TEESSIDE ENVIRONMENTAL TRUST

ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Purpose of Report

To describe the actions and achievements in 2023 of TET and to consolidate and build on these achievements in future years.

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 20[th] February 2023) and Articles of Association (dated 20th February 2023) both registered with the Charity Commission.

Summary of Activity in 2022

1. 2022/2023 had been another successful year for Teesside Environmental Trust (TET). Our primary focus has remained with Saltholme Nature Reserve where we continued financial support for our partners the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) who are in their fourteenth year of operation at Saltholme.

RSPB Saltholme was visited by 49,504 people during the fiscal year, a slight improvement from the previous year. School visits returned to pre-pandemic levels with 2,749 children attending.

Teesside Environmental Trust continued to provide financial support to our tenants RSPB to enable continued improvement and development of RSPB Saltholme. The reserve saw significant improvements and development of projects such as the creation of additional wetland habitat (protected by an anti-predator fence) and Cowpen Marsh, and the development of improved wetland features on the wet grassland within the main site anti-predator fence. An automated gate was added in the anti-predator fence to enable easy access for wheelchair and mobility scooter users. A new boardwalk, giving visitors access to the dragonfly pools (created by TET funding in 2019), was created in the autumn of 2022. A shelter was provided for visiting school groups as well as a viewing shelter for visitors to observe the Main Lake. The play area underwent a major upgrade in 2023 and was reopened just in time for the Easter holidays.

The annual number of visitors to the reserve for the full calendar year January to December 2022 was 47,979. For the ‘accounting’ year April 2022 – March 2023 the number was 49,504.

1. We have been collaborating with other partners on associated nature conservation and enhancement schemes, including the planned creation of extensive wetlands on the southern boundary of Saltholme to regenerate the environs of Holme Fleet and reduce tidal flood risk to our neighbours in the Clarences community. Our principal partners in this major project are Stockton on Tees Borough Council and the Environmental Agency, with projected completion in 2026.

2. Our only marine seawater estuary boundary frontage with the River Tees is the North Tees Nature Park on the north shore of the River Tees, in partnership with the Environment Agency and Augean PLC, we embarked upon a feasibility study to improve the conservation value of the site and preserve calcareous slag grassland habitat. Also to stop the spread of invasive species such as Silver Birch and Sea Buckthorn and restore the open mosaic slag grassland. This was once extensive on Teesside as a legacy of its iron and steel manufacturing history but is now very rare. This is a major conservation project due to its rarity and unique nature.

3. We agreed upon a further small loan to establish Teesmouth Seal Conservation Trust (TSCT) as a registered charitable body and secure a thirty-year lease of a building for conservation and renovation into a seal hospital and conservatory

4. On the 1[st] of April TET celebrated its 25[th] anniversary by hosting an event at Saltholme Reserve attended by over 60 guests, including partner agencies, RSPB volunteers, and their families. The guests were treated to guided tours of the reserve whilst learning about current and past projects. An opportunity to engage in a pond dipping activity was an excellent way for them to get hands-on experience learning about the aquatic life in the reserve and the importance of maintaining a healthy ecosystem. The film ‘Where the stone dropped’ by Ian Paine a documentary about the communities in South Gare was enjoyed by all.

5. In 2022 Newscrest, a local digital marketing company created a website to keep the wider audience informed about the progress and achievements of TET. The website aims to provide an overview of the organisation, our vision, and values. In addition to the website TET has also established a social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn. These platforms will be used to update followers about upcoming events, share success stories, and attract potential candidates for trustee positions. The creation of TET’s website and social media accounts is a significant step in raising awareness and support for the charity.

6. A donation payment of £339,500.12 Landfill Tax Credits was gratefully received from Augean plc in the period 1[st] January to 31[st] December 2022 through the agreement the Trust has with the company. £134,094.08 of the credits (TET’s ‘restricted funds’) were used to support the conservation activities at the Saltholme reserve in the same period.

Main Actions to be Undertaken in 2023

The major emphasis in 2023 will be to:

• 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.

• Increase visitors at RSPB Saltholme for the public to enjoy the nature reserve and appreciate nature conservation.

• Continued development of the Tees Tidelands Port Clarence and Tees Tidelands Nature Park projects.

• Progress negotiations with three external partners to secure additional opportunities for nature conservation and habitat conservation.

Finance Accounts

Details of the Trust’s income and expenditure in 2022 are contained in the annual accounts filed with the charity commissioner. There was a balance in the Trust’s accounts of £472,584.22 unrestricted funds and £410,371.32 restricted funds on 31[st] March 2023. 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 2022 consistent with its responsibilities for the management of the charity and to discharge its funding agreement with the with our partners.

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.

The Chair of the Board, David Kitchen

The Chair would like to note and thank Trustees for their continued commitment and provision of expertise all free of charge. Also, our partners for their dedicated support and assistance to TET achieving its objectives.
