March **2012** **TAR** 2 Through the year, especially during planning meetings, the trustees have taken into account the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit (ref. ‘public benefit requirement’, The Charities Act, 2011) TSR exists to educate and engage the public in protecting, preserving and — conserving the natural environment promoting practical climate action and the uptake of renewable, low-carbon behaviours. Our year focused on enabling community-level environmental action and learning, and on building the infrastructure that helps aligned charities and grassroots partners to deliver more, better and faster. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** The trustees confirm they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when planning TSR’s activities, making decisions and allocating resources. Our work is open to the public or sections of the public without undue restriction, with benefits made clear and, wherever possible, low- or no-cost to access. In 2024 – 25 we: - Provided **Infrastructure Support** (administrative support services) to local, collaborative charities with similar environmental objectives, strengthening governance, finance and delivery capacity. - Prepared and delivered **matched-funding campaigns** with The Big Give, including the **Christmas Challenge 2024** and the **Green Match Fund 2025** application and campaign activity, to resource place-based eco-action and public education. - Advanced community- facing programme design, drawing on TSR’s mission and prior applications that emphasise hands-on environmental learning and action (e.g., rewilding, urban greening, eco-arts engagement). ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. March **2012** **TAR** 3 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** - **Campaign readiness and delivery:** We developed and ran matched-funding activity through **Big Give Christmas Challenge 2024** , with a clear proposition — **EcoGPX® – Renewing Communities West Midlands** — to mobilise local eco-artists and communities, and we refined a results-oriented budget and impact plan ready for donor scrutiny. - • **Pipeline for 2025 public engagement:** We completed **Green Match Fund 2025** preparations and delivery phases across the window, setting measurable aims (expanding an eco-practitioner network; delivering workshops, rewilding and urban greening; and regular impact reporting) and a costed budget, improving TSR’s capability to attract and deploy restricted and unrestricted funds. - **Stronger evidence & evaluation:** We embedded a light-touch, practical evaluation approach (participant feedback, engagement metrics, simple biodiversity checks and social media analytics) to report transparently to donors and partners while keeping delivery costs lean. - **Back-office capacity that multiplies impact:** Our **Infrastructure Support** offer helped partner charities to stabilise operations and plan environmental programming; this behind-the-scenes strengthening directly increases public benefit by enabling more high-quality, safe and well-governed activity. ## **Section E Financial review** At the end of the financial year there was £699.35 in the bank. **Brief statement of the** **charity’s policy on reserves** As per the charity’s Reserve Policy , the funds will be held in reserve to offset the minimum cost of any contingency. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** No deficits ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the chari ty’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

Grow equitable access to nature-connected learning and eco-action; 2) Channel matched funding to where it changes behaviour and habitats; 3) Prove and improve impact with simple, credible evidence. ## **– Objectives (FY 2025 26).** - Deliver **subcontracted delivery** under Intercultural Roots for Public Health within the Innovate UKfunded **Extending Nature** project (project start 1 Jul 2025; TSR delivery/income falls in FY25 – 26), contributing ecological content, place-based engagement and nature-connected practice. - Run at least **two matched-funding campaigns** with clear, public-facing aims and budget lines (e.g., – - eco-workshops, artist residencies, habitat improvements), building on 2024 25 learning. ## **Potential activities.** - Community eco-workshops and micro-projects (urban greening, river-corridor clean-ups, invasivespecies removal, nature-connected arts). - Small eco-artist residencies producing site-specific public engagement and simple action guides. - Targeted back-office support (policies, budgeting, fundraising set-up) for aligned charities to accelerate safe, compliant delivery. ## **Evaluation (how we’ll know it works).** - **Participation & reach:** headcounts/registrations, demographics, volunteer hours. - **Environmental outputs:** simple habitat/bioblitz tallies (e.g., bags of litter removed, invasive patches cleared, trees/plants established). - **Learning & behaviour:** short pre/post prompts on confidence, nature- connectedness and “next actions”. - **Campaign performance:** funds raised (incl.
