Activity plans and development objectives of the Trust are agreed by the BoT. At each Normal Meeting a progress report is given by the lead person for each of our key areas of activity.
The induction and training of Trustees is undertaken by the existing BoT. Our Articles of Association mandate at each Annual General Meeting that one-fifth, or, if their number is not a multiple of five, then the nearest to onefifth, must retire by rotation.

Our work relies upon people supporting us by giving their time voluntarily, and we owe a debt of gratitude to all those who generously donate their time and skills. Volunteers participate in training, and work under the supervision of Trustees or other appropriate persons as delegated by the BoT.
The BoT have developed policies and procedures and will review them as required. The BoT continues to assess risks on an ongoing basis, and maintain appropriate insurance cover.
- A risk management strategy has been implemented which comprises: ▪ a regular review of the risks which the Trust may face;
- the establishment and implementation of procedures to mitigate those risks identified.

for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **3.2 Summary of Activities**
## 3.2.1 Projects
The second year of our Yorkshire Water funded ‘Catchment Development Project’ brought in new funding for nature restoration projects, creating new wetlands at two sites in Wakefield, produced 5 weir removal feasibility studies, and supported Natural Flood Management project development.
Our ‘Farm & Rural Liaison Project’ provided advice to 50 landholders and unlocked 25 ha of land for nature restoration. We also produced training materials on soil and grazing management for horse owners and established a landholder engagement ‘memorandum of understanding’ for organisations the Calder catchment. In addition, we took on formal hosting/facilitation responsibilities of the ‘South Pennine Farmers Group’.
The ‘River Health Project’ recovered significantly following the initial impact of COVID-19 restrictions. With the help of contracted project management support, the volunteering onboarding, training, and data submission processes were all refined. Our volunteers also pioneered implementing a new modular Riverfly training approach, with our in-house trainer Melvyn Wood certifying his 100th Riverfly monitor. We hosted a successful end-ofseason event for 25 volunteers, and a webinar for all to attend. The project was aided by more than 30 volunteers to take 87 samples in 2021-2022 to a nationwide longitudinal study into the health of invertebrate life in the nation’s watercourses.
## 3.2.2 Catchment Partnership
The Trust continued to host the ‘Calder Catchment Partnership’ during this period. With support of stakeholders, we refreshed the ‘Calder Catchment Management Plan’ and produced a 12-month roadmap of project activities.
We hosted four web-based catchment partnership meetings, attended by the Environment Agency, Yorkshire Water, and many other organisations working across the landscape in our catchment.
We supported collaborative applications to the ‘Green Recovery Challenge Fund’ (with River Holme Connections and Slow the Flow), and the Open Rivers Fund (with River Holme Connections, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, and Environmental Projects in Kirklees).

Annual Accounts and Report of the Directors
for the year ended 31 March 2022
We also supported the National Trust’s ‘Ancient Grasslands project’, looking to quantify and champion the upland acid and waxcap grasslands in the catchment.
We continued working on larger collaborative projects:
- ‘Connecting the Calder’ (weir removal and modification to restore and reconnect river habitats)
- ‘Calder Wetlands’ (development of washlands, reed beds, ponds, and wetland habitats).
## 3.2.3 Engagement & Social Media
The Trust continued to develop the website and social media platforms. These, together with mailing lists, formed the principal communication channels used by the Trust to reach out to existing and potential funding partners, other environmental organisations including Rivers Trust members, volunteers, beneficiaries of our services, and members of the public. This activity encouraged the Trust’s main citizen science project, the ‘River Health Project’, to continue following the initial COVID-19 restrictions.
The Calder Catchment Partnership ensures collaboration and information sharing amongst interested parties working in catchment. This partnership continues to work well in communicating information to and through its members and wider audiences.
## 3.2.4 Procedures & Administration
Our bank accounts remain with Lloyds Bank, where we have business accounts, that enable us to manage the Trust's finances. Four Directors have mandates to access these accounts, with at least two signatories required for every transaction.
## 3.2.5 Partnership Working
During this period the Trust has worked in partnership with the Environment Agency, DEFRA, Yorkshire Water, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, National Trust, partners within the Calder Catchment Partnership, Local Authorities, and our umbrella organisation - The Rivers Trust.

## **4 Statement of the Responsibilities of the Trustees**
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year.
In preparing those financial statements the BoT is required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy, at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the Small Companies’ Regime.

Annual Accounts and Report of the Directors
for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **5 Independent Examiners Report for year ended 31st March 2022**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out in this report (specifically on pages 14 to 26).
Respective responsibilities of Directors and Independent Examiner:
- the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the Annual Accounts.
- the Directors consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the Trust is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- (ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- (iii) to state whether particular matters come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s report:
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Trust and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Directors concerning 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 matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement:
- (a) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material aspect the requirements:
Page **12** of **29**
December 2022

Annual Accounts and Report of the Directors
for the year ended 31 March 2022
- (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- (ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities;
- (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Annual Accounts and Report of the Directors
for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **9 Notes to the Annual Accounts**
## **9.1 Accounting Policies**
## 9.1.1 Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", issued in March 2005 and the Companies Act 2006.
## 9.1.2 Incoming resources
Grants and donations are only included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Trust has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the Trust earns the right to consideration by its performance.
All incoming resources are only included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Trust is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
## 9.1.3 Resources expended
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources.
## 9.1.4 Fund structure
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the Directors.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
