## **TEESSIDE ENVIRONMENTAL TRUST** 

## **ANNUAL REPORT 2020** 

## **Purpose of Report** 

To describe the actions taken by the Trust in 2020 and to identify any relevant lessons for the future. 

Teesside Environmental Trust is a company limited by guarantee (company number 3438389) and it is also a registered charity (1093327). It is governed by its Memorandum of Association (dated 8[th] November 2004) and Articles of Association (dated 30[th] May 2002). 

## **Summary of Activity in 2020** 

1. 2020 was the eleventh year of operation at the Saltholme Reserve.  The year was a significantly challenging year for TET and its partner the RSPB, due to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing lockdown which closed RSPB Saltholme for long periods and involved furlough of many of their staff.  This meant that many of the joint TET / RSPB aspirations were simply not possible to progress for practical reasons. 

Despite this, within the last twelve months some activity was possible.  The ‘Saltholme Washlands’ project has ran now for a number of years, with earlier phases refurbishing and constructing new hides.  The latest phase, which was completed in 2020 involved relandscaping and creating / enhancing habitat in two areas of the site (Paddy's Pool and the Main Lake).  These not only enhance the site, and therefore the Tees estuary for wildlife, but also provide a greater spectacle for visitors, both specialist bird watchers and general visitors alike.  TET’s aim over the last few years has been to attract a new, younger, and more diverse audience, and several projects in this respect have also been funded by TET.  This includes the creation of a dragonfly safari, where visitors can see up close a greater breadth of the wildlife of the site, in addition to birds.  There has also been installation of a range of interactive senses children's games around the main lake, and another game which helps children to understand more about migration.  The latter was installed in one of the site hides. 

2. The annual number of visitors to the reserve for the full calendar year January to December 2020 was 20723 (20857 if school visits are included).  For the ‘accounting’ year April 2019 – March 2020 the number was 59133 (61500 including school visits). 

3. At the time of compiling this review the UK remains in the midst of the pandemic but with perhaps renewed hope for the remainder of the year that it may be possible to return to elements of life that seem more normal.  TET would normally meet physically four times per year, but this has not been possible, so the necessary business of the Trust has been performed electronically during the period. It is hoped that the TET Board will once again be able to meet in person and to progress new projects on the reserve that re-establishes Saltholme as one of the premier visitor attractions in the region when it fully re-opens to the public. 

4. A payment of £311,587 Landfill Tax Credits was received from Augean plc in the period 1[st] January to 31[st] December 2020 through the agreement the Trust has with the company. 



£69,883 of the credits (TET’s ‘restricted funds’) were used to support the conservation activities at the Saltholme reserve in the same period. 

5. The Trust considered regular reports from the RSPB during 2020 about the management of Saltholme, which was severely curtailed as a result of the pandemic and at times was limited to essential maintenance and security tasks. Many staff were furloughed for long periods of time. 

6. There was one resignation from the Board of Trustees during the year.  This person has not yet been replaced as the Board is considering its options to maintain the balance of professional interests and skills across the Trust. 

## **Main Actions to be Undertaken in 2021** 

The major emphasis in 2021 will be to: 

- Support the reserve in re-establishing itself after re-opening following the pandemic. 

- Support the RSPB in implementing the five-year management plan for the reserve. 

- Develop a pipeline of projects which will be implemented to both increase the offer to visitors and the value of the site to nature conservation. 

- Support the efforts to bring in sustainable sources of funding to enable financial security in future activity at RSPB Saltholme. 

- Monitor the performance of operations at Saltholme and make suggestions to the RSPB for improvements from personal experiences and by the strategic monitoring of key performance indicators. 

## **Finance** 

Details of the Trust’s income and expenditure in 2020 are contained in the annual accounts. There was a balance in the Trust’s accounts of £262,609 unrestricted funds and £301,368 restricted funds on 31[st] March 2021. The income from the Landfill Communities Fund is shown in the accounts as restricted because it can only be spent on approved projects under the Landfill Tax Regulations 1966.  The accounts have also been prepared in accordance with the Charity Commission’s regulations. 

The recommended accounting practice for charities includes the requirement for a statement of the charity’s financial reserves.  This has been introduced to discourage charities with large financial reserves from raising money faster than they can spend it. Teesside Environmental Trust maintained reserves in 2020 consistent with its responsibilities for management of the charity and to discharge its funding agreement with the RSPB. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Charities Act 2006 places a duty on charities to demonstrate a clear public benefit. The two key principles of public benefit are defined as (a) there must be one or more identifiable benefits and (b) these must be provided to the public or a section of the public. The Trust’s two main objects have been to create and maintain a nature reserve of strategic importance at Teesside and to create a visitor centre open to the public. 

In conjunction with RSPB, the Trust is achieving its objectives, but it needs to ensure that the initial volume of visitors is sustained and grows. The nature reserve opened to the public on 21[st] January 2009 and formally opened on 6 March 2009. The aim is to encourage as many 



members of the public as possible to visit Saltholme to maintain a level of 100,000 visitors per annum. To reach this goal, the Trust and RSPB have designed the nature reserve to be especially family friendly, have prepared a Marketing Action Plan and will be working with a wide range of other interest groups and local communities to encourage their involvement in the nature reserve. 

## **Charity Status: Risk Management** 

There is a requirement on charities that “the major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.”  Trustees have a responsibility to keep these risks under review.
