Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust
Tru"stees Report
The Trustees present their report and financlal statements for the financial year ended 31
March 2021.
Structure Governance and Management
The Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust (the Trust) is a registered charity and constituted as a
Company lirnited by guarantee and hence the Trustees of the charity are directors of the
Company for the purposes of the Companies Act. The governing documents for the Trust
are the Articles and Memorandum of Association which have been filed at Companie5
House.
The Trust is affiliated with the Rivers Trust. The Trustees are recruited by recommendation
from existing Trustees and members and undertske appropriate training.
The day-to-day operations are delegated by the Trustees to the Director who liaises
regularly with the Trustees and in particular the Chaiman and Treasurer. The Director
reports on a formal basis lo the Trv5tees at Board rneeting5, which are held quarterly.
Objertives and Activities
The aim of the Trust
The aim of the Trust is to secure the conservation. protection, rehabilitation and
improvernent of rivers, St￿aM$. water courses. water impoundment5, bankside5, and
tributaries. catchment areas of the rivers Ure, Swèle, Nidd, Wharfe and Ouse(the Rivers)
for the benefit of the public. The Trust seeks to achieve this aim by using a holistic strategy
that uses the Proce￿ of-Identify - Improve - Sustain" to address all issues affecting the
catchment.
In achieving this strategy. the Trust has set the following objectives:
l. Undertake and suptM)rt annual monitoringi investlgation. and research attivitie5 to
identify and quantify issues and impacts that affect the catchment areas.
2. Collate evidence from obiertive I to priorib.se and deliver an annual restoratlon and
Improvement programme of activities across the catchment.
3. Wherever possible to Influen￿ and encourage partners delivering activities within
the catchment to undertake artions in partnetship to deliver improvements to the
Rivers.
4. To continuously engage and educate als communities. stakeholders, and Interest
groups to address wider issue5 and ensure improvements are maximised and
sustained.
Delivery obje¢tives
In dellvery of the objectives, YDRT employs a team of dedicated. experienced and highly
qualified employees. The ski115 and experience of the Trust reflett the holistic strategy.
and the Trust is committed to contlnually developing the ernployee5 through external and
internal training and pmviding opwrtunities to work on drfferent projects 50 as to provide
broad involvement in the Trust's activities.
Volunteer5
YDRT relies upon the support of volunteers for a range of activities, including tree planting.
fencing. river clean-ups, surveying and monitoring, education activities and administration

Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust
and technical support (including website maintenance and design work). YDRT would like .
to exp￿$5 its sincere gratttude for all the work undertaken by its volunteers.
Achievements and Perforniance
Enable
It has been a busy period for the Trust, with a number of new appointments across the
organisatFon. Jamie Roberts and Robert Brown replaced Chris Ryder as Joint Chairs. Dan
Tumer, Charles Forman and David Higgins left for new opportunities. The appointrnent of
a new Chief Executlve in succession to Chades had to be al)orted ovt of prudence in the
light of the financial uncertainty arising from COVID-19. As a result. the Trust had to
operate wlthout a Chief Executive for the 11 months of 2020121 that remained when
Charles departed. We did create a new Operations Director p05t, into which Marie Taylor
stepped up and for the last 11 months of an exceptionally challenging year successfully
navigated lockdown, furloughing ol staff and enforced working from home, with the
additional challenge of the 5uspens40n of volunteer artivities. Other CEO re5pon5ibilities
had to be picked up by the Twstees collettively. Marie's performance as Operation5
Director bore testament to her skill. tenacity and leadership ability and wa5 instrumental
in guiding the Trust to a position of great strength as we look to the years ahead.
Improve and Protect
A number of our flagship Natural Hood Management {NFM) projects We￿ completed in
FY21, including at Blshopdale. Brompton and at Collingham. which is YDRfs lowland
NFM demonstration site. Working alongside partners including the Environment Agency,
Natural England, North yorkshi￿ County Council and local groups and landowners. YDRT
staff worked to deliver a range of benefits throughout the catchments. Key achievements
included..
Planting 30.550 trees
Laying 9km of hedgerows
Installing 30 leaky dams, 21 shallow scrapes, and l flood basin (the latter
providing flood storage of 3.8km )
Enlisting over500 volunteer hoLsf5
The iwharfe project saw a huge public water sampliftg effort on the River Wharfe in
August 2020, engaging groups including Ilkley Clean River Group. Addingham
Environment Group and local anglers. with samples taken from 59 sites along the length
of the River Wharfe. This ambitiOUS Cltizen Scien￿ project was incredibly timely with the
issue of sewage in our rivers becoming inC￿a51nglY publicised and Ilkley's designation as
an inland bathing water 51te receiving national coverage.
Funding was also secured from the Heritage Lottery Fund to commence the second
phase of the Tees Swale Metal Mine Projert to deliver restoration work to reduce diffuse
heavy metal pollution and its impact on water quality: another 3 year5 of the River5 in
Elmet Projert to tackle sediment, nutrient loading and habitat modifications in five
waterbodies. and the development of a strategic. collective approach to prevention and
management of Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) ac￿5 the whole of the Swale, Ure,
Nidd. Ouse and Wharfe tatchments.
Collaborate
Partnershlp 15 the bedrock of many of the conservation achievements listed above. Our
strong partnership with the Environment Agency continues to underpin a number of
projects and we are now working more closely with Yorkshire Water than ever before. The
two catchment partnerships that we are funded to host by Oefra under their catchment-
based approach went from Strength to strength. with the partners in varying combinations

Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust
dellvering an increasirw volume of projects. We were able to Secure a further £48,000
from the EA for the Partnerships, to further improve the resilience of the Oales to Vale
Révers Network (DVRN. the network though which we nJn them). including by appointing
fvnding officer. The delivery approath we are developing is becoming a model for the
other partnerships across England to follow.
Engage
Despite lockdown the recommen￿Ment of volunteer events from late 2020 saw
actlvitie5 held in Brshopdale and along the River Wharfe arKI we continue to engage with
over 130 volunteers.
The Trust featured on BBC Countryfile in September 2020, willow spiling on the River
Bum.
Our first ever online auctj.on raised nearty £5,000 for the Trust's conservation work in
December- a great fund-raising efftlrt in a challenging period for public engagement.
lo
ment
FY21 was a year of great challenge and YDRT met those under the leadership of Marie
Taylor. The Trust now look to the futu￿ re-energised and restructured with a particular
focus on the following areas-

Basi$ of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions glven by the

the charity_and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It
also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements
and seeking explanations from you as Trustees conceming any such matters. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit
and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair
view" and the report is limited to those matter5 set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement

the budgeted net cash inflows for ts¥elve months from the date of accounts
approval. Whilst a material uncertainty the Trustees remain confident that the
liability will not crystallise (hence its contingent nature) and believe that excluding
that item. budgets and forecasts show the Charity to have sufficient working
capital. cash flows and reserves to remain a going concern. As the timing of the
contingent case is not yet certain, the Trustees are satisfied that at the date of
approval of these financial statements that the liability and its impact is not certain
and are therefore satisfied with their conclusion. whi15t aware of the potential risk.

Restricted grants are received to complete set objecb.ves ag￿ed betsveen all parties.
Upon completion of those objettives. funder5 have agreed to waive their ri9ht of
recourse on any Unspent grants. Accordingly. unspent residual grants have been
transferred to unrestricted funds.
Where the Trustee5 identify that a project's costs wlll exceed the grant fundin9 then full
provision is made for those costs within the unrestricted fund. The provlsion for such
situations at 31 March 2021 wa5 £11.366 (2020: £19,516)
10. Related party transattions
There were no ￿lated party transactions during the year.
11. Controlling entlty
The Trust has no controlling entity.
12. Contingent liabilities
During 2020, a third party had threatened to take legal action against the Trust. The legal
advice obtalned by the Trustees concludeil that the daim has no merit and minimal chan
of Success.
The Trust has been involved in a substantlal project which ha5 suffered from a number of
disputes with the owners of the property on which the project is based. The disputes have
included the threat of legal action and may yet result in significant liabilities. While the
Trustees are unable to quantify the amount of those liabilities if they were to arise or the
likelihood of those liabilities maierialising. they have worked extensively to mitigate the
extent of any liabilities. To that end the Trust is no longer involved in the completion of
the project, which is being taken forward by the national Rivers Trust and the Environment
Agency.
The Trustee5 have reported the matters ￿ferred to above to the Charrty Commission who
are satisfied that the Tru5tee5'are ijealing with the matter appropriately and responsibly,.
