The Society encourages people to explore and learn about the special qualities and distinctiveness of the area whlch is recognised as being of unique value and needs to be nurtured for the benefit of future generations to enjoy. The Surrey Hills Society is dedicated to the protection and enhancement of this outstanding and natural landscape. The Society's alms and roles are.. 1 Creating greater awareness and understanding of the Surrey Hills through education, publicity and events 2 Providing activities for members and supporters of the Society, including walks, talks, social events, advice, communications for (and with) members 3 Promoting and championing farming, forestry and loGal industries, including tourism, and raising awareness of local produce and crafts 4 Protecting and improving facilities for recreational use of the area 5 Encouraging conservation alongside the improvement of the amenities and features which make the Surroy Hi118 8peGial 8 Influencing regional and local authorities, seeing high stsndards of planning so as to protect and enhance the landscape and character of the Surrey Hills. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissions, general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

Surrey Hills Society Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Society volunteers continue to promote the special protected landscape of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in many ways, ranging from.. Running evéntg to educata our mernber8 and residents about the are8 Leading free walks across the county and developing walks that can be promoted to the public Promoting volunteer conservation aGtIVlty working wlth a wide range of schools, community groups and corporates Promoting diversity and access for 811 in the Countryside Supporting and promoting the work of other related charities Manning our stall at local shows across the county, handing out free walks leaflets and showcasing the special attractions of the area; and Giving talks to other groups and organisations Our regular volunteers, of which there are over 50, contrlbute their time and share their passion for everything to do with the Surrey Hills- from Its wonderful flora and fauna and rare habltats to its unique culture and heritage, as well as its leisure opportunities. They also collaborate with other organisations across the Surrey Hills to raise ftjnds for agreed worthwhile projects within the area, which benefit both the environment and the residents of Surrey. Durlng the year the composition of our Trustee Board has changed, and I would particularly like to thank Stella Cantor, Sarah Jane Chimbwindara and Andrew Povey, who all stood down at the AGM after long periods of service. I'm delighted to welcome our new trustees- Catherine Mccusker, Shauna Robinson, Claire Harris, Karen Clarke and Sat Luthra. They are already making a huge contribution to the Society and I feel confident that the Society will continue to flourish with their enthusiastic assistanoe. In the current year, we have run 50 events for our members and their guests with 1,035 attendees. This is 10 more events than last year, and I would like to particularly thank Sall Baring and her Events Committee for all their hard work. The events would not happen without our extensive neOrk of volunteers and, as with last year, approximately 850 volunteer hours have been recorded in supporting the programme. It is important to emphasise that these events are key to the h88lth of our Society, not only for the income they generate, but also so that we have a continuous interesting programme to offer both members and non-members alike. The programme included 16 walks {21 last year) of varying lengths both in th8 countryside and In towns and villages right the way across the Surrey Hills. Our largest numbers came with a 9 mile walk that we organised for Activ8 Inclusion, a Muslim Hiking Group, from Gomshall to Guildford - we were joined by over 100 walkers from as far away as Sheffield and Manchester and it was heartwarming to see so many people enjoying the Surrey Hills for the first time. Seven of the walks were organised as part of Guildford Walkfest. There were several visits to pla5 of interest in the Surrey Hills as well as a number of talks. Our visits encompassed a wide variety of activities from President's day exploring Ripley to the Patchworking Gardens in Dorking, Glass Fusion with Hazelhouse Jewellery, a guided tour behind the scenes at RHS Wisley, discovering Chaldon House and ChurGh and a visit to the Surrey History Centre at Woking as well as exploration days in Leatherhead and Caterham. One of our most popular events was a talk entitled "Over Hére- The Lives and Legacy of the Wartime Canadians in Surrey" by Military Historian, Lorraine Spindler. This year we alp ran a number of nature based events including a dragonfly walk at Thursley, a bat walk and talk at Albury and a sunset walk at RSPB Farnham to listen to nightjars. Many of our events are organised in conjunction with local charities and wherever possible we made donations to support their work. The remainder of the funds generated go towards paying for our part-time website coordinator, Lesley Crofts, who does a superb job, managing the promotion and booking of our events through the website, and much more besides. Our full time Project and Volunteer Coordinator, Christa Emmett, has continued to facilitate a variety of conservation and engagement activities. During the financial period under review we have organised a numberof volunteering events including hedge planting events resulting in 2.6 kms of hedgerow being planted over several 51tes in the Surrey Hills. 632 volunteers participating have contributed just under 3200 hours of work. We have Page 4 of 17
engaged a wide range of groups including schools, corporates, community groups and members of the public. The total number of trees planted including the hedgerow amounts to 14700. Since Christa started in October 2021, we have now facilitated the planting of over 4.5 kms of hedgerow and 26000 trees. Another major effort has involved the use of specialist "tree-popping" tools to remove inappropriate tree species such as silver birch and hawthorn from our precious chalk downland. This is one of the richest habitats of Western Europe, contsining a great diversity of plants and animals. It is now very rare and fragmented and is of international conservation importance. Other activities have included mulching and weeding around trees, harvest mouse and hedgehog surveys, and litter picking. We also coordinated the delivery of 5 freshwater naturalne38 a8scs3ment tralnln9 session5, run by the Freshwater Blological Association, in which just under 90 volunteers from the National Trust, Surrey Wildlife Trust, My Green Future Programme and Surrey Hills were trained in conducting freshwater naturalness assessment citizen science surveys. th funding from Surrey County Council's Green Social Prescribing Team, the Society in collaboration wlth Surrey County Council, National Trust Surrey Hills and Surrey Wildlife Trust worked on a project called My Green Future, a 12-week volunteering programme for nine 18-24 year olds, not currently working in the environmental sector, who were keen to pursue a career in this sector. There were a series of practical conservation, career and training sessions once 8 week and this was hugely successful. The following quote sums up the way the course was received.. "MGF has been amazing and has had a huge benefit on my life and helping me decide what I want to do. It has been an incredible opportunity, and I hope it is something which continues on and inspires more people like it did with me. I think all the advisors have been amazingly helpful, and always willing to help and guide us." We have worked wlth some Incredible partners over the year and our partnership with Surrey Choices Growth Team has continued to be highly successful. Sufrey Choices supports adults with a range of disabilities, particularly learning disabilities, to undertake conseniation and access work across Surrey, giving them skills and volunteering opportunits'es, which may help with future employment. Worthy of particular mention are the partnerships that we have had with Tice's Meadow Nature Reserve. Hampton's Estste, RSPB Farnham, and Banstead Commons Conservators. We don't own any of our own land, so a big thank you to all those that manage sites such as these who facilitate all our conservation activities. Another partnership of particular note is the work that we do wlth the Surrey Wildlife Trust. They are always enormously supportive and during this year we have been able to reciprocate by making some of Christ8'S time available to support their'Nextdoor Nature, project, a national initiative funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The programme aims to inspire communities to connect and take action for nature in their local spaces, through a community organising approach, rather than through tradltional engagement work. This leads me on to hvo exciting new undertakings that we have now received fvnding for and which will really get going during 2024-25. The National Lottery Heritage Fund has awarded us approximately £145,000 to run Growing Together In the 2025 accounts year. The 8im of the project is to engage under-represented communities in the sUrY Hills countryslde by co-deslgning a programme of nature-based activities aimed at building confidence, developing skills, and improving health and wellbeing. We are working with three k8y partners, Surrey Minority Ethnic Forum, Surrey Coalition of Disabled People and Surrey Choices. Since the completion of the period currently under review we have engaged a Project Coordinator, and this is now In full swingl I would Ilke to record our thanks to the National Lottery Players for their support. We have also received £65,000 funding in the 2024 year to enable the Society to facilitate the East Surrey Care Farm Pilot Project. In February we engaged Katie Daw as Care-Farm Coordinator. She ttas now facilitated the first care-fami visits for people with mental health need in East Surrey. Care Farm visits may simply involve vlsiling the farm an(i walklng aroun(J or may Involve assisting with animal care or taking part in a craft or conservation activity. The important thing is that the visit is tailored to the individual's needs, and supporting an individual's mental health is at the forefront of the purpose of the visit. None of the above could have been achieved without the important funding that we have received for the Project and Volunteer Coordinator Post from the Community Foundation of Surrey and the Surrey Hills AONB Board. It has been particularly important to us to work with the AONB team throughout the year who do a fantsstic job under Rob Fairbank's leadership. Emma Cole has worked closely with us to help promote the work we do and Sarah Thiele and Jenna Emtnerton, who manage the Farming in Protected Landscapes IFIPL) programme that is funded by DEFRA, have been invaluable in encouraging landowners to use our volunteers.

We are now producing our printed sUrY Hills Views three times a year, but do not currently have a sponsor, so we are actively looking for someone to support this aspect. The newsletters are supplemented by regular Mailchimps to members. Particular thanks are due to Peter Salisbury for all his hard work in this connection and for all his support as our Administrator. This year we have continued our representation at various shows ably Cowordinated by Jean Arnold. These hava included The Tilford Spring Festival and the Surrey Hills Wood Fair, which are organised by sUrY Hills Enterprises. The theme of the 2023 Surrey Hills Symposlum, which the Society helped to organise, was 'Woodland Wonderf. Notable speakers included Sir Willian Worsley, Chair of the Forestry Commission and Tom Hill, Trees and Woodland Advisor for the National Trust. Personal stories and perspectives on the significance of woodlands were shared followed by a Q & A session. There were over 300 people at the Symposium and it is always an excellent opportunity to catch up with our extensive network of contacts, who are united in their enthusiasm for the Surrey Hills. Another important part of our outreach are the talks that we give to interested organlsations. During the flnancial period our Vice-President Ken Bare gave 4 such tslks to Headley Society, Westcott History Society, Bookham Trefoil Guild, Newdigate History Society and kindly donated 811 speakers fees to the Society. Our membership continues to hold up 8Xtremely well - there were 533 memberships including a significant number of joint memberships at the end of the financial period. Again, thanks are due to husband-and-wife team Martin and Stella Cantor, who respectively look after the Society finances and manage our membership. This report started by referring to our many volunteers. The trustees would like to extend our thanks to all that our volunteers do for the Society. It has been yet another successful year and there is no doubt that people are becoming more and more aware of the importance of preserving our wildlife and the environment and our beautiful Surrey Hills, GORDON JACKSON Chairman Page 6 of 17
