Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | The Sussex Bat Group was formed in 1984 to help conserve bats in East and West Sussex. The Group is a registered charity made up of volunteers who share a passion for bats. We are affiliated with the Bat Conservation Trust. Bats are facing serious population declines across the UK. There is a bat group in nearly every county working to help reverse this decline. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The aims of the Sussex Bat Group are to: ▪ Help conserve bats and their habitat. ▪ Raise awareness of bats and their conservation. These aims are achieved by: ▪ Recording and monitoring bat populations in Sussex. ▪ Assisting Natural England with roost visits where threats to bats may exist. ▪ Carrying out conservation projects such as bat box schemes, improving roost sites or opening and protecting potential sites. ▪ Organising talks and educational events throughout the year. ▪ Providing a care and rescue service for sick and injured bats, with the backup of permanent bat hospitals. ▪ Producing a regular newsletter - The Belfry |

Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Sussex Bat Group (SBG) is affiliated to the Bat Conservation Trust. Its members are dedicated to the conservation of the bats of Sussex and to increasing general awareness of bat conservation. For many years, SBG has been monitoring the presence of small numbers of greater horseshoe bats in Sussex, primarily in hibernation sites, and it was SBG members who recently discovered this highly significant pioneering breeding colony. During the last century, greater horseshoe bat numbers fell by over 90% in Britain, by some estimates, and the species became confined to parts of Wales and south-west England. Today, however, there is some much-needed good news. The population is showing signs of recovery, with small colonies now found outside of this core area. This includes one pioneer breeding colony recently discovered in an old stable block in Sussex a sign of a possible eastward spread. In 2021 the Sussex Bat Group in partnership with the Vincent Wild Trust launched the Sussex bat Appeal. The two organisations were |
given nine months to raise the purchase price of £200,000 to secure ownership and £150,000 to fund renovation work. The West Sussex site will be owned by Vincent Wildlife Trust as a bat roost in perpetuity. It will be managed by the Trust in conjunction with the Sussex Bat Group. Right now, this is probably the most important greater horseshoe bat roost site in Britain and the most significant find since the group was formed in 1984. The halt of biodiversity decline and species recovery programmes benefit society as a whole,

| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | We had a policy of holding between £5-£10k in reserve for a specific conservation-based project |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | Zero |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |

Para 1.24 | Zero |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | Cost of living has seen donations decrease. Committee members are working as volunteers to operate the charity and we are very reliant on a few key members to keep fundraising, undertaking site visits and help manage the operation of the charity. Most committee members have full time employment. The passing of our founder in 2023 and a period of significant illness for a trustee, the resignation of a committee member following illness and Covid has meant more pressure on other committee members. Some committee members have also re-located. We are currently trying to actively engage new members |

| The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) |
Para 1.47 | In 2021 / 2022 we launched a fundraising page via Just giving, had auctions, wrote to potential supporters Sussex Bat Appeal-Help us create a safe haven for horseshoe bats-JustGiving In previous years our income has never exceeded £3000.00 but this financial year it has increased to £45,478.13. As a charity operated solely by volunteers this is a significant step change in terms of financial management and auditing. |
| Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted |
Para 1.46 | N/A |
| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | Lack of volunteers to help run the administration of a small charity which launched a successful appeal. This has meant some of our other routine activities such as website updates, newsletters and time for public engagement has been more restricted as we are focusing on the appeal. This is actively acknowledged through our regular committee meetings and lack of volunteer time is the main current risk. |

Sussex Bat Group FINAL accounts 2021/2022
Welcome to the overview of our accounts for 2021/2022
This has been an exceptional year for the Sussex Bat Group in terms of income due to the Sussex Bat Appeal, so a year-on-year comparison is not relevant with 20/21 accounts. Therefore, key highlights and explanations of the transactions are as follows:
Due to our income being more than £25,000 we need to implement the following to comply with the charity commission rules:
Income over £25,000
You must answer questions about your charity in an annual return.
You will need to get your accounts checked and provide copies of your:
-
trustee annual report (this isn’t just the treasurer (Stephanie Murphy, it will be a combined report by all trustees which includes Amanda Millar and Sheila Wright and will include a lot more detail on the Sussex Bat Appeal)
-
accounts
-
independent examiner’s report (this has been requested through an external source and upon provision of these draft accounts we hope to secure a suitable reviewer). However, we welcome suggestions from bat group members.
Income
-
Income from subscriptions and associated donations when members are renewing was £1970.08 . This is higher than previous years, so it is worth considering that a considerable proportion of this is donations. We now have online banking so the treasurer can download statements at intervals to allow the membership secretary to ascertain, going forward, what proportion is donations compared to subscriptions. Hopefully, this can be completed by the membership secretary before the AGM in November, so accounts can be finalised (subject to the external review). It will need to be reconciled before the charity commission return, which is due in July 2023.
-
Specific donations to the current account totalled £69 and walk/talks for Sussex Bat Group (not associated with Sussex Bat Appeal) was £40. Income to the current account that was specifically associated with the Sussex Bat Appeal was £7188.69. This money came from a combination of walks/talks where the doner had our current account details on file but primarily from the Sussex Bat Group eBay Auction as eBay would not accept a deposit account as a means for transactions. All these funds were transferred to the Sussex Bat Group Deposit Account.
-
Income directly into the Deposit Account for the Sussex Bat Appeal was £37,088.93 . This was primarily from the Sussex Bat Group Just Giving Page and well done to those doing specific fundraising activities. Other sources of funding included Environment Agency, CAF, Bat Groups and Social Media Fundraising via Facebook / PayPal.
-
Total income for the year was £45,637.63.
Expenditure
-
Our total expenditure for 2021_2022 was £845.99.
-
Belfry Expenses were £299.96 and other expenses including those associated with maintenance of hibernation tunnels and expenses related to the Sussex Bat Group Auction were £546.03.
-
We transferred, in total, to the Vincent Wildlife Trust £44,632.14 for the Sussex Bat Appeal from the Deposit Account for the Sussex Bat Appeal.
-
There has been no claim from the bat hospital so a provision must be set aside for this.
-
All outgoings totalled = £45,478.13.
The relevant paperwork including receipts and all bank statements are available for members’ scrutiny at the AGM or can be requested electronically.
