developments** Looking ahead in 2026, work has commenced in the early part of the year on the building development on the Barkers Field site. The trustees 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 continued to support us throughout the year and, of course, the Friends of Rodley Nature Reserve who have continued to raise the valuable funds needed to maintain this wonderful place. 3 **Company Number 03423104 Charity Number 1070744** _**RODLEY NATURE RESERVE TRUST LTD**_ ## **Directors, Senior Officials, Advisors and Administrative details** The Directors (also referred to as Trustees) in position on the date this report was approved are: M J Bellwood C Finn R Gander J S Knapp K A McLeod P Murphy D A Nesham L Staniland D Swann A Woodall The Directors named above are Full Members of the Company. **Company Secretary** P Murphy **Company Number** 3423104 **Charity Number** 1070744 **Registered Office** 12 West End Lane Horsforth Leeds LS18 5JP **Bankers** Virgin Money 94 - 96 Briggate Leeds LS1 6NP National Westminster Bank plc 7 Hustlergate Bradford BD1 1PP The Charity Bank Ltd Fosse House 182 High Street Tonbridge TN9 1BE **Honorary Independent Examiner** C Lawrence 8 High Ash Avenue Leeds LS17 8RG 4 **Company Number 03423104 Charity Number 1070744** ## _**RODLEY NATURE RESERVE TRUST LTD**_ ## **Structure, Governance and Management** ## Governing Document Rodley Nature Reserve Trust is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, and was incorporated on 27 August 1997. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. 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 10 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. 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 bi-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.

In 2001, 2007, 2015 and 2019 additional pieces of land were transferred under the original lease increasing the annual rent to £61 per annum. In 2024 a small parcel of additional land was added to the lease at no cost, to enable an extension and improvement to our disabled parking facilities. ## **10 Employees' remuneration** The Trust is operated entirely by volunteers who receive no remuneration. Their tasks primarily involve the management of the reserve and the Friends of Rodley Nature Reserve Group, habitat management, operation of the Visitor Centre and providing education opportunities for members of the local community and visitors. ## **11 Directors' remuneration, reimbursed expenses and donations** No director received remuneration for their service during the year. A total of £4,904.22 was reimbursed to 5 of the directors, officers or their direct family during the year in respect of expenditure incurred on behalf of the reserve. These payments were for publicity, post, administration, purchase of stock for resale, protective clothing and habitat management (2024 - £2,562 to 7 directors or officers). A further 2 directors and one volunteer operated floats throughout the year, totalling expenditure of £7,136.96 on kitchen goods and hygiene products, education supplies and printing, fuel and oil for habitat machinery and assorted small item habitat expenditure (2024 £6,634). All float expenditure is reviewed and approved. Further, 7 directors, officers and their direct family subscribed to the Friends of Rodley Nature Reserve or made donations to the value of £90 (2024 £160 by 10 directors). ## **12 Taxation** The Trust is a registered charity and is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that the income and gains are applicable and applied to charitable purposes only. |**13**
