achievements	ofthe	this year, as volunteers have clearly had concerns about new variants,
charity during	the year	for example, Omicron in November 2021,which has resulted in fewer
		people volunteering. However, we have continued to hold fortnightly
		volunteer days during 2021-2022.
		Volunteer Days re-started in September, 2021, and while numbers have
		not quite reached pre-pandemic levels, a loyal group ofapproximately		8-
		16volunteers, led by the trustees, have volunteered on a fortnightly
		basis, helping to clear pathways, clear the sluice, install tern rafts, clear
		stonework, clear scrub, prune trees and bushes, erect birdboxes, plant
		apple trees etc
		Due to concerns about social distancing, the trustees took the decision		to
		postpone the AGM in 2021.The Secretary, contacted a representative		of
		The Charities Commission who advised her that the AGM could be
		postponed if itwas in ihe "interests ofthe trust". In April 2021, a
		representative from the Charities Commission said, "It is essential that
		members can see and hear the trustees at the AGM and ifthese
		conditions cannot be met safely, then the meeting can be postponed.	If
		this isthe case, all trustees and officers can remain in post until the next AGM. "As several ofour members do not have the technology to access
		Zoom, the decision was made to postpone ihe AGM in the interests of
		public safety and members were notified ofthe postponement. In
		addition, the trustees also took the decision to postpone membership
		fees until the next AGM. The trustees are delighted to be able to hold a
		face-to-face AGM on Wednesday 20th July, 2022 and we look forward		to
		welcoming our members and updating them on the progress that has
		been made during 2021-2022.
		Despite the challenges we have faced, 7 individuals have become new
		members between 2021 and 2022. Current membership stands at 54.
		Trustees voted to keep membership fees at the same level as the
		previous year, 2021-2022. The following are the subscriptions: Individual, f20.00;Volunteer/Student, f10.00; Life, f250.00;Corporate Sponsor.
		f100.00.As the Corporate "Members" do not have voting rights at the
		AGM, itwas agreed thai they would be redesignated, "Sponsors" rather
		than "Members". Membership fees were agreed by trustees at a meeting
		on the 16th December, 2020. Currently, new members receive: a
		membership card; a Grimsargh Wetlands Trust sticker; an exclusive
		guided walk; an invitation to the AGM with voting rights; a quarterly
		newsletter and new members receive a calendar.
		Achievements ofGrimsar h Wetlands Trust 2021-2022
		Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Grimsargh Wetlands has
		continued io thrive and while it has been a challenging year in some
		ways, and we have faced challenges trying to return to some semblance
		of"normality", much has been achieved:
		1. Meetin s —Jul 2021-June 2022
		~The last 12months have been challenging for the trustees, not least
		because, for the most part, we have been unable to hold face-to-face
		meetings. However, we have held 10general meetings in total, 8 via
		Zoom, and 2 socially distanced meetings in the Secretary's Garden. We
		hope to be able to continue to hold face-to-face meetings, but the
