OUSE & ADUR RIVERS TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Objectives
As set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the aim of the Trust is the preservation and conservation,
for the public benefit, of the Sussex Ouse and Adur Rivers and their tributaries, including the flora and fauna of the
rivers and surrounding areas. In addition, the Trust works for the advancement of the education of the public in these
matters. The Trust achieves its aims through the sourcing of funding from a variety of sources.
Activities
Over the past 12-months OART has continued to grow and hence increase its impact, adding a seventh member of staff
to the team, enabling us to develop and delivery projects which provide tangible improvements and benefits to the
strategic approach to our work over the next five years, beginning to move the organisation from a "project" to a
In project delivery, the Adur Adaptation Project delivery programme got underway and focused on establishing flow
monitoring across the River Adur, enabling us to understand catchment hydrology and target our work to the most
relevant locations. Alongside this monitoring, the project created a new wetland area at Partridge Green, installed 80+
leaky dams around Burgess Hill, and created new cross slope hedgerows, all with the aim of slowing and storing water
in the landscape to provide balance between periods of flooding and drought. The success of the Adur Adaptation
project led to the creation of the Uck Adaptation project which was awarded funding to commence in 2025-26.
We're delighted to have started a partnership with Ancient + Brave through our membership of 1% for the Planet. Based
in Uckfield, Ancient + Brave is one of the highest ranking "B" Corps in the world and are supporting our work across
the catchment, specifically our Citizen Science training and works on the River Uck. This sees OART diversify its
sources of funding and opens avenues for corporate sponsorship which have previously been difficult to achieve.
The Ouse INNS project suffered from a significant reduction in government funding and we're disappointed that this
critical element of river health and biodiversity improvement remains complex to fund. However, alternative funding
from the South Downs National Park, Lewes District Council and Southern Water enabled us to maintain control
measures at existing sites whilst trialling new methods for the eradication of Japanese Knotweed across the catchment.
Lewes District Council remain a critical partner to OART and, following the success of the Cockshut project, we have
begun work on another site near Lewes to restore the wetland environment and SSSI features at Offham Marshes and
Landport Brooks. This is alongside our continued delivery of the Ouse Valley NFM project which this year saw the
creation of extensive wetland environments across the Bevern and Longford Stream sub-catchments.
The Cockshut project (completed in October 2023) continued to be an important part of our work as we continue to
monitor the establishment of the habitats on the site and we were delighted to win two awards in the South Downs
Design Awards, taking home the Landscape Design and People's Choice awards.
We have continued to develop our chalk stream works, delivering improvements on both the Lewes Winterbourne and
Teville Stream, installing habitat, removing non-native species and working with landowners to reduce run off and
erosion across these important ecosystems.
ART continues to host the Adur & Ouse Catchment Partnership and are delighted to have employed a Catchme

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on
public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in the planning of future activities.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The incoming resources for the year ended 31 March 2025 were £433,921 (2024: £277,196). Resources expended were
£429,721 (2024: £260,554) resulting in a net surplus of £4,200 (2024: £16,642).
Reserves policy
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a net increase in total funds for the year ended 31 March 2025 of £4,200
(2024 - £16,642). Unrestricted reserves to be carried forward amount to £261,772.
These were held for the purpose of supporting the objectives of the Trust. Taking account of anticipated incoming
resources, the Trustees consider the financial position of the Society to be satisfactory.
Our policy is to have 6 months running costs.
FUTURE PLANS
As we look to the future, we will continue to develop our approaches to creating a clean and healthy catchment which is
resilient to climate change. Boosting the outputs of the Adaptation Projects on the Adur & Uck along with forming
additional partnerships and collaborations to fund these projects is a priority. Our Citizen Science work is being
reviewed with the aim of a large funding application being submitted to formalize our approaches and provide robust
data which helps not only OART, but all those we work with, to focus projects where they are most needed. This also
provides an opportunity to overhaul our water quality testing, establishing new methods and approaches which are
focused on emerging issues such as forever chemicals. Of course our work to improve rivers, build and enhance
progress over the coming year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS102, have been
prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement
of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK. and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting
Standard FRS102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the
Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these
financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The trustees/directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as
a going concern.
Income
Grants
Grants are recognised on an accruals basis, accounted for in relation to the period that they relate. Where grants
have been received for capital items the total grant has been disclosed in the SOFA and depreciation, in
accordance with the accounting policies, has been charged against that income over the estimated useful
economic life of the asset. Where grants are received during the year under review but relate to a later period the
amount is deferred under Grants in Advance to the Balance Sheet.
Other Income
All other incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally
entitled to the income and the amount is deferred under Grants in Advance in the Balance Sheet.
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis (including irrecoverable VAT) and has been classified
under the relevant headings.
(1). Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting grants, voluntary income and fees.
(2). Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and
services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those
costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
(3) Support costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily
associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided in order to write off each
asset over its estimated useful life.
Office equipment: 33% on the reducing balance
Field equipment and tools: 33% on the reducing balance
Assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised.
The aharity is considered to pass the rests set out in Paragrapin 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it
meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly the charity is
potentialiy exempt from taxation in respect of income and gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3
Part 11 Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent
that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
