## **WORLD CETACEAN ALLIANCE** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ 

The trustees present their  annual  report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **Principal activity** 

The principal activity of the charity in the year under review was that of conserving and protecting cetaceans and their habitats. 

## **Objects** 

The charity's objects as set out in the Articles of Association are : 

- To promote, by means that are exclusively charitable and for public benefit, the conservation and protection of cetaceans (dolphins, whales and porpoises) by actively assisting in the development of community projects to alleviate injury, sickness, ill-treatment, neglect or threat to animals and their environment. 

- To advance public education, in particular by providing educational and research programmes that raise public awareness both nationally and internationally, of the problems and solutions facing cetaceans and their natural environment including but not limited to natural habitat degradation, welfare concerns, and wildlife loss. 

## **WCA's Vision** 

A world where cetaceans are free, where oceans thrive, and where communities care. 

## **WCA's Mission** 

To protect cetaceans and their habitats through global collaboration. 

## **WCA's Values** 

- To ensure that all our decisions and actions are guided by sound science, animal welfare and conservation principles and that the welfare of cetaceans is paramount. 

- To ensure that all our policies and practices are founded on the highest ethical principles. 

- To work in partnership and ensure that all our interactions with partners are fair, ethical, respectful and considered. 

- To ensure that our values are never compromised in the pursuit of our objectives. 

- To hold ourselves accountable for everything we do and every decision we make. 

## **WCA's Strategic Goals** 

1. To be leaders in cetacean welfare and conservation and partner with any organisation, institution or government that is seeking positive change. 

2. To develop and deliver powerful and effective campaigns, projects and advocacy for cetaceans and their habitats around the world. 

3. To empower local people, communities, organisations to influence policies, attitudes and behaviours that will protect cetaceans and their habitats. 

4. To foster collaboration and build capacity throughout our partnership and beyond. 

5. To create an environment where all cetaceans are able to live free from cruelty, exploitation and suffering, with no need to be rescued from captivity. 

6. To promote and inspire a sense of awe, connection and respect for cetaceans and their ocean habitats. 7. To transform our society to one where the importance of cetaceans and their habitats is ingrained.

## **WORLD CETACEAN ALLIANCE** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ 

## **Public Benefit statement** 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Following the challenges of 2020 and 2021, the year saw one of consolidation and continued refocus as Harry Eckman (appointed as the new CEO in May 2021) and the management team refreshed the WCA’s business plans. The overall strategies remained largely in place and the WCA continued to move forward expanding its work and continuing to develop and grow its principal objectives and projects. 

This will again continue to evolve although the vision, mission, values and objectives of the WCA still remain vital, reflecting fundamental areas of concern including climate change, habitat degradation and cetacean populations both wild and captive. 

As the WCA entered this new era, the Trustees acknowledge all the hard work from the Team, under the CEO’s leadership. 

## **Projects** 

The Whale Heritage Site programme continues to be a flagship project with candidates for potential new sites being considered during the year. It is hoped that further sites will be announced in 2023 and that in years to come this will remain a benchmark project bringing communities and the protection of local cetaceans together for the benefit of all. The World Animal Protection (WAP) grant remains instrumental in helping this project continue. 

Comment was made in 2021 concerning the further review of whale watching certification and WCA membership. This continued during 2022 with changes planned for 2023 which will provide clarity and transparent benefits to the WCA Partners and supporters. 

The importance of education continues to remain as one of the key missions for the WCA. The development and expansion of online courses including whale ship strikes continued with further online courses and collaborations developed and planned to go live in 2023. This will help to continue spreading awareness and knowledge about the marine issues the WCA endeavours to influence, as well as becoming a valuable source of regular income. 

In addition to its projects, we are pleased to note progress in other areas. The ‘By-catch’ campaign was particularly successful attracting over 120,000 signatures. This support will be used to continue by-catch lobbying to try and bring this to a halt, particularly in British waters. 

Other projects included updating of the on-line Partner Directory; a refresh of the website and on-line shop and the sale of a unique drawing very kindly donated by Richard Symonds. 

Marketing of the WCA also benefited from the circulation of a new look newsletter, an improvement in the WCA’s social media profile and vibrant promotional videos. 

## **Financial review** 

Although the WCA continued to operate within limited resources, across the year, the WCA remained stable. As at the year-end it saw total income fall from £202,398 (2021) to £129,539. Total expenditure grew from £174,755 (2021) to £192,033. This was largely due to the timing of income receipts from World Animal Protection, loss of Sankalpa income and increased staff costs. 

At the end of the year unrestricted reserves were in deficit by £19,602 (2021: surplus £14,446). 

As commented upon in 2021, the Trustees continue to remain aware of the WCA’s funding and cashflow structure and the associated risks. The WCA remains dependent on a small number of large financial contributors. Over time the WCA is striving to diversify and spread its income streams over broader and sustainable sources to address this.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**_ 

## **Reserves** 

Ideally, the charity would maintain unrestricted reserves at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. However, the charity has not yet been able to build any reserves. 

## **Risks** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. 

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were: Roger Mann Suzanne Rogers Ian Lewis Titia Sjenitzer Jonathan Cutts 

The Board of Trustees appoint new trustees, seeking opinion and advice from the CEO and internal Global Council which is an elected representation of our membership. 

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £10 in the event of a winding up. 

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees. 

Roger Mann **Trustee**

At each reporting end date, the  charity  reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss.
